The Armstrong Downwind Foil Boards have evolved the downwinder concept with lessons learned from the 2023 series. These boards are faster, more refined, and even more stable, suitable for riders of all levels. They are versatile, ideal for lightwind winging and SUP surf foiling. An emphasis has been placed on efficiency and user friendliness, with each size being lengthened by 3.5-5%, resulting in improved paddling speed and stability.
Additionally, the foil tracks have been moved forward for increased maneuverability and lift. The rocker line and overall shape of the board have also been subtly refined for a clean and effortless lift off the water.
Inspired by the new deck grip design found on our Wing FG foilboards, the Downwind and Downwind Performance boards feature a revamped, rider-specific grip for maximum control, comfort, and versatility during downwinding. The grip has raised central bars above the foil tracks and elevated blocks in each corner for intuitive foot placement.
Features
Increased length
Greater paddling speed with improved stability and tracking for easier paddling.

Inspired by our Wing FG boards, the split anhedral foredeck shape sheds water with ease.
Refined bow
Improved paddling efficiency and touchdown recovery and reduced swing weight for pumping and carving.

A flatter deck to hold more volume and shed standing water more quickly.
New deck grip
Like on our Wing FG board range, raised deck grip arch bars and front/rear corner blocks provide intuitive foot placement references.
Diamond V tail
All new tail shape with significantly more rocker and an extra chine to improve takeoff performance and minimise tail touchdowns when pumping and carving.
Foil track placement
Pushed further forward for increased lift and manoeuvrability.
Carbon foil tracks
Proprietary carbon fibre foil tracks are keyed directly into the fibres of the stringers for a fully integrated construction.
Proven Construction
Deck to bottom i-beam dual stringers provide maximum structural rigidity and durability.
