Late this past winter, Tucker got a special delivery in. It was the SuperMarine foilboard, a board he'd designed with Omen to meet the needs of riders who wanted a board like the Flux but needed something a bit larger for light wind, added stability for newer riders, or more volume for larger riders. In his video about the Supermarine, Tucker mentioned that he'd still like to see it in more sizes. Well, the Big Mama has arrived. You can now get the SuperMarine in a whopping 120L, and it's …

The crew over at The Inertia just posted an in-depth guide to the best parawings of 2025. This incredible project involved two straight months of testing every parawing they could beg, borrow, or steal. They took careful notes on factors like how easy a parawing was to use, how stable, fast, and versatile they were, the features of each wing, and more. Then they compiled all that data into a single article and picked their top parawings in categories like "Best All-Around", "Most Nimble and Pack …

It's no secret that Tucker is a fan of F-One gear. It's a brand that consistently delivers, and Tucker's excitement shows through whenever he gets his hands on something new. He's already had a chance to try F-One's Plume K-Wing, a unique wing that looks like a small kiteboarding kite, and now a demo of F-One's single-skin parawing, the Frigate, has just arrived.

Welcome to the summer doldrums! Or maybe you were out in good wind, and then it dropped off.

Ozone and Flysurfer are two brands well-known for their ram-air foil kites, so it comes as no surprise that their entries into the new parawing category are some of the most popular and top-rated. With many years of experience making non-inflatable kites, both companies have a bit of a head start into the technology that's going to produce a high-performing parawing. So how do you choose between them? First off, both are great parawings. The most important thing is to pick the right size …

Parawinging has quickly gained momentum in the wing foiling community, so Tucker has decided to address some questions people are having about using a harness with them. Do I really need a harness? Which type of harness line should I use? And how do I connect a harness line to my parawing? Should I Use a Harness with My Parawing? Unlike flying a kiteboarding kite, a harness is optional when parawinging. You can use the parawing perfectly well without a harness. However, parawings can develop …

Parawings are hitting the market at a fast and furious pace, and Tucker's doing his best to get out on every one so he can share the strengths and weaknesses of each. The Stash (not to be confused with Tucker's hallmark 'stache) is Duotone's first entry into the parawing market, yet it has a unique feature no other parawings use. Duotone is known for releasing innovative, quality products, so how does its new parawing stack up? Dual Skin Wingtips Let's get right into the new feature. Althou …

Flysurfer has been making foil kites for years, so you'd expect their entry into the parawing market to be something special.

Whether you call them "hand kites" or "parawings", these soft foils are gaining a lot of momentum for their ability to get packed away and let you surf virtually hands-free without the drag of a wing floating behind you. Tucker and Jeff have been riding a lot of gear with various parawings over the past few months, and they're ready share which setups worked best for them as they transitioned from wing to parawing. If you are already a skilled winger, you've already got some gear and you ca …

Tucker's back with a review for the 2025 F-One Plume. It's a... well, he's not quite sure what to call it. It's essentially a small, strutless kite with a handle attached directly to the bridles. It flies much like a parawing, but with its inflated leading edge, it is also similar to a wing. We'll call it a "K-Wing", or maybe just the "Plume" since this hybrid kite-wing is unique. Regardless of what it is, the real question is whether it works. Why would you want this over a wing or a parawi …

It's a great time to be a foiler. Just a few years ago, kitesurfers hopped onto foilboards, and it was awesome. You could get in and out of waves and pick any spot you wanted to surf. The only downside was that the kite was always there and you could easily outrun it and find yourself dealing with loose lines. Today we've got options like winging, parawinging, and Foil Driving that allow us to use power when we need it and shut it off when we just want to surf, and many foilers are taking adva …

Tucker just got off the water with the Ensis Roger parawing and... wait. Didn't we just have that Arctic blast? Wow, that's... dedication? Madness? A bit of both?

Ensis Roger Features The molded plastic bar is sturdy and has a nice oval-shaped grip that's very easy and comfortable to hold onto without sliding around. It gives you a go …
