One of RRD’s most advanced wings yet, using next-gen materials, this is a precision tool for riders who demand direct power, uncompromising stiffness, and top-end control.
View Test >>Available in a comprehensive 12 sizes, this is a true multi-discipline targeting affair, spanning the different genres of foiling effortlessly and offering a decent level of accessibility.
View Test >>This is perfect for riders who frequently get close to foil wings, fins or reefs and are looking for something more protective than just Lycra but less bulky than neoprene.
View Test >>Thanks to its simplicity, intuitive handling, and high performance, this will suit almost any rider, from ambitious beginners to experienced pros into freeride, freestyle or just cruising.
View Test >>This highly versatile, balanced and easy-to-use freeride wing really excels, and is more comfortable than its Aluula brother without compromising performance.
View Test >>This is a wetsuit that feels tailor-made for foilers. It's clearly designed for demanding riders who want high performance without sacrificing sustainability.
View Test >>These two boards make an epic combo: The Downwind S-TEC for paddling up and chasing lines, and the M-Winger PRO for lightwind wing sessions and tighter freeride foiling.
View Test >>The Mantis Apex's crisp power delivery, high stability when flagged, and ease of handling make for a performant and versatile freeride wing which will please a huge range of riders.
View Test >>If you're chasing that racing feel but also want a wing that can handle freeride, jumping and cruising with ease, the Mode Pro should be at the top of your list.
View Test >>The Pure Team wing is a fantastic choice for almost any rider, especially those who enjoy exploring multiple disciplines but don’t want to invest in a different wing for each one.
View Test >>The Boost Ultra proved it does what it is supposed to. It doesn’t ride the board for you or change your fundamentals. It just gives you more to work with.
View Test >>The AK Phazer V5 Active Carbon made me want to foil more, to try different disciplines in one session, and it’s the kind of board you grow into, not out of.
View Test >>Armstrong have pulled a magic trick retaining that top end and hard carving ability but rounded off the bottom end, making it far more accessible to the masses.
View Test >>The Mystic Evolve is an extremely comfortable suit, and the 3/2mm we tested is far warmer than equivalent price-point suits from across brands without the eco-credentials.
View Test >>Its directness underfoot and translation of the foil feel is best in class, and we think a lot of that magic comes from the deck construction.
View Test >>Whether you're cruising bumps or linking turns, the new AFS Stream delivers a super clean, connected experience.
View Test >>The FreeWing AIR Team V5 offers one of the most direct, responsive, and controlled winging experiences on the market today.
View Test >>The AXIS MAKO is a top tier option for riders who want premium custom board quality and features from a production design.
View Test >>With Slingshot’s One Lock system, it’s sort of a choose-your-own-adventure way to think about a session now.
View Test >>Wingman's boutique in-house manufacturing and bespoke brand agility let them develop and test fast and produce some incredibly versatile and effective products.
View Test >>The FireFly is the perfect companion for riders at all levels, while the Pro version gives you that top-tier performance without making you work harder for it.
View Test >>These are top-notch foils for riders looking to mix high-performance carving with very versatile use across both surf and wing disciplines.
View Test >>With the Sea Devil, SABfoil has delivered not just a foil, but a vision for the sport – one that prioritizes playfulness and progression.
View Test >>Overall, both boards have a spot in any quiver. The construction feels bomber and able to withstand multiple seasons of travel and abuse.
