Ive started riding a foil assist (a home made version of the Duotone waist setup) and have been using my old Axis gear. Mostly a PNG1150 & Progressive 400 tail, but now I'm starting to ride waves (the bumps at Mooloolaba) and find the PNG turns like a brick . So after a next progression and ideally looking to ride in the surf (non breakng). Any recommendations. I am after something that can extend the session.. so god glide and pump but can also curve (more mellow carving.. nothing too full on). Any recommendations?
I spoke to a bloke who loves his Armstrong HA980 and finds is carves really well and pumps great. He thought the MA's didn't pump (and glide) nearly as well.
So looked up the nearest equivalent from Axis looks like the ART v2 999. Looks like a good option.
Also I'm on an old aluminium mast... so now wondering if i am to move to a carbon mast should i move over to Armstrong or Code while at it???
Might be a religious debate. But interested to hear others thoughts.
Thanks

Just had my first session on the new Axis Surge 1010, even though it is smaller than the ARTv2 1099 it has great lift and a super early start. This is due to the high camber foil section that the ARTv2 doesn't have.
This gives a longer runtime and less power required to get going.
