COMPARISON: UHA VS CLASSIC HIGH ASPECT WINGS
| Criterion | Armstrong UHA | Standard High Aspect (AR ~10) |
|---|---|---|
| Aspect Ratio | 12.6 (ultra high) | 9-11 (high) |
| Glide Performance | Maximum | Good |
| Stall speed | Incredibly low | Medium |
| Handling | Intuitive (Armstrong feel) | Variable |
| Construction | Toray pre-preg carbon | Variable |
| Mounting system | A+ (hexagonal titanium/stainless steel) | Standard |
Verdict: The UHA pushes the limits of high aspect while maintaining Armstrong's intuitive feel. It's ideal for maximizing glide without sacrificing handling.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Efficiency and Handling Combined
The UHA (Ultra High Aspect) front wing is designed to combine pure efficiency with intuitive handling. Every detail of its shape and refined foil section has been optimized for maximum glide and minimal drag, helping you maintain speed with less effort. Even with its high aspect ratio, the UHA enters turns with smoothness, precision, and stability.
Designed for True Progression
This high aspect front wing is designed to bridge the gap between pure efficiency and intuitive handling. The UHA opens up conditions that were previously impossible to ride. Light wind wingfoiling becomes a state of flow rather than a struggle. Parawing becomes accessible, intuitive, and rewarding. Downwind runs extend further with less effort.
Turn, Connect, Flow
Transitioning between power sources has never been smoother. This front wing lets you open your shoulders, look to the next wave, and feel the foil follow naturally. It's intuitive and responsive, allowing the foil to carve with intention and fluidity rather than tracing a rigid line.
Top-Tier Construction
Foils are subjected to extreme torsional and bending loads, which is why the UHA is built with premium Toray high-modulus pre-preg carbon. The result is an ultra-stiff, strong, and lightweight foil with exceptional performance. Combined with Armstrong's cutting-edge manufacturing, this construction makes the UHA the gold standard for performance and durability.
A+ System: Modular Assembly
The A+ System is Armstrong's proprietary modular assembly design, uniting the mast, fuselage, front wing, and stabilizer with a tapered hexagonal fit. This design is incredibly strong, torsionally rigid, and durable. Paired with a premium titanium and stainless steel screw set, corrosion is minimized, and the entire assembly benefits from an industry-leading fit and finish.
