If you've had the chance to foil on a wave, then you know what it's like to float on a cloud. It's an amazing feeling that'll keep pulling you back to the water every chance you get. Those sessions are all about getting on as many waves as you can, whether they're overhead ocean waves, lake swell, or bumps on a reservoir, and a good wing is going to get you where you need to be and then hang patiently out of the way. There are a lot of wing choices in 2025. Although we're only a few years …

When the guys first caught wind of the Waka folding foilboard this past winter, they were, shall we say... cautiously optimistic. It looked like one of those ideas that sounded good in theory, but ultimately turned out to be gimmicky. We've had split boards for kiteboarding, windsurfing, paddleboarding, and surfing for decades now, and all have fallen short, so the odds of success for a folding foilboard didn't seem too high. It might be heavy, expensive, and give up a lot of performance …

Jeff wants to make sure everyone's in the loop about a small but mighty product that will make your life easier on and off the water, especially if you're a winger. The name is a mouthful for its size: PKS Quick Connect Pigtail with Stopper Ball. You get four of them in the pack, and that's a good thing because you'll find so many ways to use them. What's a Lark's Head Loop? Before you can use these, you'll need to be familiar with making a lark's head loop. While it's not as exciting as …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

MACkite has a new addition to the crew and the winging team, but Skip is no stranger to wind sports or even the shop. Follow along as Jeff and Ryan ask Skip about his journey on the water and how it led to winging. What challenges did he face, and did his prior experience help? Skipping Across the Water Skip is far from a new face around MACkite. As a windsurfer, he thought this new kiteboarding thing looked interesting and asked his local kite shop if they'd be bringing any kiteboarding ge …

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 …
