ION Rave Harness and Long John

The ION Rave harness does a great job of relieving fatigue on longer sessions and transferring that load to your waist rather than your arms, and for summer comfort, the long johns and jacket combo makes a fabulously practical pairing.

Triton X-1 Mono Foil

Riders that are willing to adapt to a new foil concept will unlock a new level of fun in smaller waves or flat water, and new foilers will appreciate the simplicity and safety of the monofoil design.

Eleveight WFS V4

The WFS V4 is an impressive wing that enhances the thrill of pure freeride wingfoiling. Its sleek design, excellent maneuverability, impressive power, stability, and durability make it a solid choice for both beginners and experienced riders.

Tabou Tiny

Overall the Tiny lives up to its name, and the board's low volume and excellent construction and design provide a balanced and truly impressive riding experience.

RRD Beluga LTD (+ Helmet & Impact Vest)

The Beluga LTD is a solid responsive board that has been made to cater for pushing the limits of your riding, be it freestyle or wave riding with the design features catering towards recovery and forgiving touchdowns.

View Test >>

AXIS ART PRO 1201

It initiates turns far more eagerly in the roll axis, it’s far more stable on tip breaches, and for a foil with so much span feels incredibly agile. We can’t wait to get a spin on the smaller sizes...

View Test >>

North SF-Series SF930

Having such a broad speed spectrum and good low end makes these wings incredibly fun for landing jumps, lightwind winging, and downwinding. For foilers that are looking for a solid all-around kit they won’t outgrow, the SF series is a great option.

View Test >>

Ozone Fly V1

Its simple to initiate on and off power characteristics, and high levels of stability made it a wing we would happily grab particularly when the conditions look dubious, as you know it’s going to handle it with grace.

View Test >>

FreeWing AIR V3

Without having to choose between soft and hard handles, the FreeWing AIR V3’s appeal and its scope of use is broad. It’s a wing you can throw into pretty much any situation with predictable results and a worthy upgrade to the FreeWing series.

View Test >>

Appletree Apple Skipper Wing

If your focus is wave riding, and you want to make more radical and tight turns, lose board swing weight alongside air resistance without a huge compromise in low end, then look no further.

View Test >>

Indiana 3’7 Pump Foil

This board is excellent for pump foiling. What also stands out in this board is the incredibly light and strong carbon construction, giving the rider an incredible level of feedback from the foil.

View Test >>

Takuma Kujira II

We found the Kurija II to be an excellent step forward, both in terms of the new direction with the set-up, but also in terms of the relative ease of use coupled with impressive performance characteristics.

View Test >>

Naish Matador LT

The original Matador was a wave machine through and through, the Matador LT takes that to a new level. It is the perfect option for riders looking for a great wave riding wing that is lightweight and simple.

View Test >>

GA Foils Poison

If you are looking for a radical, performance-driven wing with exceptional wave-riding capabilities the Poison is an excellent option for riders of all skill levels.

View Test >>

Slingshot Flying Fish V2

This is an excellent board for riders looking for a one-board quiver, prone foilers that want to catch waves easily, or wingfoilers looking for a board that will facilitate the deep-water start.

View Test >>

Fliteboard Ultra L

With this high-performance board, dual drive propulsion option, and now three different battery sizes to choose from, Flite has covered all bases in providing one of the most performance-oriented and customizable e-foils available.

View Test >>

CORE Roamer 70L

The 70L Roamer is a great board for wave riding and freestyle winging thanks to its compact size. In larger sizes it would make a great light wind or beginner board thanks to its design and bottom shape, and really complements CORE’s total freeride package.

RANGE REVIEW: North Sonar MA series

As a steppingstone in the North foil ecosystem between the all-out beginner Reflex wings and the more technical to ride HA system, the MA provides a perfect middle ground.

View Test >>

RANGE REVIEW: Fliteboard Series 3

The refinement of these products is impressive, and the Series 3 range does a good job at covering all bases, for all types of e-foilers.

View Test >>

DOUBLE DIP: Unifoil Hyper2 170/210

The Hyper2 has plenty of top speed to catch the swells but low enough stall-out speed to keep going slow or get going again if you come down.
