Airush FreeWing V2 Overview
This is Tucker from MACkiteboarding with Mr. Jeff, and today we're going to talk to you about the Airush Freewing V2. We'll start with an overview, and then we will do a quick review.
Overview
Tucker: The Freewing V2 from Airush and Starboard is a very nice do-it-all wing. It's really compact, and the frame itself is quite thick and stiff, so even as a heavier rider, I can ride with more power and it's going to hold its shape, which is really nice. When you're pumping, es

Wing Foiling Northern Michigan
What's up, guys? I'm Rygo.
