A foil that not only extends your sessions but also transforms them. With a 12.6 aspect ratio, riders experience ultimate glide efficiency, incredibly low stall speed and the intuitive Armstrong turning feel that defines the brand. The UHA turns the ocean into one continuous playground, where every bump, every line and every section becomes part of an unbroken flow.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e12.6 Aspect Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith a 12.6 aspect ratio, the UHA is optimized for ultra-efficient glide and minimal drag.
