As foiling continues to evolve, the conversation around safety is changing too. Helmets designed specifically for dynamic water sports are starting to appear, and Ride Engine’s new Charger helmet is one of the latest. We caught up with Gary Siskar to take a closer look at the thinking behind the design.
For issue 27 of Tried and Tested, we have the new Armstrong UHA foils on test, plus the team put the latest ION Seek Select 5.5/4.5mm Hood Front Zip wetsuit through its paces in some freezing conditions. They were also testing the all-new Mystic Legacy Helmet and the Ride Engine Air Box Mini electric pump!
For years, pumping up a wing, kite or SUP has been one of those unavoidable rituals that quietly steals time and energy. Manual pumps have improved incrementally, but the basic experience has remained the same: bending over, pushing hard against resistance, checking pressure by eye with a far-from-accurate analogue gauge, and the only real positive is the warm-up. The Air Box Mini from Ride Engine is set to change all that!
Ride Engine’s harness range has something for every rider, from minimalist waist styles to chest harnesses built for downwind missions. We caught up with Gary Siskar to break down the Bati, Vinaka, Vinaka Pro, Free Float, and Offshore Pack.

Rou Chater looks at the pros and cons of the humble harness, an accessory adopted by windsurfers in the late 1970s and used ubiquitously across pretty much every wind-powered sport ever since—until winging came along, that is. When you consider the benefits of a harness, it’s often hard to comprehend why they aren’t more widely used…
