AXIS SKINNY 365/55 Carbon Rearwing

The Vandal was designed to take on high impact, as a sturdy helmet that we can rely on from one day to the next. This CE approved helmet is lined with EVA foam which is slightly more bulky than the Pro, but is lined with detachable 3D Mesh fit pads for comfort. Adjusting is done with the 180 dial and secured with the quick release chin closure. Features CE and UKCA approved 180 dial adjuster 3D Mesh detachable fit pads Quick release chin closure Detachable ear cover compatible (not included) Designed for watersports only Materials High impact ABS outer shell EVA inner shell

The Earpads were designed to mount on the Vandal Pro helmet and will keep your ears extra warm and protected during your session.

Designed for our entire foil line, the AXIS masts are stiff, strong, and ready for any use and conditions. We designed our masts for 2021 to give our foilers a very direct feeling to their foil which is critical for foiling. We even sourced our own high quality aluminium and bought tons of it, to ensure we only have the highest quality raw materials for our foils. Our 19mm masts are 224% stiffer than the 15mm thick masts (most other foil companies use). It's even stiffer than any other carbon mast on the market today. This gives you more control and fast input from your feet to the front wing. Do you find the 750mmm just a bit too short for your local spot, but the 900mm is a bit too long? Then the 820mm is certainly the right length for you. Perfect for higher performance riding on Surf, tow-in, Wake, Pump, SUP, Wing or Kite.  Other mast sizes available: 450mm (15.7 inches), 600mm (23.6 inches), 680mm (26.6 inches), 750mm (29.5 inches), 1050mm (41.3 inches)

The AXIS Foil Plate mount is made with high grade Aluminium, 3d CNCed and anodized. This is not your off the shelf plate mount. This is a beautifully engineered and very stiff piece, designed to hold the mast of your foil tightly and strongly. Multiple holes give you flexibility with positioning on your foil board. And the sliding endings, let you remove the plate by just loosening the screws, w/out having to fully unscrew the M8 bolts from your board.As with all of our products, this plate is Designed in New Zealand.

NEW for the Black Advance+ Series we have added a discretely placed Zinc Anode, which we have integrated into the front wing attachment area.All AXIS Black Advance+ Fuselage have updated shapes and are now shipped with all the screws you need to attach your favorite wings and mast. These are pre-lubed, ready to ride straight out of the bag.If you're into pushing the envelope in wave riding (Prone, SUP, Wing or Wake) these will blow your mind. Are you looking to push harder, carve tighter turns and want an even more connected surf experience? Our new Black ADVANCE+ fuselage configuration is for you. This design sees the mast position advanced 60mm closer to the front foil (compared to our regular fuselages), opening up entirely new options for surf performance. Our Current Black fuselage range is perfectly suited to the majority of riders across all disciplines, while these new Black ADVANCE+ fuselages are not intended to replace them but provide options for performance and a more connected feel when pushing the limits. If you are an intermediate or expert surf / wave foiler, this could be a great upgrade for you. A consideration when moving the mast position on the fuselage forward is that the effective length of the rear fuselage back to the rear stabilizing foil is increased by the distance the mast moves forward. When choosing your Advance Black Fuselage, it’s advisable to take this into consideration and perhaps opt for a length shorter than you are used to using. If you’re currently using an Ultrashort, you might consider the Crazyshort instead. Available in Short, Ultrashort, Crazyshort and Sillyshort  and Psychoshort (just 520mm). Compared to our Standard Black fuselage range, the Advance+ provide a looser, faster transition from side-to-side. The sensation our testers liked it for is similar to the sensation of moving fins forward in the tracks on a surfboard, initiating turns becomes easier, which is great in the surf. There is a small trade-off, this ease of turning comes as at the expense of some tracking and speed stability. (So expect to have a small effect on upwind ability when winging and a need to adjust pumping technique slightly. If you are into ultra high speed big wave riding, you should consider the regular black fuselages instead).With the mast set further forward on the fuselage, your baseplate position needs to be further forward in the boxes to position the wings in the same position as the normal Black fuselageIn an effort to reduce our cardboard footprint, these new Black ADVANCE+ fuselages come with our new custom fuselage protective covers, and no paper / cardboard boxes. 

The development of the much faster-running ARTPRO wings prompted us to begin experimenting with reduced chord rear stabilisers to maximise this newfound speed advantage. With minimal span changes (just 7mm between them) and drastic chord reduction down to 55, 50, 45, 40 and 35mm, we found positive gains in speed, control, balance and feel. The Skinnies have inherited many of the same characterises that make our Progressive range so popular, like the precise feel and seamless turn initiation plus recovery. They are very low drag and free up speed and turning. Heavier riders and those less experienced will gravitate to the 55, 50 and 45 chord models, those who are lighter and or have greater experience might opt to reduce drag in the extreme and try the 40 or 35mm chord options.The Skinny rear wings inspire confidence by providing a more comfortable ride at speed, they reduce the normal buildup of front foot pressure that can be associated with high-speed foiling. They are a perfect match to ARTPRO foils, but keep in mind, your HPS, ART, PNG and even BSC, will equally benefit from the Skinny high-performance DNA.
