I guess the high performance S series is the one in between no ? The design of the 660. Pretty sure some bigger sizes are coming out.
Here's another shot of the 1150 it's big . Plus Axis also has the new HA / Mid aspect 76 & 82 , plus the 91 which is more along the lines of the GF GL180 bit shorter with. square wing tips , But Gofoil have just released the new P series super high aspect . See pic below P180 on left GL180 on Right .
Is anyone using the carbon masts ? Someone commented on wing.surf Facebook that it feels a lot better.
Is the cost worth it to save some weight and stiffness ?
I don't think carbon saves much weight these days: Axis 101 / 75cm / std old fuse / 400 tail - 4490gram
GoFoil 210 / 29.5 new plate mast and pedestal flat tail - 4100gram
i'm sticking with the stiff 19mm aluminium axis for now.
@90kg and first Wing (6m), for low winds (10-20kt) what Axis foil would be appropriate please?
It's not just the weight saving in carbon mast , they taper both ways ( wider at the top ) which makes them more stream lined plus they flex down low near the fuse like a surfboard fin tip. This gives a much better feel especially on a prone . When you get flex in an Ali mast it flexes from the base plate on your board , which feels terrible in comparison. It's nice to have a bit of controlled flex in the mast for these new high aspect wings . Not so much on the older XL-XXL low aspect wings , that's where I prefer a super stiff Ali mast especially on a Sup .
Any word on what might be a good tail wing to go with the new 1150 for the heavier crowd. Have a 500 and 400 rear
Can anyone speak to the difference between the 1000 and 1010? Correct me if I'm wrong but- from what I can sus out- the 1010 has better low end lift.... the 1000 tighter turning? How does top end speed compare?
Pleasure to carry to the beach when matched to a light board, just need a handle in the bottom of the board to make it even easier getting out of the water with a wingding as well.
I would like to suggest to AXIS a naming convention...
Eg:
1010TMSHA (thin, medium speed, high aspect)
1020FSSLA (fat, Slow speed, low aspect)
1150TABLMSHAS (thin, And Bloody Long, Medium Speed, highly available soon)
I saw mr. Axis himself out at the local a couple months back. Was the usual knee to dick high crumblers, hes not exactly pumping back out but even he reckoned the 1150 was too big for the day. No matter what you do itll just throw a tip out the wave face. Pretty sure he was riding the 910. Hes a tall man, i'd guess around 85+kg so thats saying something
P.s Straight wings suck, the gull1000 was loving it
Tis is the same 61 kg guy doing a flat water start with the 2000cm2 S1020:

At 85 kg I also want to do that! Can anybody in my weight category do this with the S1020?
sorry for the naive question - but would a Axxis 1020 be appropriate for me to start winging with a fanatic 6'7 sky sup (90kg)...and any benefits over the default 2000 fanatic aero foil?
