These highly anticipated foils offer an unprecedented combination of rippability, easy pumping and endless glide that expands the potential of intermediate to expert surf, downwind and wing foilers. Simply put, these foils embody the essence of foiling.
The HA range benefits from two years’ worth of research with a leading CFD team in the hydrofoil sailboat world. 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. Crafted from premium Toray high and intermediate modulus carbon fibre, the HA range is ultra strong, stiff and lightweight with aspect ratios from 9.63 to 9.8. 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 HA780 to maintain familiar pumpability with a substantial overall performance increase. Seven sizes - 580, 680, 780, 880, 980, 1080, 1180 cm² - deliver a full quiver of options.
The Armstrong HA is a true next generation foil. Lifting easy with an almost non-existing stall point, these foil are very playful and loose to roll, pumping well and never flinching at their top end. Their designed to be surfed and make progression easy.
Not the fastest foil, these are designed for riders who want to glide and cruise on bigger sizes, or crank turns in smaller sizes
The Ozone v2 parawing has been a significant upgrade
The Ozone v2 parawing has been a significant upgrade. Chris kindly lent me the 4.3 demo and it sealed the deal for me. Full delivery service I thought was a nice personal touch.
Upgraded my ally Armstrong mast and fuse after about a year
Upgraded my ally Armstrong mast and fuse after about a year. Chris initially advised to go with the ally as i hadnt foiled before and it might not be for me. As i live 200 miles away from where i surf it has been a slow progress. Recently purchased a carbon a+ fuse and integrated foil drive mast and the difference in feel was amazing. Great advice from Chris at Poseidon to keep chasing that foil high!
The Armstrong 140 dart is a great addition to my quiver
The Armstrong 140 dart is a great addition to my quiver, turns lovely, recovers well from ventilation and glides nicely, pumps well with a faster cadence.
Noticeably faster and more turny than my speed 180, a little more pitch sensitive but you soon get used to it and it's not hard to ride. Love it
I already have the 790 which I love so much, that I wanted a bigger one for lighter wind. I sill use my HA880 and 1180 for patchy days when I need more glide, but these MA's turn so well and the pitch stability makes everything effortless.
Great leash. My problem with standard coil leashes is that I catch them between the toes of my front foot on pop up or stand on it with my back foot. Neither of these issues occur with this leash, I barely notice I’m wearing it.
