Armstrong 'S1' Series Front Wings
Are you at Step 1 in your foil journey? Then the Armstrong S1 {Step 1} foil kit is for you.
The S1 Foil Kit in short...
+ Price accessible
+ Easy-to-use and maintain
+ Compatible with custom titanium hardware
+ Fully upwards compatible with the Armstrong range for endless foiling experiences down the road
The Armstrong Alloy System brings the brand's exceptional design and manufacturing to price-accessible material, which remains full compatible with all their foil ranges.
The S1 Foils deliver remarkable stability, ultra low flying speed and an instantly intuitive feel to make the first step into foiling as accessible and approachable as possible. 1250, 1550, 1850 and 2450cm squared sizes and a dedicated 300cm squared stabiliser cater to a wide range of rider sizes and foil sports.
When the Alloy System and S1 Foils are combined, the result is the ultimate pathway for more people to experience foiling.
Redefining how we learn to foil, the Setup 1 {S1} foil range delivers remarkable stability, ultra low flying speed and an instantly intuitive feel to make the first step into foiling as accessible and forgiving as possible. Pitch, roll and yaw stability are critical to success when building foiling skills. The S1 design achieves a near autopilot-like level of predictability thanks to a combination of leading and trailing edge sweep, chors length and foil section geometry. The result is an ultra easy platform for first time flyers to learn any foiling discipline.
The S1 foils fly at a remarkably low speed with a high degree of controllability so that riders can practise manoeuvres with less risk and a lower learning curve. When overpowered, the foil reduces breaching with a tendency to fly itself back down when approaching the surface. Because these foils handle speed and ventilation so well, riders can enjoy an exceptionally broad usable speed range in each size. Downturned wingtips provide an extra element of safety.
Built to the same tolerances as our other foils, the S1 range is constructed from carbon compsites which provide an excellent strength to weight ratio.
