Armstrong A Wing XPS Lightwind Wing

A-Wing XPS Lightwind – Revolutionizing Lightwind Foiling

Unlock the magic of foiling in even the lightest winds with the all-new A-Wing XPS Lightwind. Designed to maximize every breeze, this wing will elevate your experience, no matter how light the forecast. Offering incredible power in the slightest wind, the A-Wing XPS is built to break away from traditional “big wing” limitations.

Super Maneuverable and Perfectly Balanced

Whether you’re cruising or pushing your limits, this wing delivers smooth, responsive rides in light winds.

Unmatched performance in light winds
Extremely maneuverable and engaging to ride
Lightweight and perfectly balanced for maximum control
Perfect for all skill levels looking to progress in lightwind conditions

Power in Every Ride

One of the challenges with larger wings is maintaining the perfect shape while riding. The Power Batten, located at the rear of the canopy and perpendicular to the strut, is Armstrong's proprietary, patent-pending carbon fiber solution. It keeps a precise airfoil profile across the entire length of the wing, from leading edge to trailing edge, ensuring optimal performance. By improving power generation through the center of the wing and enabling efficient airflow, the Power Batten enhances the wing's signature bat tail outline. With a narrower wingspan and reduced outboard weight, this innovation results in a wing that feels lighter, more balanced, and easier to pump onto foil. The Power Batten delivers superior performance, making it feel smaller than other wings of similar size – giving you better control and efficiency on the water.

Superior Control and Comfort

The Cross Panel Sail (XPS) Design is a cutting-edge innovation that delivers an exceptional, connected feel when riding. By arranging the canopy panels at diagonal angles, this unique layout significantly reduces sail distortion, improves load distribution, and enhances frame rigidity. The result? A direct, controlled, and comfortable flying experience in all XPS Lightwind sizes. Removable carbon fiber battens minimize trailing edge flutter while allowing easy canopy tuning to adjust for varying wind strengths.

Hybrid Carbon Handles – Ultimate Control and Comfort

The Hybrid Carbon Handles (HCH) combine a rigid carbon interior skeleton with a soft, padded exterior, delivering the perfect balance of control and comfort. This innovative design, also found on our XPS wings, offers a lightweight yet ultra-stiff handle that enhances your riding experience. The ergonomic strut shape places the handles in a position that promotes better endurance during your sessions. Plus, the absence of hard edges ensures added safety for both you and your board, making every ride more enjoyable.

Airframe: Constructed from a new generation of lightweight Dacron, tested polyester Dacron, and Ultra PE woven laminate reinforcements. These materials provide the right balance of lightness and stiffness, helping the airfoil maintain its shape.
Cross Panel Sail Design Canopy: Boosts canopy tension and load distribution for a direct, powered feel. Made with Teijin Technoforce D3 material for superior durability.
Power Batten: A patent-pending carbon fiber bar that enhances wing performance. Features extended UPE reinforcement, special stitching details, and double-layer UPE end pockets. Replaceable for convenience.
Trailing Edge Battens: Carbon fiber battens that minimize flutter at the trailing edge and are removable to fine-tune your wing's feel.
Hybrid Carbon Handles: A rigid carbon skeleton paired with a soft, padded exterior for optimal control and comfort.
Windows: Made from ultra-clear, lightweight TPU, these windows are foldable for easy packing and can withstand cold temperatures without cracking.
