Welcome to Foiling Magazine’s Test Center, home to all our in-depth reviews of the latest foiling gear.
From foils, to wings, to foil boards, and everything in between, our global test team of professional riders offer their personal take on what shiny new kit you should be spending your hard-earned money on…
The Javelin is an outstanding wing for riders of all abilities and styles. This is a wing that can be set up to send massive boosts, multiple rotations, inverts, and grabs, and still be tuned to a finely balanced wave riding machine.

The Froth V2 is an exceptionally friendly board to ride in this size, giving adequate buoyancy by maintaining a generous level of volume in a short board, and therefore minimizing swing weight, making it feel sportive for its literage.

The 7m A-Series is a wing that’s going to open up conditions you previously wouldn’t have bothered with, and it’s as user friendly and efficient as larger wings get.

We tested the Ginxu from a complete ‘winging’ perspective and can say that this does feel like a true innovation that benefits the winging experience for all riders, not just the Kai Lennys of this world…

The AURA is fun to use, successfully showcases some new innovations, and most importantly, it works very well within the freeride and wave sectors it is designed for.

The Appleslice V2 is sleek through the water, assertive and balanced whilst flying, and importantly ultra-nimble and telepathically direct under the feet.

These two wings, and the combination of components offered, seem to strike the perfect balance between customization, build quality, performance and user-friendliness.
View Test >>
Fun and inspiring, the Kujira 1095 and 750 are a great pair, even if they’re vastly different flavors. Takuma has struck gold with these ones.
