The following is reflective of our early experiences with windfoiling from 2017, when this article was first featured in Windsurfing UK. We should also add that the range of AFS hydro foils has now drastically changed. Stay tuned for AFS-2 foil review coming soon! This isn’t the first time we’ve published a foil related gear article (see review of AHD’s […]
With the recent UK spring weather not being exactly spring-like it’s been a good period for testing cold water windsurfing gear and how well this kit stands up to the chill. Here Windsurfing UK’s editor, Tez Plavenieks, took the upgraded Ianovated palmless mitts for a first run out. Many may recall the, er, innovative wetsuit featuring rubber tubes running down […]
With Severne’s brand new 2018 Dyno freestyle wave board range starting to become widely available we thought it an apt time to publish the 105 test. Read on for more… Non-POV pics: James Jagger Photography Having been passed Severne’s brand new 2018 Dyno 105 freestyle wave board we weren’t quite sure what to expect. The main thing riders will notice […]
Windsurfing UK’s editor, Tez Plavenieks, gives us a little preview of what’s to come as far as windfoil test reports are concerned in the next issue. Here we’re looking at AHD’s AFS-2 high performance 100% carbon hyrdrofoil and Horue’s entry level carbon/stainless steel mix H1o Evo. Windfoil test preview – AFS-2, Horue H10 Evo A preview of what we've got […]
With foiling pricking so many interests currently we thought it an idea to spotlight one of the boutique brands out there producing flying gear. With UK slalom sailor Jason Clarke utilising kit from Slovenian brand Bug (check out the Q&A we did with Jason re his work with Bug here) we decided to get on the case and see what’s […]
In a world where multi-fin windsurfing boards are all the rage it’s easy to forget the lowly single fin, which in many cases would still be the best choice of sled to cover as wide a condition set as possible. NoveNove’s Style Wave GLS 95 is the harder wearing construction of the brand’s freestyle wave offering. The pro line gives […]
With autumn/winter prime wave season upon us here in the UK any sailor looking to tackle the juice will need some apt tools for the job. Whether charging down the line conditions or looking for ultimate control in gnarly winds and confused seas having the right kit for the job is key. Enter RRD’s Vogue Pro 5m MK9, ready and […]
RRD were one of the first brands to introduce the thinned out freeride board concept. Short and wide boards (Widestyle anyone?) aren’t exactly new but utilising the concept and tweaking to enhance the blasting/everyman planing windsurfing experience has been a winner. The version we got our grubbies on is RRD’s E-Tech FM. E-Tech is RRD’s harder wearing technology that shakes […]
NeilPryde need no introduction. A stalwart brand on the windsurfing scene for years, with many a world champion (Bjorn Dunkerbeck, Antoine Albeau anyone?) having used the brand’s gear to devastating effect, NeilPryde continue to deliver premium quality sails and rig components. WSUK got its grubbies on the C3 version of NP’s Ryde 7.5m, billed as the perfect partner for modern […]
Billed as no cam freerace sails Severne’s NCX range continues to draw admirers from all corners. Looking unique and instantly identifiable the NCX 8m is a bold looking tool for making use of lighter winds. Although we used both colourways of the 2017 Severne NCX, this didn’t affect things as aesthetics are just that – performance is the same regardless. […]
