Tucker brings a long overdue review on the Ozone PowerPack. This has been a really fun wing for him this winter, as Tucker is a big fan of it for downwinding, bigger nastier swell, and any time there's some consequence if you can't redeploy accurately and easily. Overall, the PowerPack has been fantastic through a hectic winter season where conditions were all over the place. New Bar and Bridle Updates The PowerPack has a few things going on. First: a new bar. It's similar to the bar on the Po …

Tucker is stepping out of his comfort zone of talking about wing and kite foil gear to dive into foil assist mode. He has been absolutely stoked about this new product from Zip Pod — testing it over the winter, putting it through its paces, and comparing it against regular foil drive setups and integrated masts. The Zip Pod has some really compelling reasons to like it, which is why it's what Tucker uses when he goes Foil Driving. Unboxing the Zip Pod Kit Below is a quick rundown of what …

  Tucker and Jeff are no strangers to pushing the limits and giving their honest feedback, and the 2026 Duotone Float SLS is no exception. If you’ve ridden the previous Float, this version feels like it’s been put into “sport mode” — more responsive, more efficient, and more fun when you're not strictly riding waves. First Impressions on the Water When Jeff took the new Float SLS out in Florida flat water, the first takeaway is that it drives upwind a bit bett …

The session kicks off with the Tucker hopping on the 2026 Ozone PowerPack and Omen Flux Foilboard. In this no-talking, stoke-driven ride, you'll see Michigan's winter riding conditions, small swell, and the smooth flow of parawinging. Video Observations You can see how quickly the wing catches the wind, providing immediate tension and the pull needed to get the Omen Flux board up and moving. The power delivery is smooth and consistent, allowing navigation through the initial chop to gain enoug …

Let's be honest — the first version of the Stash parawing left something to be desired. Duotone spent a lot of time refining this one with their design and pro team. After Tucker spent some serious time on the water, it's obvious that Duotone significantly upgraded their setup with thoughtful refinements. The Bar and Included Harness Line Starting at the bar, there are already some unique improvements. It looks pretty different, it also shares some similarities to their wing control bar. …

If you've seen Tucker's videos before, you know that he's been a huge fan of the PT single skin parawings, and Triple Seven has a long history of making really great parawings. When the PT Hybrid came out, he were naturally really interested. It features a nice blend of features that give a lot of versatility and ease of use. The PT Hybrid is a hybrid dual-skin/single-skin parawing. Most of the wings out there in the market are single-skin parawings, meaning the canopy is only one layer deep, …

When Cabrinha drops new boards, it's always worth paying attention, but this year is especially interesting. For 2026, Cabrinha is covering both ends of the spectrum with an all-new board and a returning, but refined favorite. The Quest is their first dedicated downwind board, and the Code is their do-it-all winging platform. Tucker and Jeff from MACkite got an early look at both. While they're waiting for the lake to warm up a bit before heading out to get a full review, the direction is …

The Cabrinha Vision has always had a loyal following, but if you've been sleeping on it because of how previous versions performed, it's time to wake up. The 2026 Vision is a ground-up redesign—and it's easily one of the most exciting wings we've had our hands on this year. Tucker and Jeff from MACkite put the new Vision through its paces, including a full session in La Ventana, Mexico. Here's everything you need to know. First Impressions | Build Quality and Aesthetics Right out o …

Your board stance can affect a lot of things when you're out on a wing and foil. Tucker and Jeff were chatting about that one morning, and Jeff was learning so much that he decided they needed to move the conversation in front of the camera so others could benefit. So, should you switch your stance in wing foiling, and when does it actually matter? Benefits of Learning Both Stances in Wing Foiling: The Short Answer Better upwind efficiency Less fatigue on longer sessions Stronger positi …

The F-One Seven Seas has been quietly doing its thing in the wing foil world for a few years now, and honestly, it doesn't get nearly enough credit. It's not flashy. It's not the foil that gets tagged in the big wave edits or the high-performance clips. But for a huge portion of wing foilers, from beginners still finding their sea legs to seasoned riders who just want to flow with the ocean on a mellow day, the Seven Seas might be the smartest foil in the quiver. Tucker and Jeff from MACkite …

Light wind days are where a lot of sessions die before they even start, and that can be hella frustrating. This is exactly where the F-One Strike CWC is built to deliver. This isn’t just a big wing. It’s a very specific tool designed to get you riding earlier and keep you riding longer. Why The Compact Wing Concept Matters The CWC, or Compact Wing Concept, is F-One’s approach to making large wings feel smaller and more manageable. Instead of simply scaling up a standard …

F-One Free Surf vs Free Downwind boards—what’s the difference, and which one is right for your riding style? From volume distribution to board shape and real-world practice, Tucker and Jeff dive deep into how these boards perform to help settle the debate between a one-board quiver or a two-board setup. TLDR; Mid-length boards have filled the gap between compact sinkers and full downwind shapes. They’re longer, more efficient, and far more versatile than traditional wing …

The 2026 lineup from F-One tightened the gap between the Eagle and the SK8 in a big way. What used to be a clearer split now comes down to how and where you ride most. Tucker and Jeff spent a lot of time on both, and what follows is a cleaned-up, real-world breakdown of how these foils actually behave on the water, not just what the specs say. The SK8: When Turning Is the Whole Point The SK8 is the foil you grab when you want to turn first and think later. What stands out right away is ho …

The latest F-One Strike V6 feels like a return to what made the Strike such a benchmark in the first place, but with a broader wind range and more refined handling. After time on the water in La Ventana and back home in the Great Lakes, Tucker and Jeff both landed in a similar spot. This is one of the most complete Strikes yet. What You Put Into It, You Get Out Of It From the first session, the Strike V6 showed its intent. This is not a passive wing — it rewards riders who engage it …

If you've spent any time around the shop listening to the crew or watching our videos, you already know how much time Jeff and Tucker have logged on the Flux platform. The original was a go-to for years. The kind of board you grab without thinking because you know it's going to work. With the Flux V2, the vibe is pretty simple: same DNA, but now it gets up easier, rides smaller, and feels even more dialed once you’re flying. And after hearing Jeff come back from La Ventana and getti …
