Wing Foiling, SUP and Surf Hydrofoil Boards Reviews
Naish Hover Wing Foil Carbon Ultra
Naish has been at the forefront of design & performance since wingfoiling started over two years ago. I remember taking in every last one of Robby Naish’s words in his first YouTube video discussing the brand new sport of wingsurfing. There is no doubt that they have carried on that trend with the Hover Wing Foil Carbon Ultra. For a…
Harlem Kitesurfing Wingman
As the wingfoil market continues its rapid growth, we see innovation at an almost unthinkable pace! It's an exciting time to be a winger, and even more so when we see a totally unique take on a common product arrive on the market! The team over at Harlem Kitesurfing hasn't been in the wing game long, but their SuperFly V2…

F-One Rocket Wing S
F-ONE is 100% committed to wing foiling and its future, you can’t deny this when looking at how much new, specific, and outstanding equipment they’ve released this year. The ROCKET WING S is just that. An addition to their ROCKET WING boards, that has been inspired by their ROCKET SURF prone boards. Without meaning to point out the obvious, ’S’…

F-One Rocket Surf
Right now, I’m frothing on all things prone foiling. So when the Rocket Surf 4’6 arrived through my door I was buzzing to get it on the water (when the waves arrived!). F-ONE has carefully designed this board with surf foiling in mind, so a lot of the features are really specific to the discipline. First things first, it looks…
Freedom Foil Boards Wingnut
On test this issue is the Wingnut, FFB’s latest offering to the market, and it’s a well-thought-out product. Freedom has taken their knowledge in prone foiling board design and applied it to winging, with great success. The Wingnut has a quad concave channel, volume up front, a step tail, and many other features. The board on test here is the…
F-One Rocket SUP Downwind
SUP foil downwinding is taking the world by storm, well, the foiling world at least. It feels like every other video right now is Jeremy Riggs doing flat water paddle up, James Casey sending it hundreds of kilometres, or your mates, trying & failing to get on foil. So it was hard to hide my excitement when the 6’2 F-ONE…
Freedom Foil Boards FTW Pro
On The Water The Freedom Foil Board FTW Pro is Brian Finch’s pro model, FTW standing for ‘Foil The World’, which is his popular Instagram handle. Coincidentally, you can read our interview with Brian in this issue. The board has been designed, in conjunction with Brian, with progressive prone foiling in mind. Made to match his ‘connect & release’ style.…

Ride Engine Moon Buddy
Having already been addicted to the 45L Ride Engine Dad Board I was super excited to get my hands on a Moon Buddy. Ride Engine sent me the 5’0, 80L board, 26” width, 4.6” thickness. There is also a 6’0 & 7’0 board to account for all sizes & abilities. I suppose the first thing that caught my attention is…
AK Durable Supply Co. Phazer
The AK Phazer is one of those boards that a couple of years ago you wouldn’t even be able to imagine existing. Fast forward to 2021, and it’s a reality! From a wing perspective, the high volume shortboard design is brilliant. The AK Phazer is also a prone foiling board, kiteboard and pump foil board, depending on the size you…
Armstrong Foils Forward Geometry Wing Surf Board
The attention to detail with all Armstrong gear is next level, and this board is no different. There has clearly been a lot of time put into the development of this board to create many unique and effective features. I’ll start with the ‘Forward Geometry’ design, what Armstrong has essentially done here is install a longer box into the board.…
Ride Engine Dad Board
The first thing you notice when you see this board is how awesome it looks; it is truly a stunning piece of craftsmanship. Before I go into my experiences on the water, however here is what Ride Engine have to say about the Dad Board: “Don’t let the name fool you. This friendly, early planning, the rock-solid stable shape is…
