So how big waves do you need to flag out the wing completely?
I had my fourth session today and tried to catch some knee- to waist high waves with my Axis HPS 1050(also tried my BSC 890). I held my wing over head so I could pull in my back hand to get a little help staying on foil, but I wasn't able to flag out the wing by the front handle. Being a beginner I'm not very good at pumping yet, so that could be the problem, but I wonder how small waves you guys are able to surf with no power in the wing.

Btw if the 890 gets up earlier than the 1050, what would the benefit of owning the 1050 be?

Thanks for the writeup. The decision to buy the BSC 890 was a bit random since I found a second hand one and since there isn't much information about it here. But I have wondered if max speed is really what toy want on the waves. I guess you will need more turns on a faster HPS Than a BSC to stay on, and not outrun the wave(but turns are fun of course). I saw the interview with Gunnar Biniach where he talks about prefering low aspect in waves. I've only used my chunky Slingshot Spaceskate which was fun, but hard to hold down when the speed increased down the wave.
This forum is really a goldmine of information! Happy to join the Axis bandwagon. Could be an expensive step for a guy that loves to test and tweak everything possible.

So after reading the whole damn thread here, I've finally decided to buy an Axis as my first foil for winging.
I found a great deal on a BSC 890, with short fuselage and 390 stab. I imagine this will be my high wind/wave foil, but I probably need a bigger wing for learning and lighter winds.
I've foiled one season with a kite, so hopefully it won't be too frustrating to get started. Which b-series wing would you recommend as a bigger wing to get started? HPS 1050? HPS 980 too much overlap?
