AXIS BLACK ART V2 SERIES FRONT FENDER - 1099

AXIS ART V2 1099: A Perfect Alliance of Performance and Ease of Use

The AXIS ART V2 1099 immediately catches the eye as a remarkable balance between the ART Pro series and the Spitfire series. Its design fuses the speed and glide of the ART Pro with the maneuverability and responsiveness of the Spitfire, creating a versatile foil right out of the box.

Small wave performance

During our first tests in the small, light waves of San Francisco Bay, the 1099 immediately impressed us with its pumping performance. It pumps with more power without requiring a high level of finesse, offering a feeling of control and efficiency, especially on small waves where pumping usually requires more effort.

Handling and turning

On bigger waves, the 1099 reveals its full potential. Its turns and changes of direction are fluid, allowing for sharper, more responsive movements with ease. A notable asset is its tolerance to tips coming out of the water: this goes unnoticed, reinforcing stability and confidence during the session.

Ideal balance

The AXIS ART V2 1099 offers a perfect balance between performance and ease of use. It's an excellent choice for foilers looking for a stable, pumpable foil with optimal handling and responsiveness. Whether you're looking to ride small waves or perfect your pumping technique, the 1099 excels without requiring too much finesse, making it accessible to intermediate to advanced riders. The ART V2 1099 is the ideal solution for light-wind wingfoil sessions, small waves in SUP, downwind, parawing, foil drive or prone foil. For wakefoil, it also offers excellent control on front and back waves.

Team member's opinion:

"The ART V2 is exactly the style of kite I was looking for. Recently in Chicama, the Spitfire was perfect for rolling and curving, but the waves were so long that the ART V2, with a little less roll but better glide, was the ideal foil for most days."
