Tucker and Jeff have an early review of the 2026 Cabrinha Union foil. Cabrinha sent them some prototypes to ride, and so far they're stoked about it. Now they're ready to chat about what it is, what each wing is for, and who might want to pick this new system up. What Is the Cabrinha Union Foil System? This is a complete redesign that uses a monobloc construction, with the front and rear wing pieces each forming half of the fuselage. It's streamlined and incredibly stiff, and a few brand …

Slingshot has designed a couple new foilboards for 2026, and Tucker and Jeff are pretty excited about them. When you think of Slingshot's Craft line of boards, you might envision a chicken nugget shape, but they've gone back to the drawing board with the Flow Craft and Glide Craft. These have been updated with a sleeker surfy approach and a clean white top that gives off surfboard vibes. What's the difference between them, and how do they feel out on the water? Flow Craft: Construction T …

Tucker's been out on one of the most anticipated products of the year, the FLITELab AMPJet. He grabbed the versatile 4'8" AMP S board, which works for prone surf, wing, and downwind, and after a few sessions, he's stoked at how it really is a one-board quiver. Now he's ready to share some tips, what the system is, how it works, and whether it's worth it. What's the AMP S Board Like? The 4'8" board is the largest of the three sizes in the AMP S series. It's 40 liters and 20 inches wide, w …

Tucker just got in a session at his favorite (and top-secret) dockstarting spot with the new Ensis Maniac Stride pump foil and Hip Hop Pro board, and he was pleasantly surprised at how good it was for someone as bad as he was at dockstarting. Not that he's a complete novice, but he'd much rather have a wing in his hands and just doesn't put much time into dockstarting. There are those pesky days that are flat across the board, though, so having a decent pumping foil in your back pocket is …

You just unboxed your new FLITELab AMPJet and are ready to head to the beach. Well... you're ready, but is your AMPJet? Not quite. Tucker thought he was, got everything set up at the lake, and then realized he'd missed an important step and had to go back. To make sure your trip from unboxing to first ride is as smooth as possible, Tucker has put together this list of setup tips. What Should You Do Before You Leave Home? 1. Check for Updates This is the step that sent Tucker packing. Wit …

Late this past winter, Tucker got a special delivery in. It was the SuperMarine foilboard, a board he'd designed with Omen to meet the needs of riders who wanted a board like the Flux but needed something a bit larger for light wind, added stability for newer riders, or more volume for larger riders. In his video about the Supermarine, Tucker mentioned that he'd still like to see it in more sizes. Well, the Big Mama has arrived. You can now get the SuperMarine in a whopping 120L, and it's …

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 …

It's been a minute since Tucker has done a Unifoil review. But lately he's been out ripping on the new Evolution front wing, so now's the perfect opportunity to correct that and bring an update on what's one of his favorite brands to ride. Of course, that endorsement has to be tempered with the fact that this is a high-end foil with a price tag to match, so the question, as always, is whether the added performance justifies the cost. What's a Good Setup with the Unifoil Evolution Wing? O …

The SABfoil Sea Devil is a wing that looks a bit like a B-2 bomber at first glance, which is pretty cool in and of itself. It's not the first monofoil to hit the market, but it's got a twist that makes this wing more accessible than others. Tucker and Jeff were able to get demos of the 840 and 1040, and they put them through their paces. What Is the Sea Devil? The Sea Devil is a monocoque foil design with an optional stabilizer. The idea is that it's two foils in one, as it has completely di …

Slingshot has a new stabilizer in its One-Lock lineup, and we'll be honest... it's not for everyone. But if it is for you, you are going to have a blast with it. This one is for the rippers, no doubt about it. Tucker took it for a spin to see who the new Flare tail is for, and who it is not for. What Is the Slingshot One-Lock Flare? The Flare is a stabilizer, or tail, for the One-Lock foil system. It's a monocoque design, so it's one piece with the fuselage, which is really quite short on th …

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 …

Slingshot's Glide 1525 for the One Lock System is a fairly big wing, also known as the XXL Glide. It's the largest in the Glide lineup, and Tucker has been out playing on it. He thinks it is going to be a popular choice for a variety of riders, but will it be right for you? What Is the Slingshot Glide 1525? As you've probably gathered from its name, this wing is 1525cm2 in area. It has a 1169mm span and an aspect ratio of 9, which makes it a mid-high aspect foil. It's not a massive wing, bu …

Tucker's been on a lot of different foils at this point, so it takes something pretty special to get him excited. The Code 1250R High Modulus front wing is one such foil. Tucker has dubbed it the "Monster Glider Setup" when paired with the long fuselage and the 151R stabilizer, and it does indeed let you fly like a pelican for miles with almost no power, whether that's wind, wave, or pumping. Design Features The 1250R has a wide span of 1275mm (50.2in), a very high aspect ratio of 13.0, and …

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 …

Mid-length foilboards are rapidly growing in popularity and could soon dominate the market, especially as a second board for your quiver. F-One has responded with three offerings in the category, each with a distinct appeal. Jeff and Tucker were able to get their hands on the pre-production models and take them for a spin, and now they're ready to share some early insights on what each one does and who it's for. What Is Mid-Length? Mid-length is a rather broad term that can apply to a variety …
