A new foilboard has been getting checked out of the demo room quite a bit. The F-One Rocket Wing Crossover bridges the gap between the Rocket Wing S and the Rocket Midlength. While it still falls into the midi board category, it's shorter and wider. So who is this board for, and what are the advantages of this shape? What Is the F-One Rocket Wing Crossover? As the name implies, it falls between a couple other boards in the F-One range. It's longer and narrower than the Rocket Wing S, but …

If you've had the chance to foil on a wave, then you know what it's like to float on a cloud. It's an amazing feeling that'll keep pulling you back to the water every chance you get. Those sessions are all about getting on as many waves as you can, whether they're overhead ocean waves, lake swell, or bumps on a reservoir, and a good wing is going to get you where you need to be and then hang patiently out of the way. There are a lot of wing choices in 2025. Although we're only a few years …

When the guys first caught wind of the Waka folding foilboard this past winter, they were, shall we say... cautiously optimistic. It looked like one of those ideas that sounded good in theory, but ultimately turned out to be gimmicky. We've had split boards for kiteboarding, windsurfing, paddleboarding, and surfing for decades now, and all have fallen short, so the odds of success for a folding foilboard didn't seem too high. It might be heavy, expensive, and give up a lot of performance …

Jeff wants to make sure everyone's in the loop about a small but mighty product that will make your life easier on and off the water, especially if you're a winger. The name is a mouthful for its size: PKS Quick Connect Pigtail with Stopper Ball. You get four of them in the pack, and that's a good thing because you'll find so many ways to use them. What's a Lark's Head Loop? Before you can use these, you'll need to be familiar with making a lark's head loop. While it's not as exciting as …

It's been a minute since Tucker has done a Unifoil review. But lately he's been out ripping on the new Evolution front wing, so now's the perfect opportunity to correct that and bring an update on what's one of his favorite brands to ride. Of course, that endorsement has to be tempered with the fact that this is a high-end foil with a price tag to match, so the question, as always, is whether the added performance justifies the cost. What's a Good Setup with the Unifoil Evolution Wing? O …

Reedin's SuperNatural wing is back for 2025. Last year's model was a shop favorite, so how does the 2025 version hold up? Jeff and Tucker have had a few sessions with it to see if it still has the SuperNatural magic that made them fall in love with this wing and fight over who got to keep it in their car. Is the 2025 Reedin SuperNatural As Good As the 2024? In a word, yes. Jeff was such a fan of the SuperNatural that he even asked Damien not to change too much for 2025. Whether we have J …

Ozone and Flysurfer are two brands well-known for their ram-air foil kites, so it comes as no surprise that their entries into the new parawing category are some of the most popular and top-rated. With many years of experience making non-inflatable kites, both companies have a bit of a head start into the technology that's going to produce a high-performing parawing. So how do you choose between them? First off, both are great parawings. The most important thing is to pick the right size …

Jake's back with a quick follow-up to add some more details about the Limited Edition Evo D/LAB, specifically the blue Aluula material. Why Is the Blue Aluula Really a Limited Run? Initially, the guys thought it was a limited run due to cosmetic issues with the first run of blue Aluula. They could see some lighter areas that looked like crease marks and took those to be a flaw in the manufacturing process, but it turns out that's a common trait of Aluula and not a defect at all. It's pres …

If you subscribe to our newsletter or follow our YouTube channel or blog, then you know that there's been a bit of hype about Duotone's new blue Aluula (which we've taken the liberty of dubbing "Bluula") Evo D/LAB kite. Dustin and Jake both finally got a chance to get a session on it to get a sense of how it flies and who it's for. What Is the "Bluula" Evo D/LAB? The blue Aluula isn't just a new color; it's actually a limited run of the latest version of the Aluula material called D/TX. …

If you want to take a good kite and make it even better, replacing the frame with Aluula is a great place to start. That's what Duotone has done with the Evo D/LAB, but you could be forgiven for not recognizing it right away. We've grown so used to seeing that bright yellow, but Duotone has released the first limited edition Blue Aluula fabric, or "Bluula", as we at MACkite like to call it. This kite is only available in the US, so you may want to preorder if you plan to rock this special …

Fans of Dustin, rejoice! He's returned at long last from a back injury he sustained in October. It was a long road to recovery from a herniated L1-S5, but he's back in the saddle- er, harness, that is. He wasted no time getting out on the water and taking the new North Code Zero Pro for a spin with a foil. The white canopy with a black leading edge makes a good first impression with its clean and sharp look, so how does its performance stack up? What's New on the 2025 North Code Zero Pro? …

If you've been following our wakeboarding videos or blogs, then you probably already know Cole. No less passionate about the sport is his brother Caden, a junior at MSU who's joined the MACkite team for the summer. Caden's had a chance to try the Slingshot One-Lock system behind the boat and see how it feels. Is the Slingshot One-Lock Right for a Wake Boat? Before he even got in the water, Caden was loving the One-Lock system. Everything packed down flat into a small bag that fits in any …

David is staying in a Cometa Home in Egypt and has a new board-off tip for us. Doing a fin grab board-off is not that much harder than doing one from the handle, even though it feels more intimidating. Holding your board further away from your body looks even more impressive, and you can get some great POV shots from a camera mounted to your board. Smile! Step-by-Step Trick Breakdown: 1. Get a Grip As you approach the peak of your jump, reach your back hand down toward the back heelside cor …

The SABfoil Sea Devil is a wing that looks a bit like a B-2 bomber at first glance, which is pretty cool in and of itself. It's not the first monofoil to hit the market, but it's got a twist that makes this wing more accessible than others. Tucker and Jeff were able to get demos of the 840 and 1040, and they put them through their paces. What Is the Sea Devil? The Sea Devil is a monocoque foil design with an optional stabilizer. The idea is that it's two foils in one, as it has completely di …

Parawinging has quickly gained momentum in the wing foiling community, so Tucker has decided to address some questions people are having about using a harness with them. Do I really need a harness? Which type of harness line should I use? And how do I connect a harness line to my parawing? Should I Use a Harness with My Parawing? Unlike flying a kiteboarding kite, a harness is optional when parawinging. You can use the parawing perfectly well without a harness. However, parawings can develop …
