F-one Phantom foils - S.F. Joe
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

Naish Ultra Carbon Wing/ SUP Board Review
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 var

Slingshot UFO Hydrofoiling Kite Review
Is it an airplane, jet, or weather balloon? To many conspiracists’ delight, what we are looking at is a real UFO. Rather than an “Unidentified Flying Object” that you would see at Area 51, we are looking at Slingshots strutless kite known as the “Unlimited Foiling Object.” This is Slingshot’s only strutless kite in their lineup, and one of the few strutless kites in the market today. Due to the fact that it is so light and completely dedicated to foiling, it has already become a favorite here a

Fanatic Sky Wing Review
This spring we’ve been fortunate to test a few new wingboards. In addition to my past favorites, the Naish Ultra SUP 110L, 95L, and F-one Rocket Wing 5’4 the Fanatic Skywing 5’4” 95L has also stood out as a next level wing foilboard. Perfect for riders of most levels, it’s nimble, easy for learning (at light to mid weights) without making performance tradeoffs once you are more advanced. This has been my go to board for a few weeks and something tells me, it’s going to be one of the most

Joe's Moses 637 420 review experience
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 forward

The Best hydrofoil wings and mast for wingfoiling Part 2
Last week, we covered the best boards for wingfoiling. This week, we wanted to touch on everything that goes beneath the board.
Mast length
Mast length is important for wingfoiling. When first starting, you might think that starting with a shorter mast like kite foiling is the answer. However, if you use a shorter mast, something like a 15 inch, you’re going to have a rough go at it. Even if you know how to foil, while learning the wing, you’ll be bouncing around quite a bi

Foil Fridays - The Best Boards & Features For Wing Foiling Part 1
Wing foiling, wing surfing, hand kite, wing ding.... whatever you call this hot new sport, everyone wants to talk about it but not many people have firsthand knowledge. We have been fortunate enough to have gotten some prototypes in late spring from most of our brands, and I can tell you we are hooked, although we were skeptical at first, thinking it might be too difficult, need tons of wind, or just get boring after the novelty wore off.
After a couple sessions, progressin

Comparing Duotone's Spirit Surf & Carve Hydrofoil - Foil Fridays
Duotone has really stepped up their Hydrofoil and Foil board game for the 2019/2020 season. They have completely overhauled their foil design for the 2020 season and now offer five new complete foils. Every part of their foil has been re-thought and as a result, nothing the previous years will be compatible. Normally I’d think of that as a bad thing, but it was necessary to improve the design to the level that it is now. Across the whole line, you will find a much stiffer and durable const

State of Wing Surfing and Gear
Wing Surfing is the hottest new thing for SUP and hydrofoilers. If you are not already familiar, Wing Surfing uses a small inflatable kiteboard kite-looking sail that is handheld similarly to a windsurf sail. This, paired with a paddleboard or foilboard, allows the rider to capture wind power in a unique way for windsport basics, downwinders, flatwater play, and even foil surfing waves. Riders who have experience hydrofoiling, paddleboarding, and windsurfing will have a signifi
