Description
If you’re into pushing the envelope in Prone, SUP or Wake, the AXIS Black Advance+ Fuselage will blow your mind. Designed for anyone looking to push harder, carve tighter turns and feel an even more connected surf experience. The new Advance+ Fuselage is for you!
The current Black Fuselage range is perfectly suited to the majority of riders across all disciplines. That said, the new Axis Black ADVANCE+ fuselage is not intended to replace them but provide options for performance and a more connected feel when pushing the limits. If you are an intermediate or expert surf / wave foiler, this could be a great upgrade for you.
DESIGN FEATURES
This design sees the mast position advanced 40mm closer to the front foil, opening up entirely new options for surf performance. Consequently, the effective length of the rear fuselage to the rear stabilizing foil is increased. For this reason AXIS introduced a new fuselage size the ‘Sillyshort’. When choosing your Advance Black Fuselage, it’s advisable to take this into consideration and perhaps opt for a length shorter than you are used to using.
The Advance+ is compatible with ART and HPS wings, but also suitable for the smaller sizes in PNG and BSC wings. Compared to the current Black fuselage range, these 3 new little siblings provide a looser, faster transition from side-to-side. The sensation is similar to moving fins forward in the tracks on a surfboard, therefore initiating turns becomes easier, which is great in the surf. There is a small trade-off, this ease of turning comes as at the expense of some tracking and speed stability (so expect to have a small effect on upwind ability when winging and a need to adjust pumping technique slightly). If you are into ultra high speed big wave riding, you should consider the regular black fuselages instead.
NOTE: Due to the mast being set 40mm further forward on the fuselage, your baseplate position needs to be 40mm further forward. This will mount the wing in the same position as the normal Black fuselage (40mm, 1.57″).
