GLIDE – Bump catching made easy
The speedy new displacement hull makes getting onto bumps easier than ever. It’s quick and efficient so you can get up to speed without needing perfect peddling technique or heaps of strength.
RESPONSIVENESS – Lay down carves
The V3 outline is shorter and slightly narrow than Armstrong’s prior Downwind board, providing improve manoeuvrability when on the foil. Combined with the Forward Geometry foil tracks that mean you’ll be carving harder and pumping more efficiently.
COMFORT – No sacrifices for performance gains
Despite the reduced dimensions, the V3 remains comfortably stable thanks to it rounded rails and flatter deck with increased standing room. The new rail shape makes the boards roll stability more consistent and comfortable so you don’t find yourself suddenly thrown off balance.
