Armstrong A Wing Pump

The Armstrong A Wing Pump is a double-action inflation pump designed by Armstrong Foils for inflating their A-Wing series of wing foiling wings. Sold as a standalone accessory within Armstrong's wing foiling ecosystem, it pairs a calibrated pressure gauge with multiple hose-end adapters to accommodate different valve types. The pump is built around an extended barrel and features ergonomic handgrips, a stable foot base, and a foam air filter — all aimed at making on-the-beach inflation quick and low-effort.

Armstrong states that internal friction has been reduced through the use of high-quality components and internal lubricant, which helps keep each pump stroke smooth over repeated use. At $59.99 USD, it sits in the typical price range for branded double-action wing and kite pumps.

• Grip/base: Ergonomic handgrips and foot base

The A Wing Pump is aimed at any rider who owns — or is purchasing — an Armstrong A-Wing. Because it ships with adapters for multiple valve types, it can also serve as a general-purpose inflation pump for other inflatables, though it is marketed specifically alongside Armstrong's wing lineup. Beginners setting up their first wing quiver and experienced riders who need a reliable spare or travel pump will both find it functional.

The double-action mechanism inflates on both the push and pull strokes, cutting inflation time roughly in half compared to single-action pumps. This matters most for riders who session frequently or travel to remote launch spots where electric pump access is limited.

Within Armstrong's accessory catalog, the A Wing Pump sits alongside a focused set of A-Wing support products: replacement bladder sets, individual leading-edge and strut bladders, carbon wing booms, and XPS wing battens. It is the only dedicated pump in Armstrong's current accessory range and is positioned as the brand-recommended inflation tool for A-Wing owners.

At its $59.99 price point, the A Wing Pump competes with similar double-action kite and wing pumps from brands like Duotone, Ozone, and Cabrinha, which typically range from $40 to $70. The main differentiator is the inclusion of Armstrong-specific valve adapters and the foam air filter, which helps keep sand and debris out of the pump barrel — a practical detail for beach-launch riders.
