Armstrong HA1080 Foil Kit A+ – High Aspect Performance for Advanced Foiling

The Armstrong HA1080 Foil Kit A+ is a premium high-aspect hydrofoil system engineered for riders seeking maximum glide, efficiency, and carving performance across wing foil, foil surfing, wingfoiling, wind foiling, wind foil, foiling, wingfoil, surf foils, foil surf, and surf foil disciplines. Designed with cutting-edge hydrodynamics and elite carbon construction, this foil kit delivers a perfect balance of speed, lift, and maneuverability for intermediate to expert riders.

High-Performance Design Built for Modern Foiling

Advanced High Aspect Shape for Speed and Glide

The HA1080 belongs to Armstrong’s renowned high-aspect (HA) foil range, designed to provide exceptional glide and efficiency. With a 1080 cm² surface area and a 1020 mm wingspan, it delivers long, smooth rides with minimal drag and maximum forward drive.

Its aspect ratio of 9.63 ensures a fast and efficient foil that excels in connecting waves, pumping over distance, and maintaining speed in light wind conditions—making it ideal for wing foiling and foil surfing.

Optimized Foil Section for Versatility

The HA1080 features an evolutive section shape, meaning the profile changes across the wingspan to optimize water flow and lift at different speeds and angles.

This results in:

• Consistent lift across various riding conditions
• Smooth transitions between turns
• Efficient pumping for extended glide

Whether you’re riding swell in foil surf mode or cruising with a wingfoil, this foil adapts seamlessly.

Standout Performance Across Foiling Disciplines

Perfect Balance of Glide, Pump, and Carving

Armstrong designed the HA range to deliver the “best of both worlds”—combining easy pumping with high-speed glide and responsive turning.

Key performance benefits include:

• Endless glide for downwind and open water runs
