Armstrong Downwind MKIII Foilboard

REAL Review

Downwind progression starts here.

The Downwind Mk III board is all about progression whether you’re just figuring out downwinding orpushing the limits of surfing downwind in short period skatepark conditions. The displacement hulldesign works wonders to increase paddling speed and help you get on foil, and the refined outlinekeeps things fun once you’re flying.

Glide

Bump catching made easy.

The speedy new displacement hull makes getting onto bumps easier than ever. It’s quick and efficientso you can get up to speed without needing perfect paddling technique or heaps of strength.

Responsiveness

Lay down carves.

The Mk III’s outline is shorter and slightly narrower than the prior Downwind board for improvedmaneuverability when on foil. Combined with the Forward Geometry foil tracks, that means you’ll becarving harder and pumping more efficiently.

Comfort

No sacrifices for performance gains.

Despite the reduced dimensions, the Mk III remains comfortably stable thanks to its rounded rails andflatter deck with increased standing room. The new rail shape makes the board’s roll stability moreconsistent and comfortable so you don’t find yourself suddenly thrown off balance.
