Jeff and Tucker dive into a one-year review of the Slingshot One Lock system. Officially, the system has been out for at least a year, but counting pre-production samples, the guys have been riding it for closer to two years. After getting plenty of traction with customers over the past year, they wanted to recap their thoughts, share customer feedback, and discuss how Slingshot backs their product now that it's officially here to stay. Durability and Maintenance: Is It a Gimmick? When it come …

If you aren't familiar with Omen's foils, you might know their boards, which feature exceptional design and top-quality construction. The Agent is their second foil release, designed specifically for glide, speed range, and a good low end. It works awesome for parawinging, winging, and even surf foiling when you're looking for that extra bit of glide and pumpability. For this review, Tucker tested the Agent 900. The Agent vs. The Operator Compared to Omen's first release, the Operator (their s …

Tucker is here with a look at a brand new product: the Code Aluminum Mast. In the past, Code has only offered carbon fiber and high-modulus carbon fiber options. With this new release, they're reaching down to make their kits more affordable, accessible, and durable for riders who are hard on their gear. We've been hoping for this one for a long time, and Tucker walks through all the finer points of the mast, plus why you might want to choose it over shelling out the cash for carbon. Stiffness …

Jeff and Tucker dive into a majorly important part of the foil setup: the mast. With foiling experience dating back to 2013 and 2016, their thought processes on mast length have evolved significantly over time. As foil designs have improved, the way riders approach mast length across windsurfing, wing boards, kite boards, and wake foils has completely shifted. If you're thinking about length, why there are so many different sizes, and what you're trying to get out of your foil, this breakdown …

Tucker is out on the water in Grand Haven, Michigan, with Adam Bennetts from FLITElab. With no lake waves to surf, they took the new FLITElab gear behind the boat for some wakefoiling. Adam's First Impressions Behind the Boat This was only the second time Adam has been behind a boat and his first time on the FLITElab gear. He was riding his signature FLUX 808 AB with the short fuse, the 125 stab, and the 82 mast on the 4'0" AB RAW board. The 808 is designed for intermediate to advanced riders …

Tucker is taking a look at the new Code Kanga foils. As the name indicates, these are for hopping around, dock starting, and anytime you're riding at super slow speeds and want that extra efficiency and pumpability to keep you going with no energy out there. Whether it's flat water pumping, practicing your SUP paddle-ups, beach starts, light wind winging, or light wind parawing riding, these are built for maximum low-speed ability and the minimum stall speed possible. In other words: Code has …

Jeff and Tucker are jumping into the intermediate zone of a foiler. When you hit that intermediate stage, you might think you're a pro now, able to handle any conditions. You've made it past the beginner stage and feel really good about your riding. It's a big zone where you get a lot of confidence — which is a good thing — but you can also get yourself hurt or become a bit overzealous about your skill set. As an intermediate, you can go out, not be overly stressed, ride on the foi …

Tucker took a break from his normal wing and parawing foil testing to talk about some new apparel with cool applications for foilers: the new ION Surf Shield Wetshirt, also referred to as the Fearless Fiber jacket or sweater. Fearless Fiber Protection The standout feature of this water shirt is the special material called Fearless Fiber. It's cut-resistant to level 4, tested according to the European standard 388:2016. The material is designed to protect you from a sharp foil, a prop blade on …

How to Figure Out Which Screw You Need You just dropped a screw. Well, technically that perfect session wind caught it and sent it tumbling, because you're definitely not that clumsy. And then, even though your lightning reflexes should've caught it, it phased through your hand and wriggled itself deep into the sand. You know it's right there, yet somehow it just isn't. Now there's one tiny screw keeping you from joining your buddies on the water. But which one do you need? You've still got its …

Whether you've been watching dock start videos on repeat or you've already face-planted into the water a few times, this guide is for you. Dockstarting a foil is one of those skills that looks deceptively simple from the shore, and then humbles you fast once you're actually standing on the dock. The good news? It's highly learnable, and the progression curve gets a lot friendlier once you understand what actually matters. Here's everything you need, from dialing in your gear to the pumpin …

Modern hydrofoil design has reached a point where "one foil does it all" is no longer the move. The best brands are building with intention, and F-One is one of the clearest examples of that shift in the current market. Their Sk8, Eagle, and Seven Seas front wings each carry a distinct personality, a clear purpose, and a specific type of rider in mind. Understanding those differences is not just useful knowledge. It is the difference between buying a foil you love and buying one that sits in th …

The F-One Seven Seas has been quietly doing its thing in the wing foil world for a few years now, and honestly, it doesn't get nearly enough credit. It's not flashy. It's not the foil that gets tagged in the big wave edits or the high-performance clips. But for a huge portion of wing foilers, from beginners still finding their sea legs to seasoned riders who just want to flow with the ocean on a mellow day, the Seven Seas might be the smartest foil in the quiver. Tucker and Jeff from MACkite …

The 2026 lineup from F-One tightened the gap between the Eagle and the SK8 in a big way. What used to be a clearer split now comes down to how and where you ride most. Tucker and Jeff spent a lot of time on both, and what follows is a cleaned-up, real-world breakdown of how these foils actually behave on the water, not just what the specs say. The SK8: When Turning Is the Whole Point The SK8 is the foil you grab when you want to turn first and think later. What stands out right away is ho …

Video Synopsis Theo Demanez was born and raised in St.Marten, an island in the Caribbean. At an early age he was immersed in the water and quickly gained the nickname - Le Poisson by his peers. This aquatic life quickly helped him gain his first sponsor Cabrinha in 2015. Fast forward a decade and Theo is a firm fixture of the Cabrinha family.

The 2026 F-One hydrofoil lineup introduces meaningful upgrades aimed at improving stiffness, efficiency, and ease of use across the entire system. Central to these improvements is the new Titan 2 (T2) connection, along with the introduction of Ultra High Modulus (UHM) mast options, the updated SK8 V3 front wing, and the long-awaited Eagle V2 redesign. These changes represent a thoughtful evolution of F-One’s hydrofoil ecosystem—refining the performance characteristics riders a …
