Wing Foiling, SUP and Surf Reviews
AFS Foils Blackbird
As I mentioned in the editorial, I was super excited to get a hold of the AFS Blackbird and dive head-first into the fascinating sport of SUP downwinding. The board has a high-aspect design, with notable volume on the nose of the board. The board's triaxial carbon construction, low drag design, and Y configuration footstrap inserts are designed to provide…
Ozone Fly V1
The Fly V1 is the most recent wing from Ozone; it's their entry-level wing. It features a lower aspect ratio, designed to reduce the wing tips catching when you're learning.

Does it live up to the tagline? “This foil doesn’t just turn; it carves!” The Sk8 is a performance mid-to-high aspect foil (A/R: 8.0) available in sizes from 550 to 1050 cm2.…

The Armstrong DW board is designed to provide exceptional performance for downwind SUP foiling, light wind winging, SUP surf foiling, and prone downwinding. The range comprises five sizes, providing plenty of options for a range of rider weights and…
Naish ADX
Naish was one of the first brands to see the potential of Wing-surfing. With the of their first Wing-Surfer in the spring of 2019, I remember Robby himself assuring dealers that the market would be flooded with products by the end of that year. He foresaw every kite brand, as well as new wing brands, having a variety of offerings.…
