UHA
Armstrong's ultra-high-aspect front wing at aspect ratio 12.6, built for glide efficiency, a very low stall speed and the brand's turning feel. The long span keeps speed with little input so bumps link into one continuous line. Prepreg Toray high-modulus carbon on the A+ system.

Armstrong UHA Front Foil
Tested: UHA range incl. 870 and 1270, Dart, Speed and Surf Mk II tails
Pros
- Glide-first design with a very smooth stall and high pitch stability
- Huge speed range for open-ocean swell
- Still playful with surf tails; tips can be breached with confidence
- Pumps with a relaxed, subtle cadence
Cons
- Size down one size from the HA for the same lift
- The 1270 flexed a P865 mast slightly; a shorter mast is recommended
Verdict: Armstrong's pick when glide is the top priority, versatile beyond downwind and parawing.
