Thanks Kitepower of Sans Souci NSW Australia for my new Axis HPS foil.
I got it for a good price.
I decided on the 1050 HPS front wing with the 420 rear. Still learning with my old Neil Pryde XL 100cm wing span or close to 2000cm2 surface area wing.
I still need a bit of effort pumping the NP up on foil in lighter winds. And still learning to jibe.
I know I will probably freak when I get this thing up & it hits the power band.??. I did the same with the NP foil the first time.
I thought the bolts could be a bit time consuming using the right ones or having to go to the instruction sheet for the right lengths. So I decided to colour code them with nail polish the day before I lubricated them.
I also had to find a couple of extra longer T nut bolts to fit to my JP board because the shorter bolts would not go all the way through the nut threads.
So used security bolts purchased from Bunnings.
Hoping I will get better upwind & jibe performance with its speed & glide.

I just received the same exact kit. Haven't tried it yet though.

1050 is magic especially with the 400 progressive tail. Works great in most conditions and is very predictable. Enjoy.
