Armstrong MA MK II
Introducing The
Mid Aspect Mark II

It's been described like riding the freshest Japanese powder on a bluebird day, or a hot knife through butter - a foiling experience like no other. The evolution of the Mid Aspect front foil takes your flow to the next level by combining ultra forgiving pitch stability, an incredibly broad speed range, and seamless rail to rail carving. Whether it's winging or surfing, draw your line with the MA Mk II.

Chord Length
Rock solid stability.

The MA Mk II gives you total control for winging and surf foiling progression. For intermediates, the MA Mk II is more forgiving than the HA with its rock-solid stability and consistent lift that will boost your confidence and ability to tackle powered conditions. Advanced riders benefit from how stable the MA Mk II is when landing maneuvers or pushing hard in critical conditions.

Foil Section
Amazing speed range.

This foil section has evolved to deliver a greatly lowered takeoff speed on par with the HA while maintaining a top speed capability similar to the first generation MA, all while recovering instantly from breaches. This makes the MA Mk II ready for everything from winging to prone and tow surfing.

Narrow Span
Seamless roll feel.

The narrower span of the mid aspect outline gives the MA Mk II a quick, seamless roll rate and super fluid carving feel. All sizes are 8.0 AR oriented at carving at higher speeds with increased pump and glide that’s perfect for surfing and a dream when carving.


Progress Without Limits

Incredible pitch stability

The MA Mk II gives you total control for winging and surf foiling progression. If you're already riding an HA foil, the MA Mk Il will feel more forgiving with its rock solid stability and consistent lift that will boost your confidence and ability to tackle powered conditions. Advanced riders - including 2x GWA Wave World Champion Cash Berzolla - appreciate just how stable the MA Mk Il is when landing maneuvers or pushing hard in critical conditions.


Draw your line

Increased speed range

At the core of this foil lies the new foil section shape that delivers a massive speed range. It's evolved to deliver a greatly lowered takeoff speed on par with the HA while maintaining a top speed capability similar to the first generation MA. The speed range across sizes makes the MA Mk Il ready for everything from winging to prone and tow surfing. Like the original MA, the foil section in the Mk II recovers instantly from breaches so you can draw your line without hesitation.


Dream Carving Machine

Narrower span for a seamless roll feel.

The narrower span of the mid aspect outline increases carving speed for a given area compared to a high aspect foil, giving the MA Mk Il a quick, seamless roll rate and super fluid carving feel. All sizes are 8.0 AR oriented at carving at higher speeds with increased pump and glide that's perfect for surfing. Whether it's winging or foil surfing, the MA Mk Il is a dream to lay into a turn.


MA MKII Construction
Top Tier Construction

Performance and durability

Foils experience extreme torsional and bending loads, which is why we've crafted the MA Mk Il from premium pre-preg Toray high modulus carbon fiber. It results in an ultra strong, stiff, and lightweight foil that performs exceptionally. When combined with our industry-leading manufacturing quality, the consistency of this material and construction choice makes for the very best in performance and durability.

Fantastic for Kite Foiling

The 690 has been my go-to for kite foiling lately. I used to ride the 780 HA with the speed 180 tail and it was fine. But I tried the 790, 690, and 590 and haven’t touched any of the HA foils since. The new MA foils have a much lower take off and stall speed than the previous generation of MA foils which doesn’t matter quite as much for kite foiling but is still nice and makes them fun to wing in lighter conditions. The high end is where the MA foils really shine though. I have tried my best to find the top end limit of the 690 and 590 and so far, on flat water, I haven’t even come close. These things just lock in no matter how much speed and power to put into them. Very stable, don’t feel like they want to jump out of the water on you, just fantastic at speed. Turning performance and recovery is great. You can aerate almost an entire half of the wing and it won’t stall. The HA foils still have much better pump and glide as well as a lower take off and stall speed (size for size). The 690 has (literally) taken my kite foiling to new heights.

MA-MK II Front Wings + FOIL Drive = Heaven

My title above says it all!
I've been riding the 1190, 990 and 890 on my FOIL Drive and have been having the time of my life! It feels like the two systems were meant to be together. From knee high bumps to head high waves the stability and turnability of these foils is unmatched! Because of the great pitch stability I find myself riding higher on the mast which in turn makes the whole flight more efficient!

Nice Front Wing

I really enjoy riding the MA 1190 in a wide range of conditions across multiple disciplines . I prone surf it, kite it, and wing it. I am 6'-1 and 165lbs and find that the 1190 works for me across a wide range of wind speed and wave size.

490 Impressive Low End

Focusing on big air kitefoil, I demoed the MA490 MKII with hopes of scoring lots of power for huge airs and loops. The conditions I was given had different intentions... Regardless, the MA490 provided amazing low end performance as I foiled 13mph on an 8m at 160lbs. I'm really excited to add this foil into my quiver knowing I'll be able to enjoy all of the cruisey, flowy lightwind sessions while being on the same equipment I can hold down in 25+.

Mid Aspect - High Performance

I kitefoiled the MA590MKII in 22mph on an 8m at 160lbs and this thing RIPS. This foil holds down and remain stable even under lots of power and speed. Afraid of breaking a foil doing airs? This foil kept together after many hard landings on kitefoil kiteloops. The Armstrong gear is nuke proof.
