Armstrong the brand… We are a small group of friends from diverse professional backgrounds that believed in and wanted to support Armie's vision. We are passionate watermen ourselves that surf, kite, sup, wakeboard, tow surf, wing foil and windsurf. With a united goal the Armstrong brand was born, that goal was to develop a top of the line foil set up that we could easily use for all the foil sports we love. Armstrong, you can feel the difference... Our products are the result of an authentic connection between Armie the designer being a rider who is constantly testing, tweaking, refining looking for that sublime feeling.... Armie Armstrong the man behind the feeling… A unique pedigree, From sailing, kayaking, surfing, kite boarding, SUP-surfing, SUP-racing he pushed himself to excel Designing above and beyond. An Armstrong design is a no compromise design. Through better engineering, perfect material selection, attention to detail in every aspect and meticulous manufacturing, each product is simply the best money can buy and will last longer and perform perfectly throughout its life. Realising this was a complex and detailed design challenge, Armie enlisted talented and diverse design expertise from a range of highly respected individuals. Firstly his father David Armstrong, a standout NZ architect for over half a century and lifelong global sailor and adventurer with a wealth of real world experience, helped turn initial concepts into working drawings with material selection and critical dimensions. Jim Moore, legendary foil maker and boat builder (veteran Team New Zealand America's Cup wing building campaigns). Jim offered seasoned advice, defining complex construction details, material selection and layups, including our masts' unique Quad-C-Beam core layup. Finally Rob Whittall - Aerofoil designer and good friend- with a lifetime of tweaking foil sections for hang-gliders, para-gliders and kites, provided pivotal input on the most stable foil sections.
