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 …

Reedin's SuperNatural wing is back for 2025. Last year's model was a shop favorite, so how does the 2025 version hold up? Jeff and Tucker have had a few sessions with it to see if it still has the SuperNatural magic that made them fall in love with this wing and fight over who got to keep it in their car. Is the 2025 Reedin SuperNatural As Good As the 2024? In a word, yes. Jeff was such a fan of the SuperNatural that he even asked Damien not to change too much for 2025. Whether we have J …

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 …

The SABfoil Sea Devil is a wing that looks a bit like a B-2 bomber at first glance, which is pretty cool in and of itself. It's not the first monofoil to hit the market, but it's got a twist that makes this wing more accessible than others. Tucker and Jeff were able to get demos of the 840 and 1040, and they put them through their paces. What Is the Sea Devil? The Sea Devil is a monocoque foil design with an optional stabilizer. The idea is that it's two foils in one, as it has completely di …

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 …

Slingshot has a new stabilizer in its One-Lock lineup, and we'll be honest... it's not for everyone. But if it is for you, you are going to have a blast with it. This one is for the rippers, no doubt about it. Tucker took it for a spin to see who the new Flare tail is for, and who it is not for. What Is the Slingshot One-Lock Flare? The Flare is a stabilizer, or tail, for the One-Lock foil system. It's a monocoque design, so it's one piece with the fuselage, which is really quite short on th …

The amount of innovation we've seen lately in foilboarding makes our sport incredibly exciting. It wasn't too long ago that wings arrived as an alternate option to kites, and we're just starting to see parawings become popular for surf foiling. Lots of us love to explore new locations, but innovations like downwind and midi boards don't travel well, and we're forced to compromise with inflatables or smaller boards. Nigel Thompson has spent the last two years trying to solve this problem for …

Slingshot's Glide 1525 for the One Lock System is a fairly big wing, also known as the XXL Glide. It's the largest in the Glide lineup, and Tucker has been out playing on it. He thinks it is going to be a popular choice for a variety of riders, but will it be right for you? What Is the Slingshot Glide 1525? As you've probably gathered from its name, this wing is 1525cm2 in area. It has a 1169mm span and an aspect ratio of 9, which makes it a mid-high aspect foil. It's not a massive wing, bu …

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. The POW, or "Pop Open Wing" is available now, and Tucker's been checking it out on the water. It does have some unique features, but how does that translate into performance? Bar Flysurfer's parawing bar incorporates a pistol grip, giving it an "L" shape. It's ergonomic and gives you a lot of control. The bar is light and narrow, which also helps make it very comforta …

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 been on a lot of different foils at this point, so it takes something pretty special to get him excited. The Code 1250R High Modulus front wing is one such foil. Tucker has dubbed it the "Monster Glider Setup" when paired with the long fuselage and the 151R stabilizer, and it does indeed let you fly like a pelican for miles with almost no power, whether that's wind, wave, or pumping. Design Features The 1250R has a wide span of 1275mm (50.2in), a very high aspect ratio of 13.0, and …

Parawinging is really starting to take off, but it's still new territory in the foiling world and there aren't many resources to help you choose the right parawing yet. Tucker and Jeff have had the luxury of using the shop's gear to dial in their ideal quivers and have also started to get feedback from customers, and now they're ready to share what worked as they got a feel for parawinging and what they moved to as they progressed. Size Range Parawings can be found anywhere from 1.5m on up …

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 …

Mid-length, or "midi" boards, have gained a lot of traction in the past couple years. They're versatile and often make a great second board for progressing foilers. The KT Ginxu Super K was released last year, and it was one of Tucker and Jeff's favorites. So how does the 2025 model stack up? Has anything changed? Actually, yeah. Pretty much everything has changed, other than its classification as a mid-length board. It's a great board for the right rider, but if you loved the 2024 model and …
