Description

Our Performance Series represents the pinnacle of Armstrong foiling equipment. Created to push boundaries in design process and material selection, these products invite advanced riders on a truly next-level riding experience.

As the name suggests - our Aero Glide is made to glide for long distances effortlessly. Our four smaller sizes from the fast and agile 725 to the larger 1305 were introduced in spring 2023 with an incredible response for their mix of accessible glide performance, control and maneuverability. All these wings come in aspect ratio around 9.5. With emphasis on efficiency, speed and low drag these wings like to be ridden with a slightly more active riding style that suits the level of intermediate to advanced riders. Once on flight mode, the Aero Glide wings are very intuitive to ride thanks to their predictable behavior.

For 2024 we’re adding two large siblings to the family of the Aero Glide, the 130cm wide 1595 with an AR of 10.6 and the pumping oriented 2145, with a span of 143cm and AR of 9.6.

The 1595 is the perfect match for everyone getting into downwinders. This wing will help you getting up and connect even the smallest bumps, due to its insane glide. The 1595 still has the same fast and low drag profile and overall character of the smaller Glide wings and works great for light wind winging and pumping.

As a pure dock-starter wing we’ve developed the 2145 with a thicker profile and its own outline, with very low stall speed for the easiest possible dock starts and pumping experience in flatwater conditions for any level of rider.

Our mast/fuselage setup is known to be one of the strongest systems in the market and we’re proud to take this stable and predictable behavior into wings with such wide spans.

All Glide wings are complemented by our high-performance Stabilizer P in 165, 180, 200 and the new 220 for the largest additions of the Glide range.

Whether you're into downwind runs, pumping, connecting waves when prone foiling or just like a fast and effortless sensation with low drag and high efficiency, when winging or Windsurf Foiling - you should have a go on the Aero Glide.

Description

Description

Ultimate efficiency in generating release from the water and control when on foil. Semi displacement chined /double concave nose allows the sink/ cork action but still maintains a long flat for aiding lift/ and frictionless touchdowns.

Narrow under waterline allows the corking take-off to come into effect but maintains balance with the area in the deck above the waterline.

In terms of lines, there’s nothing that looks this sleek, with performance to match its looks.
