Favorite Surf Foils 2026

Those who have tried some different surf foils, what are your favorite feels going into 2026?

Code X
Axis Surge
F4 Manta
Uni Aggression
KT Nomad
Flux

We are just getting into this.

Walt and I from the Xfoils podcast are putting these surf foils to the test and will have episodes about them.

So far we have tried:

F4 manta 635 and 530

DUotone crest 675

Code 740x and 810x

KT atlas 740/ 680 nomad 800 and 700

North 685 and 830SF. ( all others but these are the lost relevant)

We have some thoughts. We are going to put a pod together regarding these as we get to test more.

We are trying to get our hand on the Cabrinha/ axis/ new lift stuff/ Fone/ Armstrong / Flite/ and slingshot.

So we should have plenty to compare. Stand by as these next couple month come round and we get our hands on it

Huge deal, lotta great options

Rode a bunch of different Surf/MA foils this year.

Code 810x has become a bit of a one foil quiver for me incredible range and noticeably improved my surf foiling
Flux 707 and 808 really impressed me, buttery smooth
Armstrong MAv2 big improvement over v1 hard to go wrong with these

There’s a few others and I really do think they all ride so well these days it’s more about what feel you’re going for. The only one I really didn’t get on with was the surge which confused me as I know it’s somewhat popular.

Flux 707 is a very impressive foil for waves and has great pump as well which is hard to find.
