Foil assist and E-Foiling are unlocking whole new ways to ride. Whether you're chasing bumps or waves on windless days or starting out, these setups will take you to the next level. 

Beginners can learn faster with powered assist, and advanced riders can chase more waves or ride spots they normally couldn’t. This is your fast track to quicker progression. But with more options comes more questions: What gear should I be riding? Here's a simple guide to our recommended Armstrong setups for different rider levels and use cases.
