Q & A with Tucker: F-One Plane EAGLE HM Carbon vs. Armstrong HA Foils
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-modu

F-One Strike V2 Wing Review - Best of 2022?
Hey everybody, welcome back to MACkiteboarding Wing Wednesdays. I'm Tucker and today I'm going to tell you all about the new F-One Strike v2 for 2022.
This has been a really hotly anticipated wing this year and there have been lots of questions about it. With the success of the v1 and how great of a wing that was, to say that the standards were really high would be an understatement. I think, more than anything, people have been scratching their heads, wondering how F-One was

F-One Strike V2 vs. V1 Wings - Worth the Upgrade?
Out on the water riding, the experience, how the wing delivers power, what kind of power it has, what it's best suited for, how the stability is, how intuitive the wing is... I think that's really what makes a phenomenal wing and makes one stand out from another. Because there are so many in the industry now, it can be hard to pick. The Strike v1 made a name for itself by having that lift. It wanted to lift you off your feet, drag you downwind, and create that momentum immediately. I

F-One Strike V2 vs. Duotone Unit V2 - An Icy Cage Match
Being a cooler than typical winter here in Michigan, I’ve been jonesing for a session far too long. Fresh new goodies were just sitting unused like a pile of visible regrets. After hunting for weeks for an opening in the ice, I was finally blessed with a pool which was large enough to ride in. Furthermore, the weather was actually nice at 40 deg air, 34 deg water, and sunshine.
I’ll have some more formal video reviews coming in the next few weeks but wanted to get the info out ASAP for

SF Joe's Wing Foiling Progression Story and Tips
For about a year I bashed winging, mainly because I agonized over schlepping around big boards again like back in the windsurf days, now being in love with the small boards kiting and kite foiling allow.But I finally caved after hearing so many stories citing “it is so fun” and I bought a wing… The rest, asthey say, is history…Day 1 - I was eager to get going when my F-one Swing wing arrived, but I had to wait 3 or 4 days due to bruised ribsfrom a hydrofoil crash at speed. But once the ribs
