Axis foils - What wing are you riding?

LAFC runs a lot of red masts.

What are wings you guys using? Discuss and review here. @Hdip you start us off.

Fine I’ll go ahead and say it. The 900 is boring. Pumping isn’t all there is to life. I greatly prefer the 760 unless there’s just nothing to do except pump.

370 tail. I do not like the 460.

Lol. I still love my 900 with the 370 tail and crazy short fuse. Pumps crazy and is fast. But I hear you, I love my 860 front wing too, little less pump but it turns super nice.

I think it should also be stated whether one is riding a SUP or prone board w/ whatever setup is favored, as at least IMO…they’re two different beasts (or sports).

That said, for my SUP foiling, I’m loving the 900/390 (-1 shimmed), ultra short fuse, and 75cm aluminum mast setup…since while pumping is a goal (maybe just a dream given board size of board, weight, and yes, age), my current joy is being able to surf/turn that setup more in the ways I used to surf/SUP w/o a foil underneath me.

That doesn’t mean I’m still not looking for something that’ll still do that and pump back out to connect a wave or two. But currently, I’ve not found anything that’ll do both, and the closest I’ve gotten to the latter is w/ the 1000/460 setup…but the “surf-ability” of that seemed to wane so much, that I went back to the 900/390 when I just couldn’t get the 460 to pump as well as on the 900, and still experienced the less turn-ability of that setup.

Still waiting to give the 760/370 (or 460) a try, but as of yet have not been able to find someone with that setup available when I’ve been at the beach. But a friend just picked up the 760 a couple days ago, so hopefully in the not too distant future I’ll be able to test that out soon. :crossed_fingers: :grinning:

EDIT: The same guy is also waiting on the Crazy Short fuse to arrive, and I look forward to testing that out with all my setups as well. :+1:

You need the 370 and ultrashort as your baseline on everything you try.

On SUP foil I like the 82cm 19mm aluminum mast or the 76cm v1.1 carbon mast with the 910 front, ultrashort fuse and 370 rear.

On Wingding I like the 86cm v1.1 carbon mast on regular chop or the 82cm 19mm aluminum for waves. Till 2 weeks ago, the 910 front wing was my goto with ultrashort and 370. But now I love the 1050 front wing with the Black Series short fuselage and the 420 rear.
For super light conditions, the 1150 front wing is a must.

On kite foil I love the 96cm carbon mast v1, with the ultrashort fuselage, 760 front wing and 340 rear.

On the eFoil I love the 1010 or 1150 or the née 1300 with crazy short and 460. Most Amp efficient wings in the world.

I can keep on going.
In my car I keep the 700, 760, 900, 910, 1010, 980, 1050, 1150, 1300 for any day and any conditions.

Thinking about updating my Efoil setup to run Axis wings. Currently running Gong V1 Rise L setup + fliteboard pro fiberglass. I weight close to 70kg myself.

Current thought is create a separate propulsion system using 19mm Axis mast (was given a 82 cm mast) to utilize Axis front foils.

Anyone have a front wing suggestion for Axis that they have enjoyed for their Efoil? Looking for something more maneuverable and faster than my current setup.

I run axis 16mm on my efoils then run gong, sabfoil, unifoil and axis wings with adaptors.

Then i run the 19mm mast for pump and wakefoiling

Do you run the 16 mm on your Efoils since it is a smaller profile (less drag)? Or more so because of the wing sizes you prefer / use?

Its less drag and I tend to run smaller wings on efoil so find I don’t need the 19mm mast.

Makes sense. I have not considered the 16 mm up to this point till you mentioned it, but may consider using it.

What Axis wings have you used? Or is there is type you have liked more? (ART, PNG, BSC)

I’ve mostly ridden Gong wings on efoil simply because where I ride there a lot of rocks and the wings I have are high aspect and cheap. I have ridden the PNG1150 with the gear and found it to be very chilled and nice for wakethieving on efoil or assist. I didn’t notice any flex with the 16mm mast even with the larger wing. Then I have ridden a fare amount of Unifoil Hyper (170, 190 and 210) wings which were all fun on the efoil.

A lot depends on how you want to ride though. Some want super efficiency and just cruise straight, others want surf style or just flat water carving.
