I know I'm not usually one for talking much in vids, but here's a little product vid I put together for the new AXIS wakestyle line and more specifically some finer details about the 141cm Tranq. Hopefully some people find it midly informative.

Pretty sure they are $599. Maybe Kite-power, Intheloop or someone else could chime in with a better answer .

Nice looking board. Quick question if i wasnt going to hit any obstacles just freestyle would the vanguard be more suited (i presume the tranq would have softer landings?) and also how does it go at the cable park??

Last years were $699 deck only, haven't seen pricing for these ones yet but I expect them to be the same :)

AUD$699 deck with the 18mm fins for the Bootleg, Billy and Tranq.
If you want more of a boot riding freestyle board, that you cannot ride obstacles the Limited, Vanguard or Division would be fine.
These all have around 40mm rocker depending upon the size so a lot flatter than the Tranq which is 58mm.
The Limited have been a favourite for team riders for PKRA style comp riding.

Hey Adrian do you recommend riding the Limited with boots? It's so thin and light (which is awesome), I'm worried my 85kg would rip the inserts out in a big stack!

@Antoine


The Limited is definitely designed to be able to take boots. It has block inserts in it that can withstand a good beating. I think you'll love how it rides booted up. My only question is how are you going to do board offs with boots on.....
