Pics: Oli Lane-Peirce, Mike Pringuer, Jonny Williams. With wing foiling continuing its rise in popularity, and seemingly companies pedaling wingsurfing kit popping up overnight, we wanted to check out what some of these not so well known brands offer.

Words & pics: Darach Powell Ever fancied sorting out that old battered stick you have lying around in the back garden? what about just being able to repair your windsurf board should it get dinged?
