BOARD: Armstrong Foils FG Forward Geometry Prone Wing Foil Board All Sizes
About The Armstrong Foils Forward Geometry Wing Surf Board
Armstrong's new and innovative “Forward Geometry” Wing Surf Board design highlights the drive and passion they have to always be improving and maximizing the potential of every ride. The logic behind Forward Geometry is all about the mast track position in relation to the center of the board. The further forward the mast can go the better, it improves maneuverability, response and dramatically reduces the rotational swing weight effect. Combine this with state-of-the-art 320mm Carbon fiber A+System Mast Tracks and you have maximum potential to get your board and foils geometry working for you.
Without question, shorter boards offer superior maneuverability, feel and control once on the fly but getting them there is not so easy. Until now that is, as boards get shorter it becomes important to maximize stability and hull speed when still attached to the water. The new Forward Geometry shapes from Armstrong have addressed this issue with a beautiful innovative approach enabling everyone to take advantage of the benefits of riding shorter boards.
From beginner to hero, the FG boards deliver a level of speed, stability and unrivaled handling performance that transcends what’s available today. Bold claims you might think, but Armstrong guarantee that you will feel and understand the difference once you ride one.
This Board is Ideal For
- Prone surf foiling
- Small board winging
- Kite and wake foiling
Board Construction
- Forward geometry: The new A+System Mast Tracks are positioned well forward in the board to reduce rotational swing weight which radically improves handling and response
- High-strength carbon fibre A+System mast tracks: Plastic simply does not do the job well enough, so Armstrong designed their own 320mm Carbon Fiber mast tracks
- Recessed deck: This brings you closer to the mast top for direct handling and feel
- Extended waterline profile view: Speed is the key, so the boards' waterline is used to help accelerate the board forward
- Chisel-nose outline: Offers stability on the water and helps push the water under the board rather than splitting it around the board
- Aggressive nose rocker: Straight into an accentuated double concave to flat! This is all about bringing the nose up quickly to accelerate the water down the double concave to flat bottom at the tail
- Innovative tail shape: For better acceleration, less drag at the rear waterline release area, it looks faster because it is
- Accentuated chines: As the board picks up speed and the foil starts to lift, the contact area reduces, making for a smooth transition from on the water to foiling and also seamless touchdowns as the board does not grab as it touches the water’s surface
Sizes Available
- 4’0"(27 litres)

The Alloy System
The Alloy System was designed to enable riders of all skill levels to chase endless experiences on the water. Its modularity, broad performance range and exceptional build quality empowers riders of all levels to progress without limits.
Modularity is core to the Alloy System design. It’s fully compatible with all our front foils and stabilisers so you as your riding evolves, so can your setup. Building on the knowledge and technology that led to our industry-leading carbon Performance Mast, the AA mast shape and structure are optimised from top to bottom for an excellent balance of efficiency and strength. This approach to design and attention to detail is exemplified in the Alloy System’s specially machined mast top and SailGP-inspired bottom bracket that are crafted from aerospace-grade aluminium alloys.
The system is outfitted exclusively with premium titanium and surgical stainless hardware for a light and highly corrosion resistant setup that’s durable over time. Industry-leading manufacturing tolerances make for a high performance, beautiful fit and finish overall.

HA FOIL: Armstrong Foils HA Foil Range (2023 Model)
The essence of foiling.
Building on the legacy of our first HA (high aspect) foils initially released in 2021, the 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
- 9.63-9.8 AR across the range of sizes
- Broad size range
- Seven sizes from 580 to 1180 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 across the wing.
- 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 in the hydrofoil sailboat world. 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.
Sizes - 580, 680, 780, 880, 980, 1080, 1180
