Dave took the new Foil Drive Mini Pod out in some super small conditions, and the results were epic. The Mini Pod is easily the best way to upgrade your Foil Drive at a great price point. By dropping his power setting from 70% to 55%, Dave got a ton of extra time on the water.

We have a shipment on the way, head to our site and reserve yours now in the link in bio.

New KT KT Foiling gear has officially landed, and we got the inside scoop straight from Ryan Arzy Ryan Arzy at the Wind and Waves event!
Ryan broke down the tech on the new Apex mast and the new Solus front wing. If you’ve been following the downwind scene, you already know the Solus has been getting massive attention after Kane De Wilde Kane de Wilde used it to dominate the Koa Kai Triple Crown championship!

We want to know: what do you think about these new designs from KT?
Have you gotten a chance to try them out on the water yet?

Vadim is stoked on this new arrival to the parawing department!
The Magnetic Parawing Harness Hook by A3D is a universal system that connects to any parawing harness and works with most parawing bars. Simply attach the magnetic base to your harness webbing and it’s ready to go.  Grab the hook and put it on the bar when you need to go upwind or just store it on the magnetic base and out of the way when down winding. 
This device removes the need for a traditional harness line and it keeps your bar clean for easier redeployment and less tangles. 

Grab yours in the shop icon.

First feels on the new Swift have been pretty epic.
Full disclosure: I am not a winger. I’ve dabbled with a wing and parawing a bit, but I’m definitely no expert, just a surf foiler who can get up with a wing when needed. Because of that, I was unsure how the 2026 Swift would change my wind experience.

Well, this first session makes me want to give wing foiling a real shot. The board is incredibly lively for its size. It’s a 74L, but it feels like a 50L mid-length the second you’re up on foil. The 19.5” width makes it super stable to start, giving me the confidence to get loose in my turns without the constant worry of falling and struggling to get back up.

Next up: dialing in this parawing stuff.

Maybe a winger now? — Dave

It’s been a long time coming and we want to start this off by introducing Code / Green Hat team rider Dave is a modest hammer to say the least, competing in the Hawaii races over the past couple years. Taking 1st place in the Uncles category in the Oahu series Dash for Cash, and securing a fourth place finish in the grueling 35 kilometer Ze Race in Guadeloupe. With that Dave knows Down Wind Sup equipment and has been crushing it on his gear. While at Wind and Waves Dave got to try out the new Code Race tails on a few 10 mile runs in 20 knot winds and he was pretty pumped on his first feels. Claiming it shaved off 5-10 seconds per kilometer. So if that sounds like it’s worth it we got these in stock and ready to ship. Also would love to know if you have tried out the new race tails and what your thoughts are on them. We got lots more on the way from Mr Galvin and are pumped to have him join the Green Hat crew.

Also shout out to Steve for having a little fun with this edit.
