Armstrong APF 1350 Front Foil
A new addition to the APF family
APF design DNA distilled into a smaller size.
The APF (Armstrong Pump Foil) foils have redefined pump foiling potential since their release last year.
The new APF 1350 fills the space between the APF 1675 and HA 1180. It’s ideal for lighter riders chasing
pump foiling or learning to downwind, or riders of any weight seeking the low-speed takeoff of the APF
but with more speed and glide than an APF 1675.
Best of both worlds
Ultra-low stall speed with the performance to glide at speed.
The APF 1350’s design DNA is rooted in what makes the APF foils so good at low speeds – a straight
leading edge and high camber foil section – and benefits from the latest research and design that went
into our HA foils. Like the larger APFs, the 1350 foil section gives it a very low stall speed with excellent
low speed controllability and predictability. The outer portion of the foil shares its section design with the
HA foils to achieve a greater average glide speed and efficiency.
Rock solid stability
Stable when you need it, responsive when you want it.
The APF 1350 delivers pitch stability in key phases of flight and a quick response to pitch inputs for zippy
acceleration when you want it. The specially designed Pump 202 stabiliser works in harmony with the
front foil to support flight speeds throughout the pump cycle. This solid feeling underfoot lets you focus
on building your technique and developing efficiency to go further than ever before.
World class design
When a foil mastermind and aerospace engineer combine.
Collaboratively designed by Armie Armstrong and engineer Chris Porter, the APF foils are the brainchild of
their collective foil knowledge and design prowess. Chris and Armie’s approach to innovating and
optimising all areas of the APF’s design have led to a pump foil that’s truly designed from tip to tip for
performance and user friendliness.
A+ System
The ultimate modular foil assembly system
APF 1675 – Ideal for riders under 90kg progressing from their first flights to more advanced pump foiling.
APF 1880 – Next level glide for expert pump foilers under 90kg or progressing riders over 90kg.
The new Armstrong Pump Foil (APF) range redefines pump foiling potential with its ultra-low stall speeds, incredible stability and high efficiency to take you further with less effort than ever.
- Easy to fly with ultra-low stall speeds
- Pitch stable to help build a natural pumping cadence
- Co-designed with aerospace engineer Chris Porter
Achieve maximum time on foil
If you’re just learning or already seasoned, a forgiving foil that helps keep you flying makes all the difference when building your pumping skills. The APF’s outline shape, straight leading edge and high camber foil section offer ultra low stall speeds, quick acceleration and a relaxed, efficient pumping cadence optimised for exploring flat water or cruising effortlessly on micro bumps.
Set up for rock solid stability
The APF delivers pitch stability in key phases of flight without completely sacrificing sensitivity and manoeuvrability for expert riders. The specially designed high camber Pump 202 stabiliser works in harmony with the APF to provide excellent pitch stability throughout the entire pump cycle. This solid feeling underfoot lets you focus on building your technique and developing efficiency to go further than ever before.
Designed with Chris Porter
Designed in collaboration with career aerospace engineer Chris Porter, the APF foil shares its DNA with his reputed Crisp 333 and 381 stabilisers. Our approach to finding gains across all areas of the foil design have led to a pump foil that’s truly designed from tip to tip for the discipline.
