The New Rock Surf Blog: Gear Talk, Reviews, and Expert Insights

At New Rock Surf, we are total gear heads. We spend our days on the water and our evenings talking about the technical nuances of kites, boards, foils, and wetsuits. This blog is our space to share that passion with you, providing deep dives into the latest technology and honest opinions on the equipment we use every day.

What We Cover

  • Technical Gear Reviews: Honest, rider-led feedback on the latest releases, such as the AXIS Surge surf foil and the Soöruz Guru Pro wetsuit. We put the gear through its paces in real UK conditions to tell you how it actually performs.
  • Industry Insights: Updates from major events like the AWSI show and brand focuses on innovators like Surflogic and Infinity. We keep you informed on what is coming next in the world of winging and foiling.
  • Pro Tips and Guides: Useful advice to help you make informed decisions, from finding the best UK kite repair shops to optimising your Foil Drive setup or choosing the right foiling podcasts.
  • Sustainability and Innovation: Tracking the evolution of eco-friendly materials like Oysterprene and the latest advancements in "foil-brained" technology. 

Whether you are looking for help deciding on your next purchase or just want to stay up to date with the rapidly evolving world of watersports, our blog is designed to be a valuable resource for the UK foiling and surfing community.
