The essence of foiling.
Building on the legacy of our first HA (high aspect) foils initially released in 2021, the all-new HA range offers an unprecedented combination of rippability, easy pumping and endless glide that expands the potential of intermediate to expert surf, downwind and wing foilers. Seven sizes - 580, 680, 780, 880, 980, 1080, 1180cm2 - deliver a full quiver of options. The new HA range is the essence of foiling.

Standout Performance
Best of both worlds.

A newly developed section shape, outline and profile give the HA range a remarkable “best of both worlds” ability to carve beautiful lines and easily stay high in the pumping power zone for maximum wave riding potential. The foil section is adjusted incrementally at points across the wingspan (evolutive section shape) to provide a big boost to gliding efficiency and consistent lift at various bank angles and flight speeds. For those already riding the previous generation Armstrong HA range, we recommend downsizing one foil size, for example: from the older HA925, move to the new HA880 to maintain familiar pumpability with a substantial overall performance increase.

Features

• High aspect ratio - Aspect ratio (AR) 9.63-9.8 across the sizes
• Broad size range - Seven sizes from 580 to 1180cm2 for intermediate through expert surf, downwind and wing foilers.
• Evolutive section shape - The section shape is tweaked at various stations across the span for hyper-optimised water flow.
• Flat profile - Enables responsive turning in carves, even at wider wingspans.
• Toray carbon fibre - Built from premium Toray high and intermediate modulus carbon fibre for exceptional stiffness and light weight.
• A+ System - Our proprietary connection system offers industry-leading strength, durability and modularity.

Performance Pedigree
Meticulously engineered to push your fun on the water.

The HA range benefits from two years’ worth of research with a leading CFD team. These foils turn beautifully and their section is optimised to stay with the wave, allowing smooth flowing connections between swell lines. Excellent lift means riders can drop down one full size from their previous HA foils for improved carving and speed range while maintaining an easy low end.

Top-tier construction
Built for progression

High aspect foils experience extreme torsional forces in the water, especially when carving. We’ve crafted the HA range from premium Toray high and intermediate modulus carbon fibre for an ultra strong, stiff and lightweight foil that performs exceptionally under the feet of intermediate to expert riders. The consistency of this layup when combined with our industry-leading manufacturing quality provides the best in performance and durability.

MASTS - PERFORMANCE V3:

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.
• 795mm - Ideally balanced performance for wing, prone surf, SUP surf and downwind. 
• 865mm - The do-it-all length for wing, SUP surf, tow surf, kite, high wind downwind and prone surf.
• 935mm - The advanced rider's choice for wing, tow surf and kite foiling.
• 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, maximising 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 (provided as standard) - The TC60 is the perfect blend of maneuverability and stability, ideal for intermediate riders and up!
• TC70 - The TC70 is our most popular fuselage for rookies and intermediate riders because it is smooth and forgiving.

TAIL WINGS

The following rear wings are all recommended with the HA front wings:

• HA 195 (default provided - see details below) - The new HA195 tail Foil is sleek, elegant, and fast! See details below.
• SURF 205  - The Surf 205 is a highly manoeuvrable stabiliser that enables tight and critical turns in the pocket.
• FLOW 235 - The Flow 235’s name says it all! It’s smooth and predictable, inspiring your confidence and flow. 
• DART 140  - Lightning fast response with minimal drag for high speeds, this is the tail of choice for advanced to expert wing, surf, tow and kite foilers in powered conditions.
• SPEED 180 - The 180 Speed offers greater efficiency and top end of intermediate through advanced wing, surf and downwind foilers
• GLIDE 220 -  Stabiliser of choice when seeking the greatest glide and pump over long distances.

Please contact us if your preferred tail wing is available in the package selector. For information on other rear wings please refer to our 'Foil Components' category, or enquire with our team.

HA195 TAIL WING:

THE NEW HA195 TAIL WING IS SLEEK, ELEGANT, AND FAST! IT’S BEEN DESIGNED TO UNLOCK EVERY DROP OF PERFORMANCE AND HANDLING POTENTIAL FROM OUR HA FRONT WINGS.

This new design is cutting edge in terms of aspect ratio, thickness and anhedral. Combined with our HA wings the result is a smoother faster flowing ride with more speed, glide and precise handling! This effectively further increases the already outstanding performance and manoeuvrabilityof the HA foils.

The feedback from our team riders has been solid, plenty of frothing over the feel and performance increase the HA195 delivers.

The HA195 pairs perfectly with our HA foils but also improves top end performance of the CF and HS foil range too.

CONSTRUCTION

• The tail wing has a foam core wrapped in the highest quality Carbon keeping it light and super rigid.
• The Titanium screw inserts are in keeping with our philosophy of zero corrosion materials throughout the entire product range.
• The unique flow fences improve stability by minimizing the disruption of turbulent flow from the front wing, mast and fuselage.
