Each member of the ARTPRORange (More sizes and details to follow soon) is a wing in its own right, not simply scaled versions of its closest sibling, all the wings share the following:
An extended elliptical outline, with the tips removed.
A straight median line for better turning and control.
Narrower chords for lower drag overall.
Less overall turn down especially in the tips.
Less complicated shapes in general.
These are fast high performance wings and as such are perhaps not as accessible to intermediate riders as theART’sthat proceeded them. While they deliver amazing performance characteristics, they are relatively easy for mere mortals to ride.
ART (AXIS RESEARCH TEAM)
ART looks and feels like nothing else. On the water these wings blow your mind! The ART sits at the forefront of wing design and development, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for a foil. The incredible speed and glide of this wing, coupled with effortless pump and efficiency, enables you to ride the smallest lump way further outside the surf zone than ever before. What separates this wing from the pack is how well it turns, rolling effortlessly between turns comparable to a surf wing.
Despite these high-performance features of the ART is a surprisingly user friendly wing.
The stall speed is incomparably low, giving even advanced beginner to intermediate riders an accessible platform for learning to pump and rapid progression.
Thoroughly tested and approved after several rounds of refinement, these reduced chord, high aspect wings are the most advanced, hydrodynamically efficient foil design on the market today. When combined with an AXIS Power Carbon or Power Carbon High Modulus mast and AXIS Progressive rear wings, they provide the ultimate friction free ride.
All of this new found performance; also required a rethink of the rear stabiliser range from Axis. This gave birth and rise to the all new Axis Skinnies Rear Stabiliser.
