Education continues to play a central role in Code Foils’ content strategy. In the latest episode of Cheat Code, Josh Ku breaks down an often overlooked progression path: mastering larger foils.
Focusing on the 1300-series, Josh explains how riding bigger foils—when done correctly—can dramatically improve time on foil, control, and carving ability. Rather than rushing to smaller wings, intermediate and advanced riders can unlock smoother turns, longer rides, and faster skill development by embracing more lift and glide.
The takeaway is clear: more time on foil equals more progression.
Untold Stories: Chasing the Downwind “Ace”
The Untold Stories series continues to explore the personal side of foiling progression. In the latest episode, Sean’s five-year downwind foiling journey comes into focus, centered around a single goal: completing the demanding Avalon to Long Reef run without falling.
Known locally as an “Ace,” the challenge requires a full point-to-point run while staying on foil the entire time. After years of attempts, the breakthrough finally came—with the 1075R emerging as the key piece of equipment that made the difference.
The episode highlights how persistence, local conditions, and foil choice intersect in downwind success.
New Product Releases Point Toward 2026
Stainless Steel Bolt Kit
Code Foils introduced a new stainless steel bolt kit designed for durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability in saltwater environments. Moving forward, this kit will become the standard replacement hardware across all Code Foils products, signaling a push toward stronger, cleaner, and more maintenance-friendly setups.
Expanded X-Series Foils
The X-Series lineup has been expanded to offer greater range for riders seeking speed, precision, and a highly connected feel. Known for its sharp feedback and surf-style responsiveness, the X-Series continues to appeal to riders pushing performance across surf, downwind, and wing disciplines.
Designed for tight carves, committed turns, and stability through breaches and messy conditions, the X-Series remains a cornerstone for both progression and high-end performance.
Wingfoiling Spotlight: Small R-Series, Maximum Performance
For wingfoilers chasing speed and efficiency, Code Foils highlighted the 600R and 680R as go-to options for high-performance riding. These smaller R-Series foils deliver instant acceleration, strong glide, and a fast, reactive feel underfoot—making them particularly effective for fast waves and wingfoil downwind runs.
Looking Ahead
As 2025 comes to a close, Code Foils heads into 2026 with clear momentum. Competitive success, educational storytelling, and product refinement continue to shape a brand identity rooted in progression and performance.
December wasn’t just a wrap-up month—it was a clear signal of where Code Foils is headed next.
