Armstrong Straight Foot Strap incl. Hardware

FAQ

What is the Armstrong Straight Foot Strap designed for?

The Straight Foot Strap is a straight memory foam foot strap for Armstrong foil and wing boards. It is suitable for wing foiling, pump foiling, and all disciplines where secure yet flexible hold on the board is required.

What material is the foot strap made of?

The strap is made of compressed memory foam, which conforms comfortably to the foot and returns to its arched shape when standing up. The included washers are made of titanium, and the screws are made of 316L stainless steel.

What is included in the delivery?

The delivery includes one straight foot strap with mounting hardware: 2x Torx 27 mm 316L stainless steel self-tapping screws and 2x titanium foot strap washers.

Do the straps fit my Armstrong board?

The straps are suitable for Armstrong foil and wing boards with compatible inserts. Important: The Straight Foot Strap must not be used on the WKT board, as it can cause the board to tear. 19.5 mm machined screws are required for installation.

How are the straps properly installed?

The titanium washer must be tightened firmly so that the memory foam is fully compressed. The washer is designed to press into the foam and clamp the internal webbing to the board. Ideally, the outline and recesses of the washer should be visible in the foam when it is removed.

What hole size do I need for installation?

The hole diameter should be 4.2 mm. If the diameter is too small, the insert can be damaged or the screw can snap off. Check the holes in your board before installation.

Are the foot straps also suitable for jibes and water starts?

Yes, users report that the straps can be easily put on and taken off during jibes, water starts, and quick changes of foot position. If necessary, you can also step on the strap without deforming it—it will spring back to its original shape afterwards.

Can I also install the straps on non-Armstrong boards?

As long as your board has suitable inserts with the correct hole diameter (4.2 mm) and the screw length (19.5 mm) is suitable, installation is possible. According to users, they work very well on boards with poly inserts.
