Welcome back to The Foil Project and we are stoked to deliver you one of our biggest podcasts yet. Feel free to drop us any comments/questions it would be great to hear from you!
In this episode of The Foil Project, we delve into all things Armstrong with founder and director of @armstrongfoils4948 , Armie Armstrong. In this episode we explore the history and origin of Armies humble beginnings, venturing into his design philosophy and testing process to produce innovative, high-quality wings and boards.
Armie grew up around the water and wind, involved in numerous water sports from a young age including sailing, kite-boarding, kayaking and SUP surfing to name a few. His knack for water sports was clear from a young age and this inevitably lead to his interest in foiling, taking to the market years later to produce high quality wings that would transcend the foiling industry. His brand now caters for all riders in all conditions across the wide range of foiling sports, and shares strong links with the America’s Cup racing industry in New Zealand. We are so stoked Armie could come into the studio and loved having him on this episode of The Foil Project.
Armie Drops a whole heap of important names along the way, so here is the list of all these legends if you’re interested in finding out more! Click the links (or copy and paste them into your browser) for more info.
