Irish windsurfer Dave Ludgate has recently begun his windfoil journey. The man from Cork says it’s been on his radar for a while. But only recently has he had the chance to get stuck in. Whilst he’s learning Dave is also aiming to document his progress via a series of vlogs. These are warts and all stories from each session […]
Words: WSUK. PicS: Oli Lane-Peirce, James Jagger, Dave Ludgate. How was winter ’21/’22 for you? Did you score full power windsurf sessions or was it more hit and miss?

Whether learning or improving with either wingsurfing or windfoiling (perhaps both) there’s no accounting for knowledge. Particularly wing foiling, which for many riders is a completely new concept. Windfoiling calls on those windsurfing foundational building block skills riders have honed over many years. Wingsurfing is a completely different kettle of fish.

Review: Tez Plavenieks Pics: Oli Lane Peirce, Fi Plavenieks, Tez Plavenieks Slingshot’s Outwit SUP foil range was well received in previous seasons, being a decent flight board that more recently has been doubling as a wing foil sled for many peeps. Replaced for 2021 in many ways SS’s Shred Sled resembles the Outwit (especially viewed side on) but with the […]
Words & pics: Tez Plavenieks Names mean nothing when it comes to windsurfing boards. In fact, when trying to decipher what gear does – having not actually tried the kit in question – it’s pretty hard to get a real handle on things. Most riders look at dimensions, but that too can be misleading because numbers, as with names, mean […]
Review: Tez Plavenieks Pics & vid: Oli Lane-Peirce In Greek mythology Icarus, son of master craftsman Daedalus (who also created the Labyrinth), attempt to design a pair of wax/feather wings to escape the island of Crete. Unfortunately, having flown too close to the sun, the wings fail and Icarus falls from the sky. With Avanti Sails’ Icarus foil specific sail […]
