Hoping its like 8.5 AR

They would be wise to copy the code S like they did the code R

listening to Adrian talk about the process behind this foil on the GFP was not inspiring of confidence. He basically won’t do anything that isn’t justified by first principles understanding of it. It seems like it still has some work to be done before launch though.

Admitted it took a little bit, but it seems Axis did well with the Fireball and now Tempo. I would guess Axis is putting in that same rigor and the surf foil should be pretty good.

yeah fast is fine because you can measure and reason about it. the feeling is less tangible and measurable. I’m hopeful. It at least looks to have some curves to it which seems positively correlated with feeling despite the obvious dislike of them lol

From a French forum, here the sizes

1010 (1076cm2)
950 (949cm2)
890 (835cm2)
830 (728cm2)
780 (643cm2)
740 (590cm2)

Should be online in few weeks

Area or wingspan?

Wingspan with a nod to area (until we get Uniform system of Measuring Wings - #10 by Matt)

First number is the wingspan I guess

Im bad at AR math. What would the aspect ratio be if wingspan is 830 with area 728cm2?

(83 x 83)/728 = 9.46

pretty soon Axis is going to realize that marketing with wingspan is just not a good idea any more. Every single other foil is using area. Riding a 740 Axis surf wing seems totally different than someone riding a 590 - and completely misleading and confusing

All the numbers are made up and meaningless. Small medium and large should be adopted.
