I like how the 500 has no benefit over the 750 or 980 in this chart.
I’m thinking of a comparison site where you pick two foils, your weight, your conditions, your skill, your water temp, your aim, and comment on the differences. It’d be super complicated.
I think it’s fun to try different foils, and foiling on a Takuma 500 has made me way better on axis art v 2 999 which is actually 1000mm span.
You’re quoting the volume for the PNG1010. The area is 1430sq cm https://axisfoils.com/products/png-1010-carbon-hydrofoil-wing
Worth a look in 0.25 speed
Wild turn
I just saw on IG what appeared to be a leaked clip of the axis Surge surf foil. Fucking ig wouldn’t let me go back and find it. Looked sick. Think i saw AR 9???
Scroll down.
Found it!

TLDW: it makes you better
Just ordered myself an 830. Should be just right for LV in January 
Plot twist… got the 830 and prefer my lift 90 ha for prone and wing. Sold it next day.
I’ve heard the Lift 90HA is difficult to pump. How did the ease of pumping compare between the 90HA and Surge 830? How does the 830 compare to the Lift 120HA?
I’ve never tried the 90HA. I’ve had one session on the Surge 890 in WH+ waves and I thought it was more user-friendly to pump than the Lift 120HA.
830 pumps somewhere in between 90 and 120. Iv gotten back into longboard surfing and only prone foil on glassy 2-3ft days when its easy to pump the 90. When i use to grab a bigger foil to pump against wind or current, i prefer to surf over foil nowadays… 90 is pumpable as long as you keep mast and speed high
Thank you for your thoughts. It seems the Surge 780 (643 cm2) or 740 (590 cm2) would be a better comparison with the Lift 90 (580 cm2). The 830 (728 cm2) is bigger and lower aspect ratio.
830 has a similar wingspan to lift 90. Low end is less important to me than when i first started. Once both foils at speed, which one feels better is my concern and wingspan is more relevant here.
And the 90 just feels better
Anybody else have feedback on the Surge? The 890 say compared to a Code S 850-980?
Luke Atkinson makes it look really nice!
