The Armstrong High Aspect (HA) front wing delivers a best-of-both-worlds feel, combining endless glide, easy pumping, and strong low-speed lift with smooth flow through turns.
Designed to boost your potential across surf foiling, wing foiling, and downwind foiling, the HA series gives riders the efficiency to cover distance while still maintaining the maneuverability needed to link turns and stay connected to the wave or swell.
To make a complete package you must add a minimum of one front wing, one mast, one fuselage, one tail wing.
The Armstrong HA Foil Kit is built for riders who want the perfect balance of rippability, easy pumping, and endless glide. The High Aspect front foil range delivers impressive low-speed lift, smooth flow through turns, strong glide, and excellent stability at speed, making it a standout choice for surf foiling, wing foiling, and downwind foiling.
Designed for intermediate to expert riders, the HA range gives you the efficiency of a high aspect foil without losing the fun, connected, surfy feel that Armstrong is known for. Whether you are linking waves, pumping between sections, winging in varied conditions, or chasing bumps downwind, the HA foil is made to keep you flying longer with more control and speed.
Building on the legacy of Armstrong’s original HA range, the updated HA front foils offer a refined combination of glide, pumpability, lift, speed, and maneuverability. The range includes seven sizes — 580, 680, 780, 880, 980, 1080, and 1180 cm² — giving riders a full quiver of options depending on weight, conditions, discipline, and riding style.
The HA range was developed to give riders the best of both worlds: efficient high aspect glide with the ability to carve clean lines and stay connected through turns. A refined section shape, outline, rondure, and profile help the foil stay high in the pumping power zone while still feeling responsive and controlled.
The evolutive section shape is adjusted across the wingspan to optimize water flow, increase gliding efficiency, and maintain consistent lift at different bank angles and flight speeds. This allows the HA to pump efficiently, glide easily, and still turn better than many traditional high aspect designs.
For riders coming from the previous Armstrong HA generation, Armstrong recommends sizing down one foil size. For example, if you previously rode the HA925, the updated HA880 will offer familiar pumpability with a noticeable increase in overall performance, speed, and carving ability.
The HA is a versatile front foil that performs across multiple disciplines. It has the glide and efficiency needed for downwind foiling, the low-end lift and range needed for wing foiling, and the maneuverability and flow needed for surf foiling.
Excellent lift allows many riders to ride a smaller size than expected, improving turning, speed range, and overall control while still maintaining an easy low end.
High aspect foils experience strong torsional forces in the water, especially during carving and high-speed riding. Armstrong builds the HA range with premium Toray high and intermediate modulus carbon fiber for a stiff, lightweight, and durable front foil that performs exceptionally under load.
Combined with Armstrong’s high-quality manufacturing standards and A+ connection system, the HA range delivers excellent strength, durability, stiffness, and modularity for serious foilers.
The HA’s foil section is designed to create impressive low-end lift for its size. This means you can often ride a smaller, faster, and more maneuverable front foil in a wider range of conditions. The result is more time flying, less time switching gear, and a more fun overall ride.
The trailing edge reflex gives the HA front foil excellent pitch stability for a high aspect design. This adds control at higher speeds and through aggressive maneuvers, helping progressing riders build confidence while allowing advanced riders to to push harder.
The Armstrong HA Foil Kit is a great choice for intermediate to expert riders looking for a versatile high aspect setup for wing foiling, surf foiling, prone foiling, downwind foiling, and Foil Drive use. If you want efficient glide, easy pumping, strong lift, and better turning than a traditional high aspect foil, the HA range is one of Armstrong’s most well-rounded performance options.
This foil is designed for intermediate to expert riders who want the efficiency of a high aspect foil without giving up a responsive, surfy feel through turns.
Available HA front foil sizes include HA580, HA680, HA780, HA880, HA980, HA1080, and HA1180. Smaller sizes are typically better for speed and maneuverability, while larger sizes offer more lift and easier glide for lighter wind, smaller waves, or heavier riders.
Yes. The HA range works well for wing foiling because it offers strong glide, low-end lift, stability at speed, and efficient pumping, making it useful in varied wind and water conditions.
Yes. The HA foil is built to link waves, pump between sections, and carve with control, making it a strong option for surf foiling and prone foiling.
Yes. The high aspect design is made for efficient glide and distance coverage, which makes it well suited for downwind foiling and chasing bumps.
The best size depends on your weight, skill level, riding style, and conditions. Go larger if you want more lift and easier takeoff; go smaller if you want more speed, tighter turns, and higher performance.
This product page lets you configure the setup with HA front foil sizes and optional Armstrong components such as Carbon MKII masts, Performance Mast MKII options, A+ TC fuselages, and Surf MKII stabilizer tail options.
The Armstrong HA is designed to combine high-aspect efficiency with a more connected, maneuverable feel. It delivers strong glide and pumpability while still feeling responsive through turns.
Yes. The HA range uses Armstrong’s A+ System, which is designed for strength, durability, stiffness, and modularity across compatible Armstrong foil components.
