AXIS FOIL DRIVE BOARDS
When we started designing our AXIS dedicated Foil Drive boards with Dom and Jamie (Foil Drive specialists and AXIS Foils Global Ambassadors), we knew that the outcome would be spectacular. Dominic Hoskyns and Jamie Wise from Foil Drive, together with Adrian Roper from AXIS have indeed created the perfect Foil Drive board, in 3 unique sizes, addressing all levels, conditions and styles or riding.
The AXIS Foil Drive boards are based on a longer and narrower shape, with a very flat section in the rocker to allow the Foil Drive Gen2 to fit nicely. They run with less drag than a shorter wider board and make it very easy to get up on foil. They have been extensively tested to have a solid signal through the board, so no cutouts between the Foil Drive remote control and controller.
We wanted the AXIS Foil Drive boards to be full carbon, similar to the rest of the AXIS Foilboards. So the contruction is Carbon top and bottom with a PVC sandwich on both sides. This layup makes for a stiff board that gives a direct connection to the foil, while it’s still lightweight and strong.
To maximize compatibility with all foil models and riding styles, we added the longest mast tracks available on the market. 42cm / 16.5 inches long.
Finally, we created a custom bag that will hug the AXIS Foil Drive boards, but also has extra depth that will allow to keep AXIS Foil Drive board connected to the Foil Drive system, and still have the board nicely protected.
Sizes available:
5’0” x 19.0”, 50 litres
5’4” x 19.5”, 60 litres
5’8” x 20.0”, 70 litres
While we designed the AXIS Foil Drive boards with Foil Drive Gen2 in mind, these boards will also work great as prone boards, and prone downwind boards, for the more advanced prone riders who have added downwind into their regular foiling routine.
