Aqueous Layline Carbon 6m & 4.5m foil wing test.

Wingsurf UK

Aqueous wings first came to my attention at the start of 2024 when I spotted a number of luminaries within the wing foiling world using them. Further pricking my interest the Aqueous main USPs are the wing’s use of monofilm in the canopy (which is the most obvious), fully battens across the canopy and the use of Dimension-Polyant P85 (comparable […]

Stoke Foil Boost foil assist review.

Windsurfing UK Kit Tests

The Stoke Foil Boost foil assist is one of a number of foil assist products I’ve tested over the last few years but the Stoke Boost is the most attention-grabbing. Looking radically different from anything else on the market the Stoke Boost looks more like a torpedo than a gadget to help get you flying. Words: Tez Plavenieks. Additional pics: […]

Challenger Sails Ikaroz 5m wing review.

Windsurfing UK Kit Tests

Challenger Sails may be a new name for some wingfoilers. But Claudio Badiali’s Italian sail brand has been around for a while. Taking the PWA Slalom Windsurfing title in 2022, with pilot Maciek Rutkowski standing tall on the podium, Challenger Sails are held in high regard by many windsurfers. Challenger Sails Ikaroz wings are also gaining favour among the foiling […]

Windfoil UK

Whether foil or fin the Challenger Sails are championship winning (as was proved recently during the PWA slalom event where Maciek Rutkowski took the title). And now’s your chance to own a slice of that good stuff and bag a deal in the process. As it stands the UK’s pretty blowy with plenty of opportunity to get out sailing. There’s […]

Windfoil UK

Irish windsurfer Dave Ludgate has recently begun his windfoil journey. The man from Cork says it’s been on his radar for a while. But only recently has he had the chance to get stuck in. Whilst he’s learning Dave is also aiming to document his progress via a series of vlogs. These are warts and all stories from each session […]

Wingsurf and windfoil knowledge tips & tricks.

Windfoil UK

Whether learning or improving with either wingsurfing or windfoiling (perhaps both) there’s no accounting for knowledge. Particularly wing foiling, which for many riders is a completely new concept. Windfoiling calls on those windsurfing foundational building block skills riders have honed over many years. Wingsurfing is a completely different kettle of fish. But even windfoiling, once you start to levitate, becomes […]
