Armstrong S1 | Beginner Foil Kit

The Armstrong S1 is a complete beginner foiling platform, built for riders taking their first flights in wing foiling or surf foiling. It's designed to be remarkably stable and forgiving, so newcomers can find their feet - and stay up - with minimal drama.

What makes it so easy to fly?

• Ultra low flying speed — get up and foiling sooner, without needing to be fast or fit
• Autopilot-like stability — predictable pitch, roll and yaw make the learning curve far less intimidating
• Swept leading and trailing edges — added stability so the foil settles rather than darts around
• Narrower span — reduces breaching (popping out of the water) as you find your balance
• Downturned wingtips — safer in a fall and more efficient through the water
• S1 300 stabiliser — tuned specifically for the learning phase
• Armstrong A+ System connection — a stiff, modular mast/fuselage interface that stays compatible if you upgrade into the wider Armstrong range later
• Aircraft-grade construction — 6061/7075 aluminium alloys with titanium and stainless steel hardware throughout

Sizing

The S1 front foil is available in four sizes - 1250, 1550, 1850 and 2450 - so you can match the foil to your weight and how much lift and stability you want while you're learning.

Rider verdict

If you're serious about learning to foil rather than fighting it, the S1 takes the guesswork out of those first sessions. It won't be the foil you're still riding once you're carving and pumping with confidence, but as a stepping stone into the sport it's hard to beat.
