Performance, speed and glide have been taken to the next level with Armstrong foils’ High Aspect 925!

At 9.8:1 it’s a true Hight Aspect ratio foil wing that sets the standard for glide performance while retaining enough handling that it can be turned easily, making for an exhilarating ride in the surf.

In small to medium surf with an 85cm mast or longer, the HS925 is truly amazing; the turn radius and pitch stability are sublime.

The sleek inflected tips help prevent ventilation even if the tip breaches. Next level, pump and glide if you want to double-dip or link upswells; this wing keeps on going.

For experienced wingers, there is no comparison; it makes tacking so fun and easy as the speed and glide give you so much time to complete manoeuvres. Combine this with amazing upwind angles winging, freakish light wind performance; the riding never stops.

Downwind aficionados requiring max glide performance will want to get their hands on this wing simply because it is next level.

Developed with key design input from Pete Burling, Helmsman of Team New Zealand’s Americas Cup yacht (Current AC holders) and tested by legendary Sailor Jimmy Spithill.
