Windsurfing UK New Year issue: the story behind the cover

Check out the cover from our imminent New Year issue – awesome isn’t? To the layman this may look like just another boosted aerial from Mauritius, One Eye. Yet it’s anything but… The rider in question is one Mike Wand-Tetley, some of you may have come across him. Firstly he’s a good sailor, but no pro. He just happened to […]

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: […]

Wing foiling apparel brand FLYTE launches in the UK.

Windsurfing UK News

Wing foiling apparel brand FLYTE launches in the UK with clothing products aimed wingsurfers of all skills levels. Sam from FLYTE got in touch to tell us more. ‘Being keen water people and recently taking to Wing Foiling we became hooked with the sport and became inspired to create something unique for the Global Foil community.’ ‘When we started building […]

Sroka wing foil gear test – Skyrider 5’5, 1350 HA L foil & 5m Wing V3.

Windsurfing UK Kit Tests

Sroka will probably be a new name for some but with Bruno Sroka at the helm (an ex-pro kiter and all round knowledge watersports bod) you can guarantee the equipment will be solid and high performance. Based in France Sroka sent us their Skyrider 5’5 wing foil board, their 5m Wing V3 and the 1350 HA Lift foil. Here’s what […]

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 […]

2022 Challenger Sails deals from Foilshop UK.

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 […]

Learning to windfoil, with Dave Ludgate.

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 […]
