Armstrong MA MKII Front Foil

The Midlength FG is not just a board, but a mindset. It's the unconventional concept that in a world of endless choices, sometimes less is more exciting. With a size that fits perfectly between our Prone, Wing, and Downwind boards, the Midlength can save your session on those small or light wind days. Its smooth glide and easy release make it a go-to for paddle power and getting up on the foil. And with a perfect ratio of dimensions and volume, you don't have to be a pro to enjoy optimal stability, maneuverability, and glide. The choice is yours - define your ride.

Taking what we learned from the Downwind boards initially introduced in 2023, the evolution of these boards is faster, more refined and even more stable per size for riders from rookie through advanced. Like the previous generation, these boards are also terrifically versatile and are excellent for lightwind winging and SUP surf foiling.

Seeking greater efficiency and user friendliness in the paddle popup, each size has been lengthened by 3.5-5% to improve paddling speed and increase stability. The foil tracks are now further forward as well for increased manoeuvrability and lift. When combined with subtle refinements to the rocker line and overall shape of the tail, these boards lift off the water exceptionally cleanly and easily.

Inspired by the new deck grip design on our Wing FG foilboards, the Downwind and Downwind Performance boards include a fully redesigned grip tailored specifically to provide riders with maximum control, comfort and versatility when downwinding. In conjunction with the flatter deck shape, this grip features raised central bars above the foil tracks and elevated blocks in each corner of the pad, front and back, for intuitive foot placement.

• Increased length: Greater paddling speed with improved stability and tracking for easier paddling.
• Split foredeck: Inspired by our Wing FG boards, the split anhedral foredeck shape sheds water with ease.
• Refined bow: Improved paddling efficiency and touchdown recovery and reduced swing weight for pumping and carving.
• Minimal deck recess: A flatter deck to hold more volume and shed standing water more quickly.
• New deck grip: Like on our Wing FG board range, raised deck grip arch bars and front/rear corner blocks provide intuitive foot placement references.
• Diamond V tail: All new tail shape with significantly more rocker and an extra chine to improve takeoff performance and minimise tail touchdowns when pumping and carving.
• Foil track placement: Pushed further forward for increased lift and manoeuvrability.
• Carbon foil tracks: Proprietary carbon fibre foil tracks are keyed directly into the fibres of the stringers for a fully integrated construction.
• Proven construction: Deck to bottom i-beam dual stringers provide maximum structural rigidity and durability.

• Advancing the design of the origiinal Flying V, making it a bit wider and more compact Jimmy designed the Flying V2 to be stable on the water while beeing agile and light on foil. Based on its trades the board is well suited for the SUP- and Wing Foiler.

  The proven waterplane bottom is pulled all the way back to the foil base and provides easy liftoff and touch down while maintaining stability during the launch phase. Like the Flying VM these boards re-direct the rider back up onto the foil with little drag when they touch down and give an easy and fast take off.

• Boards are made either in the JL Signature Sandwich Construction or the Carbon Sandwich Construction and are delivered including 2 Footstraps.

The R series are offered in two larger sizes as well now, the 960R and the 1075R. They are both an incredible addition to any foiler’s quiver, set to be very well received by learners for their user-friendly nature. For the experienced rider, these bigger foils enable foiling in almost windless conditions, leveraging even minimal ocean energy for remarkable rides.

• The High Modulus R Series are made with High Modulus carbon and are of the build quality users will be familiar with from other Code Foils products.
• These wings are designed for a wide speed range and efficient pumping. They are not as manoeuvrable as some other wings, but they glide forever and still turn. We call them our “longboard foils” because of their long, stable design.
• The R Series High Modulus have an incredible low end for their size. James Casey demonstrated this by winning the M2O with a flatwater start and a challenging finish in upwind conditions. Ben Tardrew also used the 860R to battle for a win and end up on the podium in a nearly windless Hood River challenge against the best in the world.
• Please note that the R series front wings are not designed to be jumped. Jumping the R Series front wings will void warranty.
• The larger 960 and 1075 offer enhanced performance for lighter wind conditions and serve as a gateway for those learning downwind foiling and linking bumps

These high-aspect-ratio tails mark our first expansion of rear wings in our range. James used the 120R in the M20 to secure victory. They offer incredible glide when paired with both the S and R series front wing. Despite their small area, the aspect ratio delivers exceptional efficiency and performance.
