Axis Research Team Black Foil – Wing Foiling – The Foiling Collective

The AXIS Research Team (ART) Black Foil set up looks and feels like nothing else.

On the water these wings blow your mind! The AXIS ART front wings sit at the forefront of wing design and development, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for a foil. The incredible speed and glide of these wings, coupled with effortless pump and efficiency, enables you to ride the smallest lump way further outside the surf zone than ever before.

The team at AXIS are extremely excited to see how these very responsive, nimble yet confidently precise and planted wings take the down-winding, wing foiling, wind foiling and smaller surf markets by storm.

ART foils are ideally matched with the Progressive rear wing range and Carbon foil masts.

Standard Fuselage – 784mm
Short Fuselage – 703mm
Ultra-Short Fuselage – 643mm
Crazy-Short Fuselage – 603mm

Aluminium Masts in the ART Series:
AXIS Aluminium Masts are stiff, strong, and ready for any use and conditions. Designed to give foilers a very direct feeling to their foil which is critical for foiling.

105cm – great for big swell downwinders
90cm – the choice of big wave enthusiasts and tow-ins, when combined with the S-Series 680 front wing. It’s also the choice of downwinder pros when competing in open ocean swell.
82cm – the ultimate length if you find the 75cm just a bit too short and the 90cm slightly too long. Perfect for higher performance riding on Surf, tow-in, Wake, Pump, SUP, Wing or Kite.
75cm – used on bigger surf, downwinders and more advanced riding with the S-Series foil.
68cm – most common foil mast length for prone surf foiling and all round SUP.
60cm – most common mast that you will start putting hours on. Some riders might never need a taller mast, depending on their style, local conditions or discipline.
45cm – ideal for your first flights, while you are learning how to foil or in shallower waters.

Carbon Masts in the ART Series:
AXIS Carbon Foil Masts featuring a progressive chord thickness and embedded mast plate. Snappier feel in carbon verses aluminium. You do not need a Doodad adapter or Base Foil Plate with the Carbon Masts as these are already inbuilt.

960mm (37.79in) Big wave and tow-ins, downwinder pros in open ocean, great for wing surf, wind foil and kite foil.
860mm (33.85in) Bigger surf, downwinders, advanced riding with all foils.
760mm (29.92in) Wing surf or ‘surfy’ option for kite foiling, good option for shallow areas.
