AXIS Black Series Fuselage

FAQ

For which applications is the AXIS Black-Series Fuselage suitable?

The AXIS Black-Series Fuselage is designed for wing foiling, windsurfing, kite foiling, prone surfing, and pump foiling. The five available lengths cover a range of riding styles, from agile carving to stable straight-line tracking, allowing you to choose the setup that best suits your conditions and skill level.

Which front wings are compatible with the black fuselage?

The black fuselage is designed for the AXIS HPS and smaller BSC front wings, providing a suitable, slimmer connection and the necessary stiffness. Make sure your chosen front wing is from this range to ensure a clean fit.

Are all rear wings and masts compatible with the Black-Series Fuselage?

Yes, all AXIS rear wings and all AXIS masts are compatible with the black fuselage. Only the front wing selection is limited to specific profiles to ensure that the profile, connection, and stiffness are properly matched.

Do I need additional accessories to mount the Black Fuselage?

No additional adapter is required when mounting it on an AXIS carbon mast. For an AXIS aluminium mast, you will need the AXIS mast adapter set, also known as the Doodad, in 19 mm or 16 mm. You will also need the appropriate stainless steel or titanium screw set to fasten the Black Fuselage.

Which fuselage length is right for my riding style?

Generally, the longer the fuselage, the more stable and track-true the foil will be when riding straight. The shorter the fuselage, the looser and more agile it will feel. This allows you to choose the right compromise between maximum control and agile carving to suit your riding style.

In what sizes is the AXIS Black-Series Fuselage available?

The Black-Series Fuselage is available in five lengths: Crazyshort at 603 mm, Ultrashort at 643 mm, Short at 703 mm, Standard at 784 mm, and the windsurf version at 899 mm. This means you can find the right setup for every application.

Which discipline is the longest windsurf fuselage designed for?

The longest version at 899 mm is designed as a windsurf fuselage and provides maximum stability and track-true performance. It is particularly suitable if you are getting onto the foil with a windsurf rig and prefer a smooth, secure ride.

What should I keep in mind when switching between a short and long fuselage?

Changing the fuselage alters the distance between the front and rear wings, which has a direct impact on agility and stability. After each change, consciously test the wing position and setup to ensure your riding feel is properly adjusted to the chosen length.
