It empowers riders of all skill levels to enjoy longer sessions and earlier takeoffs, extending the foil season and expanding possibilities on the water. Innovative Design for Maximum Lift and Minimal Drag Optimized Airfoil Profile The Armstrong A-Wing XPS Lightwind Wing features an airfoil shape meticulously tuned to maximize lift without compromising speed. Utilizing advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD), Armstrong engineers have created a wing that excels at generating lift at low speeds while maintaining efficient glide. Increased camber promotes higher lift in gentle winds. Smooth leading edges reduce flow separation and drag. Tapered wing tips minimize induced drag for stable, controlled rides. This design allows riders to achieve takeoff earlier and maintain smooth flight even in barely-there wind conditions. Large Surface Area and High Aspect Ratio The wing’s generously sized surface area dramatically improves lift production. Coupled with a high aspect ratio, this design enhances glide performance, allowing riders to cover more distance with less energy expenditure. Broad wingspan increases water contact for powerful lift. Narrow chord length supports efficient airflow and reduces drag. Together, these factors create a wing that effortlessly supports riders in conditions where lesser wings falter. Advanced Materials and Construction Armstrong prioritizes premium materials to ensure the A-Wing XPS Lightwind Wing is lightweight yet durable. Aerospace-grade carbon fiber forms the primary structure, delivering high stiffness and minimal flex. Specialized epoxy resin systems provide UV resistance and waterproofing to protect against environmental wear. Precision molded foam cores reduce weight while maintaining shape integrity. This combination ensures riders experience consistent, responsive performance without added weight, crucial for lightwind agility. Armstrong XPS Lightwind Wing Tailored Performance for Every Rider Perfect for Beginners and Experts Alike The A-Wing XPS Lightwind Wing’s forgiving lift characteristics make it an excellent choice for newcomers struggling to get up in light conditions. Meanwhile, its efficiency and precision satisfy advanced riders pushing the boundaries of lightwind foiling. Versatile Applications Whether you’re cruising calm lakes, coastal bays, or expansive ocean flats, this wing adapts seamlessly. Its balance of lift, control, and speed suits: Lightwind downwind runs Flat water pumping sessions Freestyle attempts requiring steady lift This versatility broadens the range of foiling opportunities regardless of weather.

This ensures a strong, stable connection and allows micro-adjustments for optimal performance. Step 2: Adjust Mast Position Slide the mast along the twin-track to find your preferred balance: Forward position: Increases lift and stability, ideal for beginners or lightwind cruising. Mid position: Balances lift and maneuverability, great for general foiling. Rear position: Enhances agility and response for advanced freestyle or wave riding. Test your setup in calm water before hitting bigger conditions. Step 3: Angle of Attack (AoA) Settings Adjust the wing’s angle relative to the mast to control lift and drag: Higher AoA: Produces more lift but increases drag — best for lightwind conditions. Lower AoA: Reduces drag, allowing for higher speeds — ideal for stronger wind or fast carving. Fine-tune gradually to find your sweet spot. Step 4: Pre-Ride Checks Before each session, double-check: Tightness of all bolts and screws Integrity of mounting hardware No visible damage or cracks on wing surface Safe and confident setup equals better rides. Maintenance Tips for Armstrong A-Wing XPS Lightwind Wing Rinse and Clean After Use Always rinse your wing thoroughly with fresh water after every ride to remove salt, sand, and debris that can degrade materials. Avoid Prolonged Sun Exposure Store the wing in a shaded, cool place when not in use to prevent UV damage and material fatigue. Inspect Regularly Check for any surface cracks, delamination, or hardware looseness. Early detection of wear prevents costly repairs. Transport Safely Use padded wing or board bags during travel to protect from impacts and scratches. Professional Inspection Have your wing professionally checked annually or after any heavy impact to ensure structural integrity.
