Armstrong Downwind Performance-Front Wing

The first foils in the Armstrong Performance Series, the Downwind Performance range was specifically developed to race in the SUP downwind division across Hawaii’s interisland channels. Already a proven 2023 Molokai2Oahu World Championship podium-finisher under the feet of team rider Oskar Johansson, the DW Performance range is tailored for expert level SUP downwind aficionados seeking next level freedom in open water.

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.
