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

- 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.
