AXIS HPS Carbon Front Wing 980

AXIS HPS Carbon Front Wing 980

980mm x 160mm / High Aspect

The High Performance Speed (HPS) wings are FAST. Designed for the ultimate in performance, yet still usable by most levels of riders. Since the HPS wings use their own foil section with less camber and narrower chord, AXIS developed a special fuselage that will accommodate all the HPS and future performance front wings.

The HPS wings are the ideal performance wings for WINGING and DOWNWIND. High level riders also SUP, PRONE, WAKE and WINDSURF foil the bigger sizes, while the smaller sizes are perfect for TOW, freestyle WINGING and KITE foiling.

This is a new generation of front wings made for FAST performance riding, while it's still stable and predictable with an enormous amount of glide and great turning.

As with every AXIS front wing, the graphics on the wings give you all possible measurements so you can best compare and also quickly swap pieces or get new accessories for your foil.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS WING IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH THE BLACK SERIES FUSELAGES

Here is what the experts say:

HPS are fast and perfect for winging and downwinding. But good riders are surfing, SUP, downwinding, wake... even dock starting them. Even kiting the smaller HPS is a blast.
The AXIS HPS wings get their lift from speed - the takeoff is dramatic. Catches you by surprise the first time you take off. This high aspect ratio and the lower camber foil section makes them perfomance-oriented, but still comfortable for the intermediate levels.
