F-One has officially introduced the biggest structural update to its foil system in six years. After a week of riding in La Ventana alongside the F-One crew, customers, and the MACkite team, one thing became clear — the new T2 connection is not a cosmetic tweak.

Slingshot has designed a couple new foilboards for 2026, and Tucker and Jeff are pretty excited about them. When you think of Slingshot's Craft line of boards, you might envision a chicken nugget shape, but they've gone back to the drawing board with the Flow Craft and Glide Craft. These have been updated with a sleeker surfy approach and a clean white top that gives off surfboard vibes. What's the difference between them, and how do they feel out on the water?

Affordable Dockstart Foil Kit? Ensis MANIAC STRIDE with HIP HOP PRO Tested

Affordable Dockstart Foil Kit? Ensis MANIAC STRIDE with HIP HOP PRO Tested

Tucker just got in a session at his favorite (and top-secret) dockstarting spot with the new Ensis Maniac Stride pump foil and Hip Hop Pro board, and he was pleasantly surprised at how good it was for someone as bad as he was at dockstarting. Not that he's a complete novice, but he'd much rather have a wing in his hands and just doesn't put much time into dockstarting. There are those pesky days that are flat across the board, though, so having a decent pumping foil in your back pocket is …

Slingshot One-Lock Wake Foil Review: Turbo 180 vs. Flare 145 with the Glide 925

Ryan and Caden were out testing wake gear in Lake Michigan. Caden's been behind wake boats for a while and is currently a Junior on the Michigan State Wakeboarding Team. Ryan's no stranger to the foil but can usually be found riding the wind with a wing. They started out testing various brands, but then a screw decided to take a swim, so the guys switched their focus to the toolless, no-hardware-needed One-Lock foil system from Slingshot. What did they ride, and did they agree on the best …
