Axis Spitfire Review | Excellent for Wing Foil and Prone Foil

In this video, hosts Ryan and Cole explore the new Axis Spitfire wing, offering insights into its performance for both prone foiling and winging. They start by sharing their personal experiences with the Spitfire, emphasizing its exceptional turning capabilities and edge-to-edge performance. Cole, who tried it first while prone foiling, praises its ability to maintain momentum and connect multiple waves without exhausting the rider, a rare feature in wings that excel in pumping. Ryan then delves into his winging experience, agreeing with Cole about the Spitfire's playful nature and impressive turning. He notes that for a high-aspect foil, its turning ability is noteworthy, reflecting Axis's prowess in their art series designs. They discuss the Spitfire's compatibility with the 365 Skinny stabilizer from Axis, designed for high-speed riding, and how it enhances the Spitfire’s performance, especially in winging. A significant part of their discussion revolves around the speed characteristics of the Spitfire. Ryan points out its top-end speed limits during winging, while Cole focuses on its performance in prone foiling. They both agree that the Spitfire handles speed well, whether carving down a wave or winging upwind. The conversation shifts to the low-end speed performance of the Spitfire. Ryan finds it easy to get up and going with the wing, even in less powerful wave conditions, and appreciates its forgiving nature in potential stall situations. Cole echoes this sentiment, noting its forgiving nature during prone foiling, especially when recovering stability after off-balance moments. They highlight a unique design feature of the Spitfire – its consistent width from wingtip to wingtip, which significantly influences its stability and turning performance, especially in turbulent conditions. This design choice, they note, makes the Spitfire a very forgiving wing, reducing pitch changes that can occur with other wings. Concluding their review, Ryan and Cole affirm the Axis Spitfire's exceptional performance in turning, forgiveness in stall speed, and take-off ease, making it an excellent choice for both prone foilers and wingers. Cole specifically recommends it for prone foilers seeking a top-tier experience, while Ryan suggests it for wingers who enjoy carving in the surf.
