Wing Foiling, SUP and Surf Surf Foil Reviews
North Swell
Introducing the Swell, a dedicated prone surf foilboard that is designed for optimal performance in the waves. With its lightweight yet durable hybrid carbon construction and high-density dual stringers, the Swell offers a stiff, responsive, and maneuverable ride.

Cabrinha Bump
Prone foiling has been a part of the hydrofoil riding scene ever since modern day hydrofoils came into play. In the beginning, it posed a great challenge to figure out how to ride and foil properly. However, the barriers have been broken down and now, with the right equipment and board, anyone can enjoy the world of prone foiling. The...
Armstrong Foils WKT
Armstrong has gone from strength to strength and clearly take it seriously when they release new equipment. I have no doubt that R&D is done exceptionally carefully, so that they release only the highest quality products.

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...

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....
