Our review of the gear we offer

The Onix mast is an 80 cm alloy with a 14 mm slim profile, paired with a 66 cm fuselage. This setup covers freeride, waves, and freestyle riding. Only riders focused purely on racing will want a longer mast.

The 14 mm profile is what sets it apart. Standard alloy masts run 16 to 19 mm thick. The Onix feels noticeably faster, with less drag and a smoother glide. The thinner section also makes the foil more agile through transitions and tight turns. Stiffness holds up under bigger wings and heavier riders.

Bottom line. At 14 mm thick, the Onix is one of the slimmest alloy masts on the market. Pair it with the 66 cm fuselage and you have a setup that does almost everything except dedicated racing.

The Onix front wing range has three families, each built for a different style. Stingray for freestyle and waves. Osprey for versatile freeride. Albatross for high-aspect glide, distance, and downwind.

Stingray. Low aspect, pronounced sweep, notable dihedral. Built for freestyle and waves: responsive rail-to-rail, strong pop, easy re-entry, controlled breaching. Stable at speed.

• 430: Wingfoil racing, kitefoil big air.
• 630: Wingfoil freestyle, kitefoil freeride.
• 830: Wingfoil freestyle, kitefoil beginners and intermediates.

Osprey. Mid aspect, straight outline, slight anhedral. The most versatile range. Balances acceleration, speed, control, carving, and glide. Size by rider weight, skill, and conditions.

• 550: Strong wind, advanced riders.
• 750: Advanced riders ≤75 kg, moderate to strong wind.
• 950: Advanced riders ≥75 kg, moderate to strong wind.
• 1250 / 1450: Lighter wind, progression phase, riders ≥95 kg.
• 1450: Also good for lighter wing beginners, parawing beginners, and experienced dock starters.
• 1850 / 2250: Foil beginners and dock starting.

Across the Osprey range these foils feel light underfoot, hold control at speed, stay nimble on flats, and shine in waves and chop.

Albatross (high aspect). Straight outline, distinctive dihedral. Built for glide, efficiency, and speed. Locks in upwind, holds momentum in swell. Not designed to be jumped.

• 1160: Strong low-end, friendly once you have nailed gybes, suited to heavier riders. Surprisingly manoeuvrable for its span. Tricky in rough conditions, but a dream in thermal-wind swells or longboard-style flat-water blasting.
• 860: High-performance, demands precise input. Rewards skilled riders with acceleration, top-end range, and dynamic rail-to-rail carving. Shines in sizeable swell or longboard-style blasting in stronger wind.

Tip breaches are smooth and forgiving across the range.

Bottom line. Pick Stingray for freestyle pop, Osprey for everyday all-round riding, Albatross for distance, downwind, and high-aspect glide. For most riders the answer is an Osprey sized to weight and conditions.

The tail wing (also called the stabiliser) controls how a hydrofoil carves, pumps, breaches, and glides. Onix offers six tail wings across two families: Carve, more dynamic with sharper turns, and Glide, more efficient with longer reach. Beginners start at Carve 220. Distance riders end at Glide 130.

• Carve 220. Beginner and intermediate pick. A forgiving allrounder that improves cruising, carving, manoeuvres, glide, and pumping. With Onix front wings it still delivers speed and agility.
• Carve 180. For riders confident in gybes, tacks, and waves. More dynamic than the 220, with better acceleration, sharper carving, and easier breaching.
• Glide 180. More stable and controlled than the Carve 180. Best for riders prioritising glide and pump efficiency: downwind and light-wind days.
• Colibri 145. The most radical stab in the range. Built for maximum performance in freestyle and waves.
• Carve 130. Traditional high-performance feel. Balances power, pump, and glide with slightly less aggressive rail-to-rail behaviour.
• Glide 130. Ultra-high-aspect tail for maximum glide. Built for straight-line distance pumping and downwind races.

Bottom line. Carve 220 for your first year. Carve 180 once you are confident in gybes and tacks. Glide 130 if you are chasing pump distance or downwind.
