Airush One V2
This is the 2nd generation of the One from Airush, just released in September 2021.

Airush Switch
The 2022 Airush Switch is an absolute stunner with its Palownia exposed wood core and simple, modern graphics. We know graphics have no impact on the performance of a board, but when a board looks this good, we're pretty sure we look better riding it! To be fair, there aren't too many hideous boards on the market, but we are…
Airush Switch Team
The 2022 Airush Switch and Switch Team arrived at our doorstep on the same day, which was an exciting delivery as we love a good back-to-back test! If you haven't read our review of the Switch, that's a great place to start. The Switch is a phenomenal freeride board, but the Switch Team, even though it's the same shape, is…

Airush Mini Monster Convert
The Mini Monster Convert from Airush sets out to bridge the gap between a light wind freeride wave weapon and a capable foil board. Its got some very fish looking aspects, such as the full nose and the winged tail, and the volume is high and distributed in the centre of the board with a full nose too. The rocker…
Airush Union V4
The Union from Airush made a huge impression when it first appeared a few years ago, and the 4th version of the popular kite is no less impressive, and we predict will be no less popular. A 3 strut all-round kite, it has been designed as the first and last kite you should ever need for the weekend warrior and…
