Description

From Armstrong

From our new and innovative “Forward Geometry” Wing Surf and Wing Sup board designs, highlight the drive and passion we 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 maximise 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 riding shorter boards. The new Forward Geometry range of boards are packed full of innovation.

Features
  • Forward Geometry… Our 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 custom Carbon fiber A+System Mast Tracks… Plastic simply does not do the job well enough, so we designed our own 320mm Carbon Fiber mast tracks.
  • Recessed deck… This brings you closer to the mast top for direct handling and feel.
  • Through deck carry handle/water evacuation… Easy to carry top or bottom, the through board handle is also the water evacuation for the recessed deck.
  • Extended waterline profile view… Speed is the key, so we use all the boards waterline 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 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.
  • Stable Volume distribution… The recessed deck, wide Chisel nose and relatively rectangular outline means we can push the volume to the extremities, makes for a stable platform when on the water.
  • Light and strong… Lightweight is nothing without strength so we have chosen the best materials to keep the boards both light and strong. Foam core with multiple PVC reinforcements, Dual Carbon stingers, covered with Carbon fiber and Dyneema cloth.

6’4” 132 Liter is PERFECT for Learning!!

I have just over 28 sessions on the 6’4” 132L FG Wing SUP and I can’t say enough positive things about this board!
I had the chance to use this board during my lessons at REAL so when it was time to get my own gear and fly the coop I stuck with Armstrong.
I’m 5’11”, 190 and in my early 50’s. What the description says about these boards is exactly what I felt on the water while using it. The recessed deck was great for stability and the through deck handle made it easy to transport the board while also draining water. The accentuated chines really help you pop off the water nicely AND it also touches down nice and easy when learning your jibes and there were ALOT of those!
My advice would be don’t be to eager to drop down board sizes in the beginning of your foiling adventure. Stick with the higher volume board, get your jibes down and then downsize. I’m now riding the 105L Armstrong Wing FG and will do a review so check it out as well!
See you on the water!!
PS: the board bag is top notch!

Great beginner SUP foil board

I like it!

I've been using this board for the past couple of months, and I'm absolutely stoked about it! As a newcomer to winging, when I was learning water starts, I found the scalloped deck to be incredibly helpful in keeping my knees on the board. Other brands with flat decks are not as beginner-friendly.

As I've progressed in my skills, I've come to appreciate the bottom concave of the board. It allows the board to effortlessly pop off the water and skip if it makes contact while on the foil. Additionally, the forward tracks and the double-sided handle are fantastic features.

I can't wait to hit the water again with this board!

Great board - but treat it gently

Fantastic performing board but not as durable as my Naish Hover Carbon Ultra s26. Managed to put a small dent into the side of the board while it was in the bag because it was resting against on the pump during a 6 hour road trip... doesn't affect performance and there's no cracks, but a pity that even though i was already babying this board, I'm going to have to take even better care of it.

Really fun

Rode the 5-5 on flat water for a couple of sessions. Its very light for the size and the innovative handle through the deck lets you carry your rig from either side, which is really nice depending on how far you need to carry your board. I am 5-10 and 155 lbs, and paired this with the 1600 A+ front foil and found the setup to be butter smooth and quick to foil and turn. The water bounces off this hull and it glides up onto foil quickly. Riding upwind or cross wind works great and the hull is not effected by the wind. The deck is slightly recessed and it creates a better connection between rider and the foil, which helps with progression and maneuvers. Super un!
