Axis HPS - front wing

Maintenance of the AXIS HPS front wing

The front wing is made of carbon and will last for many years with a little care. Follow these simple tips after each session:

• Rinsing: Rinse the wing with fresh water after use, especially after sailing in salt water, so salt and dirt don't settle on the wing, screw holes, and fittings.
• Cleaning: Wipe the wing with a soft cloth and, if needed, mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, and abrasives that could damage the finish.
• Drying: Let the wing dry completely in the shade before putting it in the bag. Moisture and direct sunlight are not a good combination for carbon and the finish.
• Storage: Store the wing in the padded AXIS cover provided, in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. UV light gradually degrades both the materials and the finish.
• Transport: Always use the cover when transporting the wing, and avoid placing heavy objects on top of it in the car or trunk.
• Check before use: Regularly check the wing, screw holes, and fittings for cracks, dents, or wear, and make sure the screws are tightened correctly before heading out on the water.

What is the AXIS HPS Front Wing?

HPS is AXIS' High Performance Speed front wing in carbon – a high-aspect wing built for speed and glide, while remaining stable and predictable to control.

Which sports is HPS suitable for?

The wing is especially popular for wing foiling at all levels, but it is also a great choice for downwind, prone, SUP, wake, pump, windsurf- and kite foiling when you want more speed.

Is HPS only for experienced foilers?

No – although the wing is built for performance, AXIS regularly sees riders progressing to HPS after just a few sessions once they have mastered the basics. Choose a size based on your weight, board, and the conditions you usually ride in.

What sizes is HPS available in?

The range covers seven sizes, with a span from 650 to 1050 mm – the larger the wing, the more lift and glide; the smaller the wing, the more speed and maneuverability.

Which fuselage fits HPS?

HPS wings are only compatible with AXIS Black Series fuselages, so check that your foil setup is based on one of them.

What is included when I buy the wing?

A padded AXIS cover with a zipper is included for storage and transport. Screws are not included, so remember to add an AXIS screwset to your order if you don't already have one.

How do I best care for my carbon front wing?

Rinse the wing with fresh water after use in salt water, let it dry in the shade, and store it in the included padded bag away from direct sunlight. Regularly check the screws and fittings before heading out.
