Issue 28

Perhaps our biggest test section ever, and one of the reasons this issue took a little longer to get over the line. We put the latest wings from Armstrong, Cabrinha, Ozone and Starboard through their paces, alongside two of the hottest new parawings on the market: the Ozone Pocket Rocket V2 and Power Pack. Jack Galloway also gets his downwind fix aboard the new Starboard MF foil, while we round things off with a look at Armstrong’s latest Performance masts.

Foiling has a way of cutting through the noise. In a world that often feels chaotic and unpredictable, time on the water offers something simple, a reset, a sense of freedom and a reminder of why we do this in the first place. As the season shifts and the opportunities to ride open up, there has never been a better time to be all in.

Wing foil racing is still one of the newest and fastest evolving corners of the sport, and few riders have had a better view of that development than Mathis Ghio. With a background in windsurfing and sailing, a sharp race brain and a growing role in the development of Ozone’s Fusion wings, Mathis sits right at the point where elite performance meets innovation. We caught up with him to talk about how he got started, why racing hooked him so quickly, what it feels like to hit over 40 knots on a wing, and where he thinks the sport is heading next.

Foiling is evolving faster than almost any other watersport on the planet. New disciplines appear almost yearly, gear continues to improve and riders are discovering entirely new ways to use wind and swell. But while the technology is moving quickly, the biggest shift in the sport may actually be who is getting involved. Former professional kiteboarder Sensi Graves has found herself at the centre of that change, not just as a passionate foiler, but as someone helping open the door for more women and newcomers through coaching, community events and her own journey balancing life on the water with motherhood.

Jack Galloway is pumped on parawings this issue. Jack's a fantastic downwind foiler, whether that’s with a paddle, chipping in on a prone board or dock starting out to the bumps. The parawing is the latest tool in his box that’s allowing him even more time on the water, and helping with logistics, while also acting as a safety backup too! This is well worth a read if you are para-inclined, para-curious or para-sold…

Rou Chater sits down with Connor Bainbridge, racer, Olympian, designer and now hopelessly addicted to wing foiling. The full interview is available on Spotify and all the usual podcast platforms, and there is a full video on our YouTube channel.

When winter drags on and the summer season still feels distant, there’s one event that brings gear, water sports culture and adrenaline all under one roof: boot Düsseldorf. Running 17–25 January 2026 at Messe Düsseldorf, boot transforms a convention centre into a full-on surf and watersports playground, and this edition looks set to be one of the biggest yet.

The original Ozone Flux set a new standard in wing design, balancing stiffness, speed, and usability across all disciplines. Now the Flux V2 refines that formula, with both a Dacron build and an Ultra-X Aluula frame. Rou Chater has been testing both to see how they perform in real conditions. Find out more in this Tech Focus: Ozone Flux V2 vs. Flux V2 Ultra-X feature.
