The Surf Board

+ Dedicated to surf, tailored to rip +

Waves are a blank canvas, and the new Surf foil board is the refined tool of choice to draw your line. This 100% surf-dedicated shape is highly responsive and easy to paddle whether you're building skills or already a ripper. The outline is tuned to be stable under the chest when popping up, yet ready to lay into next-level carves and bash whitewater at will. Optimised to give you a direct connection to the foil, the Surf is thin per volume and built stiff to respond instantly under your feet. Six sizes from 3'11" {20L} to 4'11 {48L} take the next-gen foil surfing fun to riders across weights and skill levels.

From the shaping bay

Outline

The Surf is a ground-up fresh outline from Armstrong's prior surf-oriented boards. Its outline is surfboard inspired, particularly in the full nose where that extra foam boosts paddling comfort by supporting the chest. The rails gradually pull down into a squared off tail that provides ample width for quick foot placement in critical drops. The width in each size balances stability with rippability when on a rail for an outline that is user friendly yet thoroughly high-performance.

Rocker, Rails and Deck

The rocker line is generally flat with a slight kick in the nose for easy, efficient paddling. A flat deck and full rails provide a volume distribution throughout the board that enables reduced thickness on each size. being thin and stiff creates a much more direct sensation of the foil itself, boosting the rider's connection to the wave.

Bottom and Foil Tracks

This board was designed to be ridden on the water in line with the most progressive surf foiling style. Its subtle double concave to v-tail bottom contours promote efficient water flow and minimises friction on the water surface, benefitting learners and experts smashing the foam ball alike. Unlike the Forward Geometry boards, the Surf's carbon foil tracks are located more aft to achieve a balanced mast placement due to the shorter board length. 

More grip, more control

The Surf's deck grip is tailored specifically to provide maximum control and comfort to enable your style in the surf. Similar in feel to the deck grip on Armstrong's other boards, this design features unique micro-cutouts through the main section of the grip that are grippy enough to feel securely locked in for critical strapless manoeuvres but are still flat enough for easy foot repositioning throughout your ride. A full width kick pad at the rear sports extra traction and markings to indicate the foil track placement underneath. Holes in the deck grip facilitate easy access to footstrap screw inserts.

Proven Construction

Maximum structural rigidity creates a sublime feel underfoot.

The ultra stiff double skin PVC sandwich combines with Armstrong's reputed i-beam top to bottom dual stringers provides maximum structural rigidity and durability. Proprietary carbon fiber foil tracks are keyed directly into the string fibers for a fully integrated construction.
