Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces Armstrong's innovative 'Forward Geometry' design for Wing Surf and Wing SUP boards, emphasizing improved maneuverability, response, and reduced rotational swing weight through advanced mast track positioning.

Forward Geometry Concept
The Forward Geometry focuses on positioning the mast track further forward on the board, enhancing handling and response. This design is complemented by 320mm Carbon Fiber A+System Mast Tracks, which maximize the board's and foil's geometry.

Key Features
  • High Strength Custom Carbon Fiber A+System Mast Tracks: Designed to outperform plastic, these tracks enhance durability and performance.
  • Recessed Deck: Provides closer proximity to the mast top for improved handling and feel.
  • Extended Waterline Profile: Utilizes the full waterline for increased speed and acceleration.
  • Aggressive Nose Rocker and Double Concave to Flat Design: Facilitates quick nose lift and efficient water flow for acceleration.
  • Innovative Tail Shape: Reduces drag and enhances acceleration at the rear waterline release area.
  • Accentuated Chines: Ensures smooth transitions from water to foiling and seamless touchdowns.

Materials and Construction
The boards are constructed with lightweight yet strong materials, including a foam core with PVC reinforcements, Dual Carbon stingers, and a Carbon fiber and Dyneema cloth covering.

Available Sizes
The Forward Geometry boards are available in various sizes, ranging from 4’0” to 6’4”, catering to different rider preferences and conditions.

Conclusion
Armstrong's Forward Geometry boards are designed to offer superior maneuverability, control, and speed, making them a significant innovation in the water sports equipment sector.

The logic The logic behind Forward Geometry is all about the mast track position in relation to the center of the board. The further forward the mast can go the better, it improves maneuverability, response and dramatically reduces the rotational swing weight effect. Combine this with state-of-the-art 320mm Carbon fiber A+System Mast Tracks and you have maximum potential to get your board and foils geometry working for you!

superior feel and control Without question, shorter boards offer superior maneuverability, feel and control once on the fly but getting them there is not so easy. Until now that is, as boards get shorter it becomes important to maximise stability and hull speed when still attached to the water. The new Forward Geometry shapes from Armstrong have addressed this issue with a beautiful innovative approach enabling everyone to take advantage of the benefits riding shorter boards.

Accentuated chines As the board picks up speed and the foil starts to lift, the contact area reduces, making for a smooth transition from on the water to foiling and also seamless touchdowns as the board does not grab as it touches the water’s surface.
