The new Armstrong Pump Foil (APF) redefines pump foiling potential with ultra low stall speeds, incredible stability and high efficiency to go further with less effort than ever.
Designed in collaboration with career aerospace engineer Chris Porter of Crisp stabilisers, the APF is easy to fly with ultra-low stall speeds and excellent pitch stability for an efficient pump cadence. A straight leading edge and specially tuned foil section minimise spanwise flow, making for an all around extremely user friendly pump foil from launch to landing. For those experimenting with ultra-light downwinding or micro surf, the APF doubles up as an incredible session saver. The Pump 202 is a pump-specific stabiliser and boosts flatwater pumping performance to the max. These foils will cover riders from <65kg (143lbs) to 90+kg (198lbs), rookie through expert.
Features:
- Easy to fly with ultra-low stall speeds
- Pitch stable to help you 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.
