Armstrong Downwind Foilboard.
Includes fully padded boardbag

Downwind SUP foiling is part of the Armstrong DNA. As a pioneer in the sport, Armie introduced downwind SUP foiling to the 2016 Gorge Paddle Challenge, 2017 Na Pali coast race and the 2018 Molokai2Oahu race with other early innovators of DW foiling. Their new DW board range combines this historical passion and motivation with their latest design knowledge.

Sleek lines, innovative volume distribution and state of the art construction help create a range of boards that are fast, stiff, light and easy to get on foil. Five sizes make sure that everyone who wants to sample the DW stoke is covered.

The speed of these DW boards combined with their high volumes also makes them exceptional for light wind winging, SUP surf foiling and prone downwinding.

FEATURES:

• High volume shape with a subtle deck recess for good feel and control while remaining easy to paddle.
• V nose to subtle double concave up to the foil boxes reduces drag on touch downs, and the pin tail acts like a fin for easy tracking when paddling.
• Round rails at front help accelerate the board into bumps.
• The shape of the bottom chines is inspired by the Performance mast foil section for efficient water release and zippy acceleration onto bumps.
• Length to width ratio is optimised across the range for glide when paddling without compromising stability.
• Stiff, lightweight carbon PVC innegra sandwich construction with industry leading double carbon sandwich stringer system for a direct connection to the foil.
• Proprietary custom carbon FG tracks for maximum strength, stiffness and durability.
