The highly regarded HPS foils from Axis are perfect for winging with their high speed and glide, yet they remaining accessible for most riders who can already foil! High-performance foiling accessible to everyone!
This breakthrough high aspect foil was the result of a long and intensive design and prototyping process that included the development of Axis’ new ‘black’ fuselage to incorporate the reduced thickness and chord of the HPS foil section. The camber of the HPS, a key variable in the lift versus drag trade-off, is also the lowest in the AXIS range.
But while this foil is unashamedly designed for speed and glide, the real achievement is how easy it is to use for almost all levels of rider. Where other brands’ high aspect foils are usually an unstable ‘expert only’ ride, we’ve seen people jump on HPS and rip after a just a few sessions mastering basics on higher lift foils. This is thanks to the beautifully balanced plan-shape and carefully considered down- turn and twist, that keeps this foil turning freely and handling predictably in all conditions.
AXIS HPS has quickly become their most popular foil for winging for all levels riders once they have the basics down. A true industry benchmark. It’s also making its mark in Downwind, Prone and SUP foiling for faster or more powerful waves. Its high-speed suitability also makes it a natural choice for windsurf and kite foiling.
Here is what the experts say:
HPS are fast and perfect for wingding and downwinding. But good riders are surfing, SUP, downwinding, wake even dock starting them. Even kting the smaller HPS is a blast.
The AXIS HPS wings get their lift from speed – the take off is dramatic. Catches you by surprise the first time you take off. This high aspect ratio and the lower camber foil section, makes them performance oriented, but still comfortable for the intermediate levels.
Available as front wing only or as a complete foil package (front wing, rear wing of your choice, short black fuselage, 82cm mast, mast plate, doodad, bolts).
