MORDU – Glisse et Outdoor : Surf, Foil, Kitesurf, Wing, Ski, Snow, Skate & more • 15/07/2026 • 36 min
How do you go from building your first foil in your father's garage to creating Armstrong Foils, one of the most respected brands in the world of foiling?
In this episode of MORDU, Mathieu sits down with Armie Armstrong, founder of Armstrong Foils, during the Défi Wing in Gruissan.
Born into a sailing family, Armie spent his early years sailing around the world before becoming obsessed with designing equipment that makes people enjoy the water even more.
Together, we discuss:
- the incredible story behind Armstrong Foils;
- why stability and accessibility matter more than pure performance;
- the early days of kite foiling and the birth of modern foiling;
- innovation, product development and manufacturing;
- the future of wing foiling, surf foiling, downwind and e-foiling;
- why New Zealand keeps producing world-class water sports innovators.
A conversation about passion, engineering, entrepreneurship and, above all, the simple joy of spending more time on the water.
🎙️ Guest: Armie Armstrong 🌊 Host: Mathieu Gosselin 📍 Recorded live during the Défi Wing in Gruissan, France.
