Axis Black Fuselages

With a little care, your Axis fuselage will stay in top shape season after season. Follow these simple tips after every session on the water.

• Rinse with fresh water: Rinse the fuselage thoroughly with fresh water after use – especially after riding in salt water – to keep salt and dirt from building up on the connections and threads.
• Gentle cleaning: If needed, use lukewarm water and mild soap with a soft cloth. Avoid scouring pads, harsh chemicals, and pressure washers close to threads and joints.
• Dry before storing: Wipe the fuselage completely dry with a soft, dry cloth before packing it away to prevent buildup.
• Storage: Store the part somewhere dry and cool, protected from direct sunlight – preferably in a fuselage cover or padded bag.
• Check screws and threads: Regularly check screws, threads, and connections for wear or damage, and tighten them before every session.
• Safe transport: Use protection during transport, and avoid dropping or knocking the fuselage – it’s a precision part of your foil setup.

Which front wings fit Axis Black Fuselages?

The black fuselages are designed for Axis HPS front wings, which can only be used with the black fuselages. They also fit the smaller sizes in the PNG series. Always check your front wing’s compatibility before ordering.

Can I use the fuselage with my Axis mast?

Yes, it’s compatible with both the Aluminium and Carbon series. For an aluminium mast, you’ll need Axis’ Doodad adapter (19 mm), while a carbon mast attaches directly.

Which length should I choose?

The black fuselages come in four lengths: 603 mm (Crazy Short), 643 mm (Ultra Short), 703 mm (Short), and 784 mm (Standard). Choose a longer fuselage if stability is your priority, and a shorter one if you want looser, faster turns.

Can I use my current rear wing?

Yes. All Axis rear wings can be used with the black fuselages - you only need to check compatibility for the front wing.

Which screws do I need for the black fuselages?

The black fuselages require a stainless steel or titanium screw set because the connection on the thin wings is smaller than on the classic fuselages.

What’s the difference between the black and red Axis fuselages?

The black fuselages are designed for the thin, fast foil profile of HPS front wings, and HPS front wings can only be used with the black fuselages. So if you ride an HPS front wing, the black fuselage is a must.

How do I maintain my fuselage?

Rinse it with fresh water after use - especially after salt water - and dry it off before putting it away. Store it somewhere dry, and regularly check and tighten the screws.

Is the black fuselage suitable for wing foiling?

Yes. It’s designed for Axis HPS front wings, which are used for everything from wing and downwind to SUP, wake, pump, and kite - choose your fuselage length and wings to suit your discipline.
