FRONT WINGS:
The CF V2’s all around user friendliness appeals to both beginners seeking a foundation for progression and experienced riders pushing their boundaries. Low stall speeds combined with excellent pitch stability provide control and increased flying time across a variety of foiling sports.
- CF950 V2
- CF1200 V2

- CF2050 V2
The main wings are shaped for maximum stability and predictability at all speeds. The foil sections have been carefully designed by one of the world’s foremost sport wing designers.
Continuous testing and refinement helped Armstrong find a combination of planform, leading and trailing edge sweep and the right amount of anhedral curve that delivers super smooth flow, giving a more connected surf like feeling while on the fly.
Construction is based around a high-density foam core, which is encapsulated in Aramid cloth before being wrapped with 100% High Modulus Carbon.

MASTS
V2 MASTS
Our V2 fully tapered one piece masts are ultra solid at the top and slick through the water down below.
The unique Quad C Beam Core layup delivers a mast with smooth consistent reactive flex, generating sweet handling response and better stability by smoothing out bumps and flexing precisely to drive you through turns.
The V2 masts also feature bombproof zero corrosion Bi Directional Titanium Washer and Titanium T Nut system, which creates a rock solid connection between mast and board.
The V2 mast construction and shape combine to make a mast that will deliver predictably every time.
LENGTH OPTIONS:
- 450mm - Awesome for shallow water and easy learning all foil sport.
- 600mm - Shallow water and reef foiling where hitting the bottom might be an issue. Also a good choice for easy learning all foil sports.

PERFORMANCE V3 MASTS:
The Performance Mast range is a clean-sheet design that takes the Armstrong feeling riders know and love to new heights.
Sophisticated engineering and top shelf materials give this mast a unique combination of efficiency, stiffness and control at speed.
Collaborating with a team of America’s Cup foil engineers, we set out to develop a high performance mast to take us into the future. Our design goal called for a unique blend of strength, stiffness, drag and light weight. Combining CFD analysis with expert insight allowed us to tune each section of the mast from baseplate to fuselage connection for maximum efficiency.
The result is a top of the line mast consisting of top shelf materials, new mast section, refined baseplate, reduced drag fuselage connection and new construction method. Proprietary titanium M7 mast top hardware follows suit with a strong, light and drag reducing connection to the board.
Simply put, the Performance Mast range takes the sublime Armstrong feeling further than ever.
LENGTH OPTIONS:
- 655mm - Exceptional performance for flatwater pump, shallow water riding and young rippers.
- 725mm - Highly manoeuverable for prone surf, pump, SUP surf, wake, downwind and wing.

- 1035mm - Confidence and control at high speeds for wing, tow and kite foiling.
MAST LENGTH GUIDE
There is no golden rule to chose your mast length. It is key to understand that the longer the mast length the more difficult it is to maintain stability, and the more extreme your wipeouts will be. It is our recommendation that whatever your sport, you start on a short or medium mast length i.e. 72cm or less.
In surfing, longer mast lengths are designed to allow extra pumping room and allow more maneuverability through turns. Whereas for kiting, a longer mast length will allow a greater upwind angle without forcing the wing out of the water. It will also allow the kiter to maintain a steady heading through larger ocean chop / waves.
ASSAULT 'SHORT MAST' OFFER:
With all complete foil purchases, we offer a 'short' mast loan service for FREE. This allows you to jump start your learning process. Its super simple to swap back your mast for your long term option once you have acquired the basic skills. Contact us to arrange.
FUSELAGE
The Armstrong Hex Fuselage is a ground breaking work of art in terms of engineering and design. The fuselage has a solid titanium core running throughout its length.
The core is then shrouded in 5mm solid wall carbon tube. The multi wing hex fitting for the mast and front wing gives 360 degree surface contact, maximizing the load distributing area.
The new TC A+System Fuselage connection is taking compatibility, strength and durability into the future.
The shorter the fuselage the less stable the foil becomes and turns become faster and tighter. The fuselage options are:
- TC50 - The TC50 allows huge maneuverability and is suited to surf rippers and advanced Kiters.
- TC60 - The TC60 is the perfect blend of maneuverability and stability, ideal for confident riders of all disciplines.
- TC70 (standard provided) - The TC70 is our most popular fuselage for rookies and intermediate riders because it is smooth and forgiving.
If you require a fuselage other than standard please Contact us for custom package orders.
