If you are looking for a foil that can keep up with your high-performance surfing, then the Armstrong Foils Performance 865 is the one for you. This foil is designed to take your surfing experience to the next level by providing unmatched speed, control, and stability. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a beginner looking to step up your game, the Performance 865 is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to take their surfing to new heights.

Advanced Design

The Performance 865 is designed with advanced technology and engineering to deliver maximum performance on the water. The wing profile is carefully crafted to provide the perfect balance between lift and drag, which translates into effortless speed and maneuverability. The anhedral design of the front wing allows for smooth and stable turns, while the large surface area of the rear stabilizer provides the necessary lift for controlled flight.

The construction of the Performance 865 is also top-notch. The front and rear wings are made from high-quality carbon fiber, which makes them incredibly strong and durable. The mast and fuselage are made from aircraft-grade aluminum, which is both lightweight and strong, making the foil easy to handle both in and out of the water.

Unmatched Performance

The Performance 865 is designed for high-performance surfing, and it delivers on that promise. The foil provides incredible speed and acceleration, which means you can catch waves earlier and ride them longer. The foil also offers unmatched control and stability, even in choppy or windy conditions, giving you the confidence to push your limits and try new tricks.

One of the standout features of the Performance 865 is its ability to handle steep and hollow waves with ease. The foil's design allows for tight turns and quick reactions, making it the perfect tool for getting deep inside the barrel and coming out with style.

Easy to Use

While the Performance 865 is designed for high-performance surfing, it is also easy to use, even for beginners. The foil's construction and design make it stable and predictable, so you can focus on your surfing without worrying about the foil. The foil is also easy to set up and adjust, allowing you to fine-tune it to your specific needs and preferences.

In addition, the Performance 865 is compatible with a wide range of boards, so you can use it with your favorite surfboard or SUP. The foil comes with a universal mount, which means you can easily attach it to any board with a standard fin box.

These masts are designed with a mast rake angle. This fine tunes the board angle relative to the foil for a more comfortable and forgiving ride. It does not change the lifting force or balance of the foil itself, and it does not impact the foil’s “foot pressure” bias front or back. Board rocker also directly determines effective mast rake – boards from different brands have a variety of different rocker lines which influence rake angle – and more rocker in the rear half of board effectively increases mast rake. The 1 degree of rake we’ve placed specifically into the top of the Performance Mast shape provides three main benefits by adjusting the board relative to the foil underwater:

• By bringing the foil closer to 0 degrees when the board is in the water, drag is reduced which makes takeoffs easier.
• Touching down at speed or landing a jump is more forgiving and there’s less chance of crashing headfirst over the board.
• By lifting the board nose slightly (1 degree = 17.46mm/m), mast rake makes it easier to ride fast without catching the nose at steep riding angles.

Simply put, the Performance Mast range takes the sublime Armstrong feeling further than ever.
