Back end of the swell , so small tow day on the 660 still fun. Shot this on the Olympus TG-6 pretty old school camera but nice depth of field. Struggled on focus a bit and a touch shakey but still came out pretty well shot on 4k x 25p .No stabilization in post or colour correction.

660 is a small wing ,do you recon a bigger wing would have been better, seem to be struggling to keep going on some

Yeah for sure , should have been on the 76. We were expecting bigger swell but it died overnight.

The new Axis 76 & 86 are killer wings they are at the shop but out on loan , either of those would have been epic but have to say that the new Fanatic 1250 HA was a dream machine at speed. Really stable and when the white water broke around it , it just shot you forward. Great wing and my tow wing pick for now. Just watch how much carry it has in this video , super quick and smooth.

Awesome videos. Nice speed too. Sure you would have to pump a bit on the flatter angled sections of waves but sure speeds up quick once it gets a little steeper or bigger. Thanks for putting in the effort to show it.

Please tell us more about these 2 wings!
The 660 is much to small for an 85 kg supper in smallish waves.

Here's a couple of pics of the 760.

It's got the gullwing shape that slingshot brought out in theIr infinity wings.

So the surface of the 760 is 1218/1130 cm^2
That is smaller than I expected and no good for me

I wonder what the surface of the 860 is??

Axis is bringing out lots of foils lately but the biggest , the S1010 , is 1430 cm^2

I have the S1010 but for pumping I still go back to my S1020 but would love to get a big dedicated pumping foil and an S960...

Not all off us are 70 kg and have great waves ....

Axis gave 4 new wings , I did have photos but dropped phone in the water , just got a new one but photos weren't back up . 76 & 86 Batwing for surf , the new 91 which is a wider tipped more fuller wing and flatter compared to the original 90 and the new big girl 1150 . I'll get some more pics & area sizes today .
