UPDATE!

As we're prepping the next issue of Foiling Magazine for release, we thought we'd give you FREE digital access to issue #5. Enjoy!

Marking our post-pandemic return to print with an absolute banger edition (and our largest printed issue to date!) this time around we've gone BIG on the subject of wind wings, with plenty of top-end photography and even a Buyer's Guide to help you choose from the top wing options out there. We also have beautifully-documented foil adventures out of Japan, South Africa, Hawaii and California, bag interviews with top tier riders, have plenty of new gear knowledge and tech talk, and as promised we've gone big on tests too, with a wide selection of foils, boards and wings all given the thorough test team treatment… Enjoy!

THE MICHEL BOUREZ INTERVIEW // The bulk of this interview happened prior to that well-documented hammerhead shark attack. The photoshoot came after though, and with that we got a chance to find out a little more about what went down in the waters off Tahiti…

WIND WING BUYER'S GUIDES // Reflecting the astonishingly quick uptake in wind winging, we've gone pretty hard on wing foiling this issue, crowned by our comprehensive guide to the best wind wings available on the market right now…

THE WATERMAN OF CHIBA // Jun Adegawa holds such a love for his home province of Chiba in Japan that even the siren song of the Maui lifestyle couldn't prevent him from returning to the place he loves the most, and carving out a reputation as one of the country's foremost watermen.

GLIDERS: ABEL LAGO // From windsurfer to kiteboarder to avid wing foiler, Abel Lago has spent his life catching the breeze at a professional level and now finds himself at the forefront of a new windsport revolution… We find out what drives his developing love for the wind wing.

THE VAN VUURENS // Whether your dad is a legend in the industry, or your son is one of the top riders of his generation, there are some clear benefits to working alongside your nearest and dearest, especially when you thrive upon each others' stoke for what you're building. So it is for Ivan and Nathan van Vuuren…

RED LETTER DAY: DYLAN WICHMANN // When your pal is one of South Africa's best water action photographers and you convince him to catch a dawny with you before he heads into work… So it went for up and coming foil star Dylan Wichmann.
