Foiling is exploding.
From once-obscure downwind missions to full car parks at the local reef, it's clear: this isn’t a fringe thing anymore.
More riders, more tricks, more remote sessions it’s all part of what makes foiling such a rush.
But with the stoke comes risk, especially when you’re tapping into open ocean runs, solo surf spots, or threading through a busy spot.
Not every session goes the way you planned it. Gear breaks. Wind shifts. How many people can relate to a long paddle home.
Boats don’t always look twice. That’s where visibility isn’t just smart it’s simple survival.
Armstrong’s new Signal Series is our answer to that reality. We’ve taken safety seriously, without watering down the style or performance.
Signal Pink isn’t just a bold statement it’s your beacon. Whether you’re 10 clicks offshore linking bumps, or threading through a crowd at your local, being seen is your first line of defence. It buys you time. It helps your crew spot you.
It can literally save your life.
Anna Kalabukhova, winner of the womens division in the Moloka?i to O?ahu Triple Crown race, shares her experience, and why she never foils offshore without wearing the Signal Series
“One time I got swept out. I was lucky to be a bright color, it was the only thing that made me visible to the dive boat. They saw a bright spot in the water and picked me up. My friend in black? They couldn’t see him. Since then, I never go offshore without high-vis.”
This collection was built with the same intention as our foils, to perform at the highest level.
The Signal Series weaves high-vis design into everything from bump caps and bucket hats to UPF tops and water caps.
It’s not about looking loud it’s about riding smarter.
Because the best sessions are the ones you get home from, grinning ear to ear, planning the next.
Be bold. Be bright. Be seen.
