For 2023 Sabfoil (previously Moses foils) has cut through the confusion of their massive lineup of foils and parts. Most notably, their front wing selection. Rather than reading spec sheets until your eyes are bloodshot you can simply choose a “model” and then your appropriate size. Love a wing but want a smaller/larger size? No problem, just size up/down within the same model for comparable performance. Many existing wings fit into these model categories so if you have an old favorit …

What's up guys? I’m Pat from MACkiteboarding.com. I’ll review the new Slingshot Hope Craft, a pretty neat little board brand new to the Slingshot lineup this year. The Hope Craft is brand new to the Slingshots lab this year, taking the DNA from the successful Dwarf Craft. It was designed by Fred Hope with the desires of St. John himself. So really, just taking everything that he's looking to get out of a high-performance pocket foil board. Hope Craft Size and Construction The Hope …

What's up guys? This is Colin and Ryan from MACkiteboarding, and today we're going to be talking about the Quantum front wing by Slingshot Foils. We took it out a couple of days ago and want to give you guys our first impressions of it. What riding styles are great, and who might this wing be good for? I thought this wing was a great wing to pump with. This wing is not going to hold you back from pumping further. It weighs awesomely with a high aspect ratio and wider …

I'm Tucker, and today we're going to talk to you about the Triton Monofoil. If you haven't seen this foil yet, it's one of the most innovative designs we've seen in quite a while. Totally different from a lot of what you're seeing out there in the industry or ridden before. I will show you a little bit about it and review it after riding it this summer.Features The components consist of; the front wing, the fuselage, and the stabilizer. The front wing is a wild-looking tra …

Q: I've been riding an Armstrong 1550v2 with a HA195 tail. I enjoy it, but could I get better speed and glide out of something like an F-One Eagle HM or another foil? A: I've ridden Armstrong foils and they are great, but they aren't known for their glide efficiency or mast stiffness. By comparison, F-one foils are top of the class in both glide efficiency and stiffness through the entire system. That is mostly due to the sleek mast/fuse connection, monocoque front wing/fuse design, and high-mod …

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 …

Foiling is here, and it is awesome. The feeling, almost indescribable. If one were to try, maybe the feeling of flying over Agrabah on a magic carpet would come close to capturing the magic. And, like anything worth doing, it comes with some risks.  Riding several feet above the water, balancing on a board attached to what might as well be a katana… what could go wrong? The good news is with the proper safety gear the chance of bodily harm goes way down, meaning the chances of you l …

Success in foil surfing is not the number of waves caught but how well one surfs the waves they do catch. - Ewan Jaspan.  Hey there, I'm Ewan Jaspan. Today we're going to look at a bit of surf foiling and, in particular, pumping, coming off the wave, and looking for another one to try to get that elusive link-up. So when you're surf foiling, the feeling and sensation of surf foiling, riding above the wave, and riding these tiny waves, is amazing.  Exit the wave on the shoul …

Surf foiling has been on my radar for a while now. I took the winter to work on my surfing skills so I could get into some rolling waves on less than ideal days. I learned a lot from Ewan and he actually changed the way I might approach picking a wing setup. Recently, the novelty of pumping and connecting waves has caught everyone's attention. Riding high aspect foils is a great way to make this process easier to learn, but it can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, you can pump and …
