The Wing-Surfer Matador is Naish’s wave-specific offering in their wing lineup.

The X3 is Cabrinha’s 3rd version of the Crosswing and it has come with a ton of improvements. The most obvious is the eye-catching double strut, something that is unique in the wing industry.

Slingshot Dart
Well, I have no doubt that the readers of Tonic Mag will have already heard a lot about the Slingshot Dart. It’s the wing that Jeffrey Spencer famously landed the world first wingfoil backflip last year. At that point, there was next to no information out about this secretive wing but any wingsurf obsessive could tell that it had a…
F-One Strike
F-ONE were one of the first brands to invest in wingsurfing, and they hit the ball out of the park with the Swing. It was one of the first wings on the market that set a benchmark in terms of performance. The follow up from F-ONE is the all-new Strike, launched earlier this year; it is the wing of choice…
Ozone Wasp V2
I've always been a big fan of Ozone Kites. They've been my go-to for snowkiting and kite foiling for years now, and with their pedigree in paragliding, you always knew you were getting an incredibly high-quality product. As you can imagine, I was excited to get my hands on the Wasp V2 and put it through its paces. Out of…

The Shinn Resurector hasn’t just got a cool name, the wing itself oozes style with it’s sleek black design & splash of colour.

Slingshot Slingwing V3
After the success of the Slingwing V2, I was interested & excited to get my hands on the V3. I had specifically requested the 2.5m version as I wanted to test my own & the limits of the equipment in this incredible new sport of ours. Pumping up the wing to take photos made me realise just how small the…
Armstrong Foils V2 A-Wing
While Armstrong doesn’t have the years of experience that some of the kite brands have had it doesn’t show. The V2 A-Wing is a robust high-performance wing with all of the features we’re looking for when on the water. It comes complete with a carry bag & leash in five different sizes: 2.5m/3.5m/4.5m/5.5m and 6.5m. Here on test is the…
Slingshot SlingWing V2
Slingshot’s Slingwing V2 has had a major upgrade since the original version. It’s considerably lighter (half the weight) and has a very different feeling, in a good way! Slingshot has been in the wing game right from the beginning, their co-founder and chief designer Tony Lagosz was creating wings as early as 2011 so you know you’re in good hands.…
F-One Swing
You know you’re in good hands with F-ONE’s years of experience creating world-class kitesurf equipment and with Raphael Salles at the helm. F-ONE were one of the first brands to bring a lightweight & seriously efficient wing to the market last year. Other equipment at that time was pretty cumbersome & difficult to use, so the Swing quickly became the…
