Armstrong WKT
FOIL BOARD
Armstrong are never a brand afraid to span into any of the foiling disciplines, and they’ve just released the WKT, standing for Wake, Kite, Tow, which comes in three sizes – 109, 122 and 137cm – sliding neatly into the minimal pocket board sector. Board size should be selected on your desired discipline and weight, and Armstrong have a comprehensive guide to choosing the correct weapon. We’ve seen Austin Tovey popping double backflips with it behind the boat, so were quite eager to get our hands on it.
First off, each board comes complete with a beautifully tailored padded bag, which is essential for keeping it safe, be it in a vehicle or on a boat. This has capacity for foil-on storage with a Velcro aperture at the tail end. The closure is formed from zips and a little Velcro tab locks these off neatly. They provide M6 316L bolts and M6 T30 Torx head size, with matching deck inserts which can be configured in a Y or straight configuration. Large titanium hexagonal washers are included for orienting the footstraps securely without twisting. Armstrong footstraps are provided, located neatly in a zip pocket on the side of the bag. These are pressed memory foam, and as well as being extremely comfortable, retain their shape after compression. A small toolkit is provided including a decent stainless Torx screwdriver and
