Armstrong Stabilizers

Dart 120 – Stabilizer

Super maneuverability with minimal drag for max performance.
The Dart 120 is our most reactive, maneuverable, and low-drag stabilizer. Its concept was drawn up to take the Dart 140 a step further: quicker, looser, and faster to achieve the most radical surf foiling potential. The resulting Dart 120 design is effectively a Dart 140 with a decreased area, lowered aspect ratio, and shortened span. And yes, while the Dart 120 is made to rip in the surf, it also excels for advanced wingers and even downwind foilers with a sensitive touch looking to loosen their setups to the max.
Area: 120cm2
Span: 300mm
Aspect Ratio: 7.3

Dart 140 – Lightning fast response with top end speed.

The Dart 140 is our smallest stabiliser and offers all the performance characteristics you’d expect from such a small surface area. Lightning fast response with minimal drag for high speeds, this is the tail of choice for advanced to expert wing, surf, tow and kite foilers in powered conditions.

Speed 180 – Highly efficient.

Designed as the evolution of the HA195 stabiliser, the 180 Speed offers greater efficiency and top end of intermediate through advanced wing, surf and downwind foilers. Its high modulus carbon construction is extra stiff for instant pumping and carving response.

Surf 205 – Fast and responsive to unleash your inner shredder.

The 205 Surf is a highly manoeuvrable stabiliser that enables tight and critical turns in the pocket. This design is derived from the low aspect HS212 (chopped HS232) which dedicated surf foilers found to be the ticket for foil surfing. The 205 builds on that with refinements to the foil section, planform and thickness to unlock the most freedom on the wave.

• Derived from the HS212 (chopped 232)
• Developed in conjunction with the new MA foil range
• New section and thinner profile with more camber
• Lower aspect for surfing in the pocket
• Consistent pitch stability

Zippy Acceleration

The foil section is thin but with pronounced camber, decreasing drag while also improving lift, forward projection and acceleration. 

Consistent Pitch

Linear pitch characteristics throughout the full speed range even out front and back foot pressure, minimising lift spikes during acceleration and deceleration on the wave.

Broader Speed Range

A high camber section delivers the perfect blend of lift at low speeds to make getting onto foil easy, yet retains excellent controllability at high speeds.

Specifications:

Area: 205cm2
Span: 344mm
Aspect Ratio: 5.9

Glide 220 – Glide with effortless pumping.

Available in May

The Glide 220 is our stabiliser of choice when seeking the greatest glide and pump over long distances. It caters to intermediate through advanced riders pursuing lightwind winging, downwinding and flatwater pumping.

Flow 235 – It’s all in the name.

The 235 Flow’s name says it all! It’s smooth and predictable, inspiring your confidence and flow. Building on the much-loved HS232, this stabiliser adds a new section for consistent pitch stability, an increased projected aspect ratio and a refined planform to deliver an easy and free feeling ride. If you enjoy several foiling disciplines and want one stabiliser to cover them all, the Flow 235 is for you.

• Derived from the much-loved HS232 platform
• Developed in conjunction with the new MA foil range
• New section and thinner profile with more camber
• Higher projected aspect ratio for improved glide
• More responsive for pumping
• Consistent pitch stability
