I wish there were wing foil lessons when I was learning to foil, would have saved me a lot of money and frustration. Once I figured out what gear and conditions I needed, success and progression came quickly. I made this Learn to Foil Video Course to help everyone put themselves in the right conditions on the right gear and have fun learning this amazing new adventure we call wing foiling. In person lessons are also available.
All the things I like about foils I have ride tested and reviewed: AFS, F-One, Code, Armstrong, F4, Naish, and Slingshot. For even more detail and depth or what I didn’t like including Achilles heels and deal breakers go to the Foil Reviews – Honest Feedback on Hydrofoils from Popular Brands page (also available a la carte).
Foiling is one of favorite happy places, even better when I have the right tool for the job. I am a better human and closest to the best version of myself when I feed my passions and get stoked. I want this for you as well, more stoked people in their happy place sounds like a better world to me. Matching good people with the best gear for their ability makes a huge difference. In my reviews my intention is to get to the truth, how do these foils ride? Is the slick marketing video hype or hyperbole? Let’s find out together. I have dedicated many years to riding every foil I can in every condition mother nature can provide.
I made a SUP surf foil board and a wing foil board a couple years ago and here is the status update after using these boards regularly for 2 years. Boards are still working, no delamination, nor structural break down. They have been great boards, very durable and functional, there has never been a day where I felt my performance or ability to foil was held back by the board being to heavy or some other material failure. The plant flax or linen cloth on the wing board has held up great with no signs of failure, I have been very rough with that board setting it on pavement and concrete and in the back of vehicles and drilled a big hole for a camera pole.
Here is a YouTube video where I talk a about the boards and foam:

The SUP surf foil board was my first build and the tracks lifted from the expanding glue, I have since found a solution and used it on my third board build, I share what I did below for members.

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...
