Tucker's back with a review of the Pocket Rocket Version 2 from Ozone — a follow-up to what was arguably the most popular parawing of last year. The V1 became a staple in our shop and in many riders' lineups, so when V2 was announced, we were crossing our fingers that Ozone wouldn't ruin the special attributes of the original. That said, there were also some changes we wanted to see as the sport progresses and we ask different things from our wings. The Upgraded Bar System Starting with …

Jeff is joined by Nate, a North ambassador and the "Tri-Cities semi-pro", to do a breakdown of a new foil in the North lineup. Nate has spent the last couple of years riding the SF 830 in almost all conditions, occasionally switching to the 1080 for lighter winds. Overall, the SF 830 is an amazing surf wing that turns sharp and hard while maintaining balance and a nice feel. It offers better glide and pump when connecting waves compared to other front foils in the 830 size range. Transitioning …

If you've ever climbed onto a foilboard and thought, "Where am I even supposed to put my feet?" you're not alone. Stance is one of the biggest factors in how quickly you get up when wing foiling, how stable you feel, and how efficiently you ride. Jeff and Tucker had a chat to break it all down, from knee placement to foot positioning to subtle adjustments in your stance that can completely change how your foil feels. We've pulled out the best tidbits here, but feel free to give the video …

Jeff gets asked a lot of questions about traveling with wing foil gear: What bag should you take? What are the airlines going to charge? What should you generally bring on a trip? Fortunately, he has had some experience packing his own gear over the last couple of years, and he's going to go over what he's learned through travel using the Manera 747 travel bag. Choosing the Right Bag: Manera 747 vs. Wing Foil Bag Manera makes two travel bags: the Manera 747 and the Manera Wing Foil Bag. Jeff h …

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 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 …

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 …

Skip is one of the OG kiteboarders here in West Michigan, so when he finds a piece of gear he really likes, we pay attention. Today it's... a windbreaker? Yep, and according to Skip, it can be a real session saver during those shoulder-season months when the water is still relatively warm but the wind has a bite to it. What Is the Mystic Gust Windbreaker? The Mystic Gust is a windbreaker designed specifically for watersports. It cuts the chill from the breeze when a thicker wetsuit would …

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 …

This isn't just a grab bag of existing entry-level gear. Damien Girardin created each piece specifically to make winging budget-friendly and easy for beginners while still delivering performance as your skills grow. "I didn't want to make somethi …

The Reedin SuperNatural has been a rider favorite for a while now, and for good reason. It's one of those wings that works for almost everyone. It's easy, balanced, and versatile. Now we're looking at V5, and the big question is: How do you make something better when it's already really good? Jeff caught up with Damien Girardin in Tarifa to dig into what's changed, and what you'll actually notice on the water. So, What's New? The short answer? It's lighter. Noticeably lighter. But the in …

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 …
