The AXIS Black High Performance Speed (HPS) Foil set up makes high performance foiling accessible to everyone.
While this foil is unashamedly designed for speed and glide, the real achievement is how easy it is to use for almost all levels of rider. Where some brands’ high aspect foils are often a more unstable ride, more geared towards expert riders, AXIS have seen people jump on HPS and rip after just a few sessions mastering the basics on higher lift foils.
The camber of the HPS, a key variable in the lift versus drag trade-off, is also the lowest in the AXIS front wing range. And the high-speed suitability makes it a natural choice for wing and kite foiling.
HPS foils are ideally matched with the Progressive or Speed rear wing ranges.

- 105cm – great for big swell downwinders
- 90cm – the choice of big wave enthusiasts and tow-ins, when combined with the S-Series 680 front wing. It’s also the choice of downwinder pros when competing in open ocean swell.

- 75cm – used on bigger surf, downwinders and more advanced riding with the S-Series foil.
- 68cm – most common foil mast length for prone surf foiling and all round SUP.
- 60cm – most common mast that you will start putting hours on. Some riders might never need a taller mast, depending on their style, local conditions or discipline.
- 45cm – ideal for your first flights, while you are learning how to foil or in shallower waters.
Carbon Masts in the HPS Series:
Whether winging at speed, laying deep carves on a wave face or pumping and linking up swells on a downwinder. AXIS Power Carbon masts enter a new realm of control and connection between board and foil.
The new AXIS Power Carbon masts are available in two models, the Power Carbon and Power Carbon – High Modulus, the latter providing additional strength and 35% more bend resistance than our industry-leading 19mm aluminium mast. The High Modulus will be the mast of choice for the most discerning rider seeking ultimate performance, and heavier riders using our larger span foils.
- 102cm – For wide high aspect front foils, big wave and tow-ins, wing foil, wind foil and kite foil.
