I've had around 20 surf sessions on the AFS Silk 850 foil, and also 3 wing foiling sessions. Also one quick surf foil session on the Silk 650 in head plus conditions.
Here I show video from those sessions and talk about what I like, any short comings, and compare this hydrofoil to the F-One Sk8 850.
I tested the Foil Drive Gen 2 in flat water, in downwind conditions, and prone surf foiling. Also I am reverse engineering the Foil Drive to asses the value, and ability to hack or upgrade. Let's explore together if the Foil Drive is a viable way to get more waves and time on foil, or all the things the critics say about it.
Big thanks to Cort at 101 Surfsports who lent me the entire prone Foil Drive, board, and foil setup in the photo. Also huge thanks to Evan of Axis at Live2kite who lent me his personal Foil Drive and let put it on my mast and give it a thorough test, also I saw a really cool Axis/FD integration that might be available soon...

Review of the Code 1300 S foil. I tested the Code 1300 hydrofoil winging, and on a short surf session. The video in this review is of me winging the code foil. I talked about how it feels, what conditions I would ride it, and what I believe it's designed for and does well at. Cort at 101 Surfsports let me demo the Code foil.

I need a stiff durable affordable mast, and I like to ride and test many different brands of foils. So I turned to Jim Stringfellow, or Stringy, for a solution. I had an Axis 19mm aluminum mast, which for me is the best durable, stiff, affordable mast out there, and I wanted to ride F-one foils.
A review of the new 2024 F-ONE Seven Seas 1100 hydrofoil (currently on the F-ONE website they are calling it the Seven Seas and the 2022 model is called the SS Carbon). Tested for speed, maneuverability, wing tip ventilation, and glide.
I previously reviewed the Seven Seas 2022 Version 1200 and 1000 in the foil reviews page.
The 2024 is quite different, I was initially shocked at how different it felt, and pleasantly surprised with the changes.
