Greg from Omen Foils breaks down exactly why mast position matters and how you can use it to unlock more control, balance, and performance on t …

It's been a minute since Tucker has done a Unifoil review. But lately he's been out ripping on the new Evolution front wing, so now's the perfect opportunity to correct that and bring an update on what's one of his favorite brands to ride. Of course, that endorsement has to be tempered with the fact that this is a high-end foil with a price tag to match, so the question, as always, is whether the added performance justifies the cost. What's a Good Setup with the Unifoil Evolution Wing? O …
