Do I need extra gear to ride?

The foil kit includes assembly hardware and the board/foil; bring a wetsuit, leash, and PFD if you have them, and a signed waiver for under-18 riders.

Will this fit in my car?

Yes—foil kits disassemble to fit in most cars. Call the shop if you want the kit assembled or disassembled at pickup.

Is foiling hard to learn?

Foiling has a learning curve but forgiving rental setups and a short lesson paired with practice dramatically speed up progression.

What are pickup and return times?

Pickup is available as early as noon the day before your rental begins; drop-off is due by noon the day after your rental ends.

What is the age requirement?

Riders must be 16 or older; riders under 18 must have a parent or guardian sign the waiver before pickup.

What if I damage the gear?

Customers are responsible for repair costs in the event of damage. Staff inspect equipment at checkout and on return and late fees may apply.

Urban afternoons on Seattle water get a new expression with Armstrong MA 890, a foil rental available through Urban Surf at 2100 North Northlake Way, Seattle, WA. This program makes foiling approachable: pick up a full foil kit the day before your block, keep it until noon after your rental ends, and practice lift and trim without buying gear. Urban Surf’s shopfront handles inspection, assembly guidance, and returns so you can focus on learning to fly above the surface. The Armstrong MA 890 setup includes foil boards, wings, and all necessary mounting hardware; kits disassemble to fit in most cars when you travel. Renters must be 16 or older, and anyone under 18 needs a guardian-signed waiver before pickup. The rental window includes a half-day buffer—pickup at noon the day before and drop-off at noon the day after—which is ideal in Seattle where wind and tide windows shape sessions. That extra flexibility lets you wait for calmer glass or the cleaner onshore breeze that helps beginners feel stable on the foil. Urban Surf staff will inspect gear at checkout and again at return; customers are responsible for repair costs in case of damage, and late returns may incur fees. Rentals are offered in 1–3 day blocks and require 24-hour notice for a full refund. What makes the Armstrong MA 890 especially useful is its intent: it’s built to accelerate progression. Urban Surf curates forgiving foil setups and wings chosen for stability so new riders can learn fundamentals—weight distribution, board trim, and transitioning to flight—without overcomplicated equipment. For travelers, the rental eliminates airline logistics and shortens the learning curve by pairing rental access with local tips and light coaching recommendations from shop staff. Practical packing matters: bring a wetsuit suited to Puget Sound temperatures, a leash, and a dry bag for personal items; bring warm layers for after your session. This offering is a practical gateway for paddlers and wing riders who want to test foiling, for experienced foilers traveling light, or for anyone curious about the sensation of lift. Armstrong MA 890 at Urban Surf is a straightforward, well-managed way to turn curiosity into controlled flights above Seattle’s water.
