Taking what Armstrong learned from the Downwind boards initially introduced in 2023, the evolution of these boards is faster, more refined, and even more stable per size for riders from rookies through advanced. Like the previous generation, these boards are also terrifically versatile and are excellent for light-wind winging and SUP surf foiling.
INCREMENTAL REFINEMENTS
Improvements from the nose to tail, deck to bottom.
Seeking greater efficiency and user-friendliness in the paddle pop-up, each size has been lengthened to improve paddling speed and increase stability. The foil tracks are now further forward as well, for increased maneuverability and lift. When combined with subtle refinements to the rocker line and overall shape of the tail, these boards lift off the water exceptionally cleanly and easily.
FORWARD GEOMETRY
Limitless options to fasttrack your progression.
Emphasising modularity within board design, Armstrong introduced a major innovation to wing boards in 2021 with the Forward Geometry concept. Designed to work with any brand of foil, the FG design increases responsiveness by placing the foil more centrally and reducing swing weight in turns. The Wing board range carries on that design legacy with FG foil tracks that are strategically placed well forward for maximum manoeuvrability and a hyper connected feel on foil, delivering high performance to riders on all the board sizes.
MORE GRIP. MORE CONTROL.
Get the most out of your session.
Inspired by the new deck grip design on the Wing FG foilboards, the downwind boards include a fully redesigned grip tailored specifically to provide riders with maximum control, comfort, and versatility when downwinding. In conjunction with the flatter deck shape, this grip features raised central bars above the foil tracks and elevated blocks in each corner of the pad, front, for intuitive foot placement.
