This is Tucker from MACkiteboarding with Mr. Jeff, and today we're going to talk to you about the Airush Freewing V2. We'll start with an overview, and then we will do a quick review.Overview Tucker: The Freewing V2 from Airush and Starboard is a very nice do-it-all wing. It's really compact, and the frame itself is quite thick and stiff, so even as a heavier rider, I can ride with more power and it's going to hold its shape, which is really nice. When you're pumping, especially in light …

"We finally did it. We came out with a split-board. It is going to be a toolless design. It's based on the Duotone Select shape, which is a twin tip that we've had in our line forever. The Duotone Voyage rides super smooth, super easy in the chop, and it feels fast and quick. And this thing is relatively lightweight as well when you're traveling with it. An important detail that was pointed out to me is that there are some countries, like, there are some islands in the Caribbean, …

Q: I've been riding an Armstrong 1550v2 with a HA195 tail. I enjoy it, but could I get better speed and glide out of something like an F-One Eagle HM or another foil? A: I've ridden Armstrong foils and they are great, but they aren't known for their glide efficiency or mast stiffness. By comparison, F-one foils are top of the class in both glide efficiency and stiffness through the entire system. That is mostly due to the sleek mast/fuse connection, monocoque front wing/fuse design, and high-mod …

In this review, Cam, Ryan and Cole are going to give you a brief overview of each wing that Slingshot produces for wake foiling. Gamma 68 Wing Cole: The first wing in the lineup is the Gamma wing.

However, out of all of the wings, this one's going to be able to go the fastest. If you're looking to do airs, 360s, backf …

The Intermediate Wing Foiler's Syndrome All extreme sports have a risk of this stage, and accidents are almost always a result of human error, not equipment failure. In snow skiing and snowboarding, it would be skipping ahead to the terrain park after just mastering the bunny hill. Recently I’ve talked with several advanced and expert-level kiteboarders who learned to wing foil this summer. Naturally, they progressed faster than the average beginner since wings are basically kites without …
