ARMSTRONG PUMP FOIL (AFP) RANGE

The new Armstrong Pump Foil (APF) range redefines pump foiling potential with its ultra-low stall speeds, incredible stability and high efficiency to take you further with less effort than ever.

• Easy to fly with ultra-low stall speeds
• Pitch stable to help build a natural pumping cadence
• Co-designed with aerospace engineer Chris Porter

Achieve maximum time on foil

If you’re just learning or already seasoned, a forgiving foil that helps keep you flying makes all the difference when building your pumping skills. The APF’s outline shape, straight leading edge and high camber foil section offer ultra low stall speeds, quick acceleration and a relaxed, efficient pumping cadence optimised for exploring flat water or cruising effortlessly on micro bumps.

Set up for rock solid stability

The APF delivers pitch stability in key phases of flight without completely sacrificing sensitivity and manoeuvrability for expert riders. The specially designed high camber Pump 202 stabiliser works in harmony with the APF to provide excellent pitch stability throughout the entire pump cycle. This solid feeling underfoot lets you focus on building your technique and developing efficiency to go further than ever before.

Designed with Chris Porter

Designed in collaboration with career aerospace engineer Chris Porter, the APF foil shares its DNA with his reputed Crisp 333 and 381 stabilisers. Our approach to finding gains across all areas of the foil design have led to a pump foil that’s truly designed from tip to tip for the discipline.

Avaialbe Sizes

• APF1675 - Ideal for riders under 90kg progressing from their first flights to more advanced pump foiling.
• AFP1880 - Next level glide for expert pump foilers under 90kg or progressing riders over 90kg. 

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.
• 720mm - The go to Foil Surf mast. An easy all rounder for all foil sports
• 850mm - The 'do everything mast' : Intermediate/Advanced. SUP, Downwind, Kite, Wake, and Tow in Surfing
• 100mm - This is the choice for experienced Kite, Tow in Surfing and big wave charging

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.
• 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, 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 (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 available with the APF front wings:

• PUMP 202 (provided as standard) - Cutting edge pumping performance to complement the APF front foil range.
• 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. 
• HA 195  - The new HA195 tail Foil is sleek, elegant, and fast!
• 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 prefer an alternative tail wing.

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.
