Jeff and Tucker are kicking off a three-part video series dedicated to light wind riding. If you live somewhere in North America — or anywhere else — where there isn't always a lot of wind, you still want to get out on the water, enjoy the sunshine, and make the most of those light breezes. This first discussion is all about the boards that make light wind wing foiling possible. The Evolution of Light Wind Wing Boards When wing foiling first came out, light wind riding wasn't reall …

Ready to start building your own wing foil quiver? The Reedin Wing Pack was designed from the ground up for exactly that moment. Wing foiling has a reputation for being a gear-heavy sport with a steep learning curve and an expensive entry ticket. Reedin's new Wing Pack is a direct response to both of those concerns. Built around three purpose-built components, it bundles a wing, a foil, and a board into a single, thoughtfully priced package aimed squarely at riders coming out of lessons a …

If you're riding an Appletree board, you already know the quality is there. The construction is dialed, the shapes are refined, and the finish is clean. But even the best gear needs a little love to stay that way. Appletree co-founder Wieger Buurma recently broke down his top board maintenance tips—and they're straightforward enough that there's no excuse for letting your board go to hell. Here's what you need to know. Shop Appletree Understanding the Coat 25 Finish Appletree boar …

Tucker's back with a very special product announcement: the Ozone Mission Pack, a parawing backpack designed for carrying your kit and an extra wing or two when you're out downwinding. It's something that Tucker has been using it for everyday riding, especially when parawinging. In this video, he breaks down who the Ozone Mission Pack is for, its composition, and how it benefits most riders. Construction and Materials The Mission Pack is an ultra-lightweight double ripstop pack made from the s …

Modern hydrofoil design has reached a point where "one foil does it all" is no longer the move. The best brands are building with intention, and F-One is one of the clearest examples of that shift in the current market. Their Sk8, Eagle, and Seven Seas front wings each carry a distinct personality, a clear purpose, and a specific type of rider in mind. Understanding those differences is not just useful knowledge. It is the difference between buying a foil you love and buying one that sits in th …

Jeff and Tucker brewk down the new Ozone Flow V2, a brand known for building very durable wings with excellent quality in both production and design — almost everything they put out is highly refined and known for its subtle performance, with nothing that screams out at you or looks weird. Just solid, proven designs. While the Flow V2 might look like your average wing at first glance, it's definitely not your average wing. Build Quality and Features The Flow V2 builds on the reputation o …

Aaron and Kevin (WMFG) sat down to chat about the WMFG 1.0E Electric Kite/Wing/SUP Pump. Here, they chat about features, the benefits of electric pumps, and its travel-friendly design. The Shift to Electric Pumps Waterman Manufacturing (WMFG) has been in the pump game for a few years now, and from the jump, it was clear that electric pumps were going to be the future. With battery technology improving across every industry, the team at WMFG spent three years finding the right partner and devel …

Tucker and Jeff are taking a look at a brand new board from KT called the Arc. The board shown in the review is a sample prototype, so the graphics look a little different, but the shape and dimensions are identical to the production models. Jeff received the board a week prior and took it down to Florida, riding the causeways on the Indian River to get a feel for it. Premium Pro Carbon Construction The Arc features KT's highest level of Pro Carbon construction, making it a premium, lightweigh …

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 …
