What role does the latest release – the Black Series fuselage – have in the AXIS foil range?
As we were developing the new collection for 2021, we wanted to push speed and higher performance on some of our foils. Winging is becoming a big part of foiling, and with winging you get the ability to go faster. Much faster than with most other forms of foiling. So we wanted to add faster wings that would push the winging progression further.
