About Unifoil
Unifoil was founded on Maui in 2019 by Kane De Wilde, one of the original crew that came up in the modern prone-foil era. From the start Unifoil's brief was accessibility: build wings that intermediate prone foilers can actually ride, without the narrow speed window that makes most high-aspect wings punishing to learn on.
The Progression line is the result — wings with slightly thicker profiles and forgiving low-end that let riders move up in aspect ratio without losing the ability to recover from bad pop-ups. The Progression 170 and 200 are two of the most-reviewed prone foils on US retailer sites, with customer scores consistently in the 4.7–4.8 range.
The Vyper line sits above Progression for advanced riders — thinner profile, higher aspect, and the wing Unifoil's team uses at Ho'okipa. Unifoil is one of the few foil brands with a dedicated intermediate-friendly line, which is a big part of why it's grown so fast in the US.
