Hydrofoil Product Review | Armstrong CF1200

The Armstrong CF1200 is a quick, nimble foil that provides a great ride.  It is all about speed, speed and more speed that drives agility.

We like to couple this wing with the 50 centimeter fuselage, the the shortest fuse that Armstrong offers.  This super short fuse makes the CF1200 foil really come alive. The 1200 is direct and quick and the short fuse will have you flying across the waves.

When you’re pumping, the responsiveness allows for good surface connection.  It is very responsive to minor changes in your weight and  lends itself to sharp turns.  Direct input makes it really lively under your feet. High speed bottom turns are especially fun!

The all-carbon construction means the 1200 is nice and light. It is easy to carry and move around but still sturdy.  The 1200 goes true through the water and carries speed through with no problems.  It is comfortable and steady as you go, snappy with a solid feel under foot.

Overall, the Armstrong CF1200 is twitchy and fun, nice and loose for crossing over, cutting, slicing and dicing. However, we’d recommend this foil for intermediate to advanced foilers, it might be a bit too much for beginners.
