Foiling is hard; it’s a journey just to take up this sport. You have to have the desire to put the hard yards in to learn. Rou Chater salutes those who are on the pathway to foiling nirvana. No matter where you are on that road, the fact that you’re on it is what counts.
Crystal-clear water, steady trade winds and a tropical island backdrop make St Martin one of the Caribbean’s most enticing foiling destinations. We discover what makes this island so special, from its incredible riding conditions to the laid-back lifestyle that keeps visitors coming back year after year.
Adventure, exploration and a passion for discovering new places are at the heart of The Drifter Project. We follow another inspiring journey as the search for perfect conditions leads to unforgettable sessions, stunning scenery and the kind of experiences that keep us all dreaming of the next trip.
For those of you that enjoy a spot of gardening, Wing foiling gybes are like courgettes. Once you’ve got the first one, they come at you thick and fast, an invasion of possibilities and challenges.
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.
When Cabrinha released the Prestige foil using the new Union system, it created plenty of conversation, a new connection, a stiffer mast and a redesigned range of wings promising a step forward in performance. But the real story only appears once riders start putting hours on the water in real conditions. Over the past few months, we have been hearing from foilers around the world riding the Prestige in everything from small wind swell to long downwind runs, and the feedback has been remarkably consistent.
The race gybe is one of the most stylish and practical turns in wingfoiling, blending speed, control and smooth power management into one fluid move. While it can look similar to a duck gybe, the key differences lie in the wing handling and timing, and once dialled in, it opens up a fast, efficient and seriously satisfying way to turn.
Rou Chater sits down with Jon Modica to get technical on The Foil Pod. Check out the full episode on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. The Union Connection System was one of the most talked-about designs at the recent AWSI event in the US, and it is now available to the public, too. Read on to learn the story behind this new direction for the brand and their foils.
This issue it’s all about function. Without wanting to encourage you to head out on your weekly shop to the supermarket in a pair of aggressively soled Salomons , sporting a quick dry and easy wash bamboo t-shirt, and dare we reach so far as a pair of convertible Goretex trousers, there is room, time and cause in life for such brilliantly practical items, (convertible trousers exempt of course). Toeside pumping is your winging equivalent! It won’t win you many style points, but when push comes to shove, you’ll be the one laughing all the way onto your foil.
It’s getting pretty cold for the test team now, but they are still out there making the best of it! Wings and Foils for you from Cabrinha and AFS as we start to see some of the 2026 gear make it into our hands!
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.
