Armstrong Step One Foil Kit
Redefining how we learn to foil, the Step 1 (S1) foil range delivers remarkable stability, ultra low flying speed and an instantly intuitive feel to make the first step into foiling as accessible and forgiving as possible.
Pitch, roll and yaw stability are critical to success when building foiling skills. The S1 design achieves a near autopilot-like level of predictability thanks to a combination of leading and trailing edge sweep, chord length and foil section geometry. The result is an ultra easy platform for first time flyers to learn any foiling discipline.
The S1 foils fly at a remarkably low speed with a high degree of controllability so that riders can practise manoeuvres with less risk and a lower learning curve. When overpowered, the foil reduces breaching with a tendency to fly itself back down when approaching the surface. Because these foils handle speed and ventilation so well, riders can enjoy an exceptionally broad usable speed range in each size. Downturned wingtips provide an extra element of safety.
Built to the same tolerances as our other foils, the S1 range is constructed from carbon composites which provide an excellent strength to weight ratio.
Front Wing Options:
S1-1250: Span 848mm, Aspect Ratio 5.7
S1-1550: Span 905mm, Aspect Ratio 5.3
S1-1850: Span 965mm, Aspect Ratio 5.0
S1-2450: Span 1054mm, Aspect Ratio 4.8
Rear Wing:
S1-300: The S1 300 Tail Wing is the ultimate all rounder. It incorporates the perfect amount of anhedral shape in the center and dihedral at the tips for stability and smooth pitch control at all speeds and bank angles.
Fuselage:
AAF65: 65cm
Mast:
72cm/28.5": The go to Foil Surf mast. An easy all rounder for all foil sports
Polycarbonate Pro Shims:
For more advanced riders wanting faster, looser setups, we have new low profile Polycarbonate Pro Shims, allowing more than 5 angle settings at 0.5 degree increments, from –1 degree to + 1.5 degrees for the tweakers out there.
Available Sizes: 1250cm², 1550cm², 1850cm², 2450cm²
