The Armstrong S1 (Step 1) Front Wing is the standalone version of the front foil that ships in the S1 Foil Kit — the same stable, low-flying-speed, intuitive wing that's the easiest way to learn to foil, available on its own for riders who already have an Armstrong A+ System mast, fuselage and stabiliser.

Four sizes (1250 / 1550 / 1850 / 2450 cm²) cover learners through to riders chasing the lightest-wind sessions. Fully compatible with the Armstrong A+ System. From £449. Free UK postage.

Step 1: Redefining How We Learn To Foil

Product overview

The Step 1 (S1) foil range delivers remarkable stability, ultra low flying speed and an instantly intuitive feel to make the first step into foiling as accessible and forgiving as possible. Pitch, roll and yaw stability are critical to success when building foiling skills. The S1 design achieves a near autopilot-like level of predictability thanks to a combination of leading and trailing edge sweep, chord length and foil section geometry.

The S1 foils fly at a remarkably low speed with a high degree of controllability so riders can practise manoeuvres with less risk and a lower learning curve. When overpowered, the foil reduces breaching with a tendency to fly itself back down when approaching the surface.

Key features

Ultra-easy learning platform. Excellent low-speed lift, stability and recovery from ventilation.

Stability-focused geometry. Leading and trailing edge sweep, narrower span and downturned wing tips for predictable feel.

Carbon composite construction. Lightweight, stiff and responsive.

A+ System connection. Fully compatible with the wider Armstrong foil ecosystem.

Technical specifications

Pair with: S1 300 Stabiliser (also stocked).

Honest advice from us

Buy the S1 Front Wing standalone if you already have an Armstrong A+ System mast, fuselage and stabiliser — most likely the S1 300 Stabiliser — and just want the front foil. If you're starting fresh, the S1 Foil Kit (also stocked, from £1,279) is the better value buy since it bundles the front wing, S1 300 stabiliser, 72cm alloy mast, 75cm alloy fuselage, hardware and a kit bag.

Which size? S1 1850 for most learners 75–95 kg. 1550 for lighter riders, 2450 for heavier or very light wind, 1250 for once you've outgrown a bigger size. Call us on 01492 588001 for sizing.
