Wing Foiling

From the blog · Adam Stetzer

A lot landed this week. The case for simplifying your quiver got stronger with the midlength board movement. F-One and Starboard both dropped major 2026 updates. We published the most practical beginner setup guide we have written. And we went deep on Fuerteventura — the Canary Islands spot with 80-90% wind reliability that keeps delivering for wing foilers at every level.

F-One 2026 Wing Foil Lineup: What's New and What It Means for Your Next Setup

The Strike 6 QuadX introduces QuadX Composite — a four-layer laminated fabric at 125 g/m² that delivers more consistent forward traction and reduced dead spots in gusty conditions compared to the V4 and V5.

The 2026 Starboard Foils Range: What the Universal Connection System Changes for Your Quiver
