Armstrong Downwind Performance DWP Foils

Access ultimate speed

The product of cutting edge hydrodynamics and foil technology.

  • Project development began with collecting waveform and real world riding data from Hawaii’s interisland channels to set specific design parameters.
  • Leading fluid dynamics (CFD) resources helped optimise a foil shape that had extreme top end glide with accessible low end flight speeds for race starts in milder conditions.
  • The result is remarkably stable at high velocities.

“These foils have a speed range like nothing else I have ridden. They have a low enough stall speed for getting on foil, but then have an incredibly high top end that allows you to ride the fast open ocean swells. The foils also have a very neutral front and back foot pressure that doesn't change with different speeds, giving a comfortable feel at high speeds.” - Oskar Johansson, Armstrong team rider and 2023 Molokai2Oahu 2nd place finisher

Features

  • Maximum glide
    • Aspect ratio (AR) 13.0-13.55
  • Ultra-premium construction
    • Made from Toray intermediate and high modulus carbon fibre
  • Stable at speed
    • A thin section and subtle anhedral to dihedral shape becomes more pitch and roll stable at higher speeds without feeling locked in.
  • Evolutive section profile
    • The foil section is slightly different at each station across the foil span for maximum efficiency.

DWP685: The foil of choice for expert downwind SUP racers seeking the podium in powered conditions.
DWP755: A sublime combination of top end speed and glide.
DWP930: Superior glide for skilled paddlers in lighter conditions.
