Anyone have a link to (part of) the 3+ hour pump fest done on this thing?
More interested in their new tails, axisfoils.com/collections/skinny-rear-wings
Jeremy is a beast! But, I'm sort of convinced that anyone who is that good at foiling is a terrible beta tester for gear that I would actually be riding haha.
I posted this on the Zone under my other name daswusup
1st session on 1201 today. KD Marlin tail 1deg shim, HM 900, sillyshort advance, 80 liter moonbuddy 5.0 strapless.
Me: 180lbs.
Wind was a little "whore's panties" 5-15mph but had a lot of time on foil gliding in nearly nothing on SS V3 4M
Turning: right between the 1300 and 1099. Closer to the 1099. This wing turns plenty good to be fun winging. Like all foils, if I kept it high in the column it turned a lot better. It felt like I could skid it into turns with my hips. I think footstraps will help turn this beast.
Glide: retarded. Comparable to 1300
Pump: really easy to flag and pump n glide as far as I wanted. Easy to dig out of holes and get back up high on mast. Cadence was similar to 1300(slower pumps than 1099)
Speed: It was fun to be able to go down sub 1099 to a walking pace to slash some lake chop. It also goes really fast when pushed. It didn't seem as locked in at speed as the other ART's.
Stiffness: Stiffer than the 1099 in crossed up lake chop. I was worried about this and am relieved that its all good.
Pitch: It seemed a bit more pitchy than 1099 but I feel like I am just getting used to it. I am keen to try my crazyshort regular fuse and see.
I am stoked on this wing! I think it will replace my beloved 1099 and maybe the 1300 too. I will try it on a flatwater paddle up tomorrow and see if I still need the 1300. I am super into riding backwinded for long reaches and this wing was easiest I've done that with.
Senditbr?!
