Armstrong Midlength FG Wing Foil Board

Armstrong Midlength FG Wing Foil Board

Surf inspired in name and nature, the Armstrong Midlength FG Wing Foil Board combines shaping elements from the Wing FG, Downwind V2, and midlength surfboards to open up new possibilities for prone and wing foiling.

In a world hellbent on giving you so many choices that you can hardly pick what to take out for a session, doing more with less is an inspiring alternative. True to its surf-inspired name, the new Midlength board range truly redefines when and how you can go foiling. It’s the ace up your sleeve, the session saver, hell, it’s a fast-paddling, rippable flight time booster that’s your new superpower. It gives you the freedom to define how you ride. The choice is yours. 

Five sizes from 5’1" (45L) to 6’5" (85L).

From the shaping bay:

• Outline: A pointed but not overly sharp nose, gently tapering midsection and pulled in tail make for an efficient glider for prone paddling into either small or large surf. That glide translates remarkably well when winging, too – the Midlength is an amazing light wind machine that rockets off the water with nearly the ease of a Downwind board.
• Rocker and rails: Progressive rocker from the nose to the foil tracks keeps things lively in the pocket and makes touchdown recovery easier, and tail kick out the back makes for easy pumping and a clean release on launch. Soft rails up front progress into harder lines out the back for efficient flow and balanced on-water tracking and responsiveness. 
• Bottom: Pulling from the Downwind boards, a subtle double concave at the nose works its way flat at the foil tracks and finally into the diamond-V tail shape for a quick pop up and maximum recovery when touching down. If a board ever wanted to stay in the air, this would be it.

More grip, more control, more soul

Redefine your footwork. Like the deck grip on the Wing FG and DW foilboards, the Midlength's deck grip is tailored specifically to provide you with maximum control and comfort to enable your style across different foil sports. In conjunction with the Midlength's flat deck, the grip features raised arch bars above the foil tracks and elevated wedges in the rear of the pad for intuitive and unrestricted foot placement when carving across a wave face or getting creative with your foot placement when winging.

Proven construction

The ultra-stiff double skin carbon PVC sandwich combined 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 stringer fibers for a fully integrated construction.
