GoFoil set out to “build the best foil possible with simplicity in mind.” They construct all of their foils, mast/fuselage combinations, and stabilizers from high modulus carbon. While I don’t know exactly what that means, I DO know they make great stuff, I love it, and it’s all that I ride. So let’s break down their two newest wings, the GoFoil EZ and GT Series.Understanding the GoFoil GT and EZ Series The GoFoil EZ line of foil wings was designed to be easy to learn, ride, and …

When the family made plans to head to Florida for Spring Break, the first thing that popped into my head was "winging!!!!". This past Michigan winter was especially brutal and it had been since the Fall that I had been on foil with my wing. This Spring Break however, I had a new set of challenges. In previous years we drove and I could finagle a board in the car somehow. This year we chose to fly and I knew getting a board down there was going to be almost impossible. This is where the amaz …

Hey everybody, welcome back to MACkiteboarding.com Foil Fridays. I'm Tucker and today I'm going to talk to you about some exciting new products from GoFoil. So what we have here are some new releases from GoFoil. We've got some new tail wings, we've got a whole new lineup of wings here... exciting stuff from GoFoil, and today I'm going to walk you through what's going on with these and my impressions of them after riding them for a little over a month now. Next we have the GT wing here. I …

Today we're going to review a wing I've had on my list forever. Unifoil is actually a foil brand taking a fresh look at the design of a wing. I found that I truly enjoyed this wing on the waves and it had some fun benefits for that style of wingsurfing.  The UniFoil Wing This is available in 4,5, and 6 meter sizes. With the wing, I’ve had this for a really long time and I’ve putt it off for far too long. The good news is I have more perspective on this wing than normal. First …

This is a project that has been in development for years and has a lot of R&D into it. I have my hands on the 633 version the larger free rider or even wing foil wing. Fist up, the kit comes in a high end travel case that keeps everything organized well inducing reenforced wing covers that won’t wear out like previous iterations. This all comes included with Hardware, a tool and some lubricant. Heads up this doesn’t use the standard m8x25 board mounting hardware. You’ll ne …

The moon buddy comes in many sizes but the 5.0 is a great next level wing foil board. The first thing to note is the graphic design. Nothing to do with performance but I have to comment on visually appealing this board is. This board has a screwed vent plug. I do wish they had an automatic vent like many other brands have implemented but it's not terribly inconvenient to manual do it before and after your session. There are good options for strap inserts but I find that I prefer to ride straple …

Hey there. I bought and finally got to ride my new Naish 135L inflatable this weekend and thought I'd offer a review. POINT ONE: The thing actually works and generally speaking I was impressed...This is my 10th wing board this season and so the reviews will be against those (10' sup, fanatic 6'7", fanatic 5'4", custom carbon 5'4", F-one 6'0, fone 5'4", fone 5,0", Naish 4'8"). My current ride is the Naish 4'8" 50L and had the most influence in my comparison.Setup: I left the board partially …

We're going to cover the NL & P180 from GoFoil. Here's what you can expect, and what the advantages of choosing one versus the other are. What you can expect NL stands for "next level". They are designed for the highest level riding, meaning if you want to go fast, get the most pumping performance, and are looking to get the most performance out of your high aspect wings, these are going to be a good choice. This is from the P series and the P stands for "pump". If you are into downwind ra …

My Moses 633 had been my favorite foil of all time until I started riding the FONE Phantom 1080 (no, they didn't pay me to say that but they did give me a free t-shirt and hat)... I kite foiled the Moses 633 for 2 solid seasons and compared every other Moses foil against it. The 633 was always my baby, always my go to foil in sketchy or sub-optimum conditions. I worked thru the gammet of stabilizers for it - starting at the 483 and moving down the 450, 425, 421, 420, 330, 325 and finally ending …

I've had the chance now to test these foils back to back and so I offer my opinions to any interested... Housekeeping: Moses 1000 front wing, standard kite fuse, 420 stab, 72cm carbon mast... Fone 1480 stock with 85cm carbon mast Board: fone 5'0" 60 liters wings: fone swings, 3.5, 4.2 and 5m (all used for testing)... conditions: winds steady, 12-25 in river swell I've riden the 1000 extensively and purchased and have been riding the Fone Phantom 1480. Generally speaking these setups are incredib …

The Naish Ultra Carbon Wing/ SUP board started off as a SUP board in previous years. However, it became far more popular with wing foilers. So, for 2021 Naish made some modifications to adapt to this new sport. Including new sizes from 40 liters to 140 liters! I’ve been using the 85L myself. At 195 lbs this is the perfect do it all board for me on. This would be ideal for someone around my weight that wants an intermediate to advance do-it-all wingsurf board. It worlds well for me in a v …

With the popularity of larger and larger wings, Moses came up with version 2 of their masts for those wings, the stiffer 72cm and 82cm. (Don't quote me, I am a bystander reading things online like you, but this is the conclusion that I came to. I don't speak Italian and can't ask Moses directly!). When I started foiling, the "cool" thing seemed to be longer and longer masts, and short masts were for "beginners" (and sissys). So I had a hard time believing Tucker at Mackite for suggesting the 72 …

The Moses 873 wing isn't considered a kite wing by many (ok, by all), but that still didn't deter me from using if for kiting since I'd already purchased it. I've done lots of different combo tests to try to make this wing work.And, I think I finally got it.I rode this wing strapless on a 2018 dwarf craft micro, positioned all the way forward (rear plate of Moses 91cm or any Moses mast plate 6-1/2" from the tail) on a standard surf fuselage w/the 325 stabiliser. What a trip! (if I ever learn ho …

I know I know, this foil has already been out 2 years. So! I've owned this foil for nearly a year, and finally got up the nerve this weekend to try it to get over my night terrors of it. It's been bugging me for a long time. I rode the Moses 637/420/101 (637 front wing, 420 stabilizer and 101cm mast) on a Temavento race board, shorty wetsuit, booties, and some bad ass mystic shorts over, dakine sliding surf harness. Day 2 I rode it with a Slingshot dwarfcraft micro, circa 2018 (mast track forwar …

Joe is a longtime customer of ours from San Francisco and a Moses foiling fanatic.  I think he actually owns nearly every wing in their lineup.  We love talking shop with one another so he is going to guest host a few blogs since I'm too busy at the moment.  I think you will all enjoy his infectious stoke and sometime's brutal honesty. Warning: this is more of a personal expose rather than an equipment review...I take back everything I've reviewed about Moses foils!Background: Thi …
