Your stance while foiling any craft is a key for the highest performance and ease of use. In this blog we will go over the basics of your stance as it relates to your front and back foot offset from the centerline. If you’re on a smaller wing keeping your feet closer to the center line. About an inch or two. If you’re riding a larger wing in lighter wind conditions you’ll want to have your feet offset by two to four inches. Your leading food will be near the heelside edge whil …

  Light wind windsurfing / wingfoiling can be challenging, to say the least. Like kitesurfing, it takes a great deal of time to develop the skill set. The biggest challenge in light wind foiling is simply getting up onto foil. A well-practiced wing pumping technique, paired with foil pumping skills, is going to make all the difference. For this quick tutorial, we're going to cover the skills needed to pump maximum power into your wing. Right now, I find that with these techniques I can add …

We were able to get our hands on the  Cabrinha Crosswing X2 for testing this month. Right out of the gate, it's clear this is an upgrade from the first gen Cabrinha wing which, to be honest, was our least favorite. For the second generation, they have done their homework and made a great competitive wing. The wing has a lot of power for its size. I had the chance to test this on a gusty inland lake with lulls of 14 and highs of 25. When pumping the wing, I found there was a lot of …

This summer, I’ve been using the 4 and the 5m Airush freewing. These are solid chunky wings with some surprises up their sleeve. They are medium to low aspect wings with a not so large wingspan that makes whipping and flipping them around a breeze while doing more advanced maneuvers. The graphics are basic and clean with a mature look that I think are kind of cool in its own right. The windows are quite large and they sit really far forward on the wing.Windows are not all that useful to me pers …

Wing foiling has officially taken off. This new and exciting sport is really resonating with riders from SUP, surf, kite, wake, wind, and more. Right now knowledge is limited or skewed and choosing the right gear is necessary to have a good time. Building off of our first wind wing comparison video and blog about the Slingshot Slingwing, Naish Wing Surfer, and Duotone Wing Foil, this blog will detail the differences and benefits of the two most popular wings in the market right now, the Ozone Wa …

  Last week, we covered the best boards for wingfoiling. This week, we wanted to touch on everything that goes beneath the board. Mast length Mast length is important for wingfoiling. When first starting, you might think that starting with a shorter mast like kite foiling is the answer. However, if you use a shorter mast, something like a 15 inch, you’re going to have a rough go at it. Even if you know how to foil, while learning the wing, you’ll be bouncing around quite a bi …

  Wing foiling, wing surfing, hand kite, wing ding.... whatever you call this hot new sport, everyone wants to talk about it but not many people have firsthand knowledge. We have been fortunate enough to have gotten some prototypes in late spring from most of our brands, and I can tell you we are hooked, although we were skeptical at first, thinking it might be too difficult, need tons of wind, or just get boring after the novelty wore off.    After a couple sessions, progressin …
