All Tests

Soöruz Guru 4/3mm

This is a wetsuit that feels tailor-made for foilers. It's clearly designed for demanding riders who want high performance without sacrificing sustainability.

JP-Australia Downwind S-TEC & M-Winger PRO

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.

Cabrinha Mantis Apex

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.

North Mode Pro

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.

GA Wings Pure Team

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.

Stoke Foil Boost Ultra

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.

AK Phazer V5 Active Carbon

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.

Armstrong MA Mk II + Surf Stabilizers

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 >>

Mystic Evolve

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.

Appletree Apple Skipper DW V2

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 >>

AFS Stream

Whether you're cruising bumps or linking turns, the new AFS Stream delivers a super clean, connected experience.

FreeWing AIR Team V5

The FreeWing AIR Team V5 offers one of the most direct, responsive, and controlled winging experiences on the market today.
