Tucker and Jeff Buy a Wing On Walmart Marketplace - Part 1Hey everybody, welcome back to MACkiteboarding Wing Wednesdays. Today we have a real fun one for you. We found what is probably one of the cheapest wings, not considering closeout prices. It's a wing that we bought from a Walmart.com Marketplace seller. I think they actually get it from Alibaba or something like that. It's some random Chinese knockoff sort of thing, but we figured we'd buy it, test it, review it, and give you guys t …

It's blowi …

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.

When you're pumping, especially in light …

  Yeah, what's up guys? Rygo here. For this week's video we are going to talk about wing foiling, and I am very clearly a new wing foiler. Last year I thought I was going to learn and arrogantly made my own gear choices, brought all the wrong equipment, had the worst time learning. So I finally humbled myself and had a sit-down with Tucker. I let him pick out all my gear, and that's what this video is going to be about: learning and choosing the right gear for wing foiling. I'm going to k …

Hey everybody, welcome back to MACkiteboarding Wing Wednesdays. I'm Tucker and today I'm going to tell you all about the new F-One Strike v2 for 2022. This has been a really hotly anticipated wing this year and there have been lots of questions about it. With the success of the v1 and how great of a wing that was, to say that the standards were really high would be an understatement. I think, more than anything, people have been scratching their heads, wondering how F-One was going to make t …

Out on the water riding, the experience, how the wing delivers power, what kind of power it has, what it's best suited for, how the stability is, how intuitive the wing is... I think that's really what makes a phenomenal wing and makes one stand out from another. Because there are so many in the industry now, it can be hard to pick. The Strike v1 made a name for itself by having that lift. It wanted to lift you off your feet, drag you downwind, and create that momentum immediately. It's …

Being a cooler than typical winter here in Michigan, I’ve been jonesing for a session far too long. Fresh new goodies were just sitting unused like a pile of visible regrets. After hunting for weeks for an opening in the ice, I was finally blessed with a pool which was large enough to ride in. Furthermore, the weather was actually nice at 40 deg air, 34 deg water, and sunshine. I’ll have some more formal video reviews coming in the next few weeks but wanted to get the info out ASAP for those …
