How is the 390 with the S1020 and S1010 ?

After two sessions, one kite, one wing, the 390 with 1010 combo is working great. A lot better support back there than expected, even at a near standstill a few times. Would also mention since it was my first time on the 1010 that the slower roll rate with that wingspan definitely makes it easier to switch feet. Interestingly to me at least (and I can't quantify this yet), the 1010 definitely feels slower than my Gong L pro (which is 100cm2 smaller though), was really expecting to feel the opposite.

More testing today hopefully with the kite. Won't be winging two days in a row until I get the harness figured out, I'm really sore :(

The 390 rear wing is making the 1010 slow, try it on a 340 and it'll speed it up.

I have been using 1000 and 1020 with a 400 tail but just got my hands on a 1010 plus 390 and 460 tail wings.
I've spent a bit of time SUP surfing some small waves with them but looking forward to some wind to try out some different combo's with the wing.

I was trying to get a 390 but all Mark had in Maui was a 340. In theory, I was just trying it out, in practice, I thought it was fine and kept it. For some reason, I haven't used it winging yet, but as soon as we have some brisk wind instead of the semi-light or strong but east wind we've been having I'm going to give it a go. I expect it will be great.

Hey Bill, we should trade stabs for a session, my 390 and your 340. Maybe next week, looks like we get back into a more predictable wind pattern.

 FL, it could be the larger board is just making it feel slower. Everything happens with a delay on the 6'11" vs the 4'5" which is 1/3 the weight. I think the 1010 is going to be a superb downwinding wing for our larger sized swells (winging). I pushed it into turns a little harder today and it will likely tighten those up even further with practice, that will be good enough for our conditions. Was afraid I'd be breaching tips but on the 90 mast so far it's been no problem. It's mine for at least the summer and I'm happy about it ;D

You definitely need to push the 1010 to turn it, my 1020 turns without thinking, the 1010 takes commitment and intention. I learned to turn it better by doing a lot of swooping around on it while mowing the river.

I wonder if Axis will introduce a wing bigger than their 1020 like Armstrong CF2400?

The difference in size between the 1020 and 2400 isn't much. From looking at profiles I think the 1020 has more projected area. The bigger the foil gets, the slower it's going to be. With the way markets are moving, I think faster profiles, more glide, maybe wing specific shapes and down winder racing will be where there attention in design is going.

Fl what tails are you pairing with your various front wings?

The 1020 has a much higher aspect ratio than the 2400.  Armstrong is the one that needs to make a wing like the 1020.

For 1010 the 460 if I want more distance and stability in the pump with a little bit of turn. The 340 for super good turning. The 370 I let my buddies use when trying the 1010 so it's not too loose but still has good speed.
The 1000 I'll use the 370 or 340. The 1000 is for if I'm winging. If I drop in swell, I'll cut back and forth on the same swell, with the 390, it's more of a drop in swell and keep on it without going back and forth, sort of just ride the pocket.
All this is preference, you really need to try a few wings to see what fits your riding style. Once you feel it, you'll know instantly. Also what is good on a sup, prone, wing can all be different. The 390 also adds stability to the 1010 and helps with the aggressive turns in high winds but that's with the ultra short fuselage. So change of fuselage is a whole switch up of feeling also.
My main set up is the 1010 ultra short fuselage and 340 rear. Lets me pump quickly in the flat sections and get the turns in fast with continuous lift in the turn for catching the next wave

Saw this wing on the Axis Facebook page. 

Maybe a 760?  They are calling it part of the surf performance line but no mention of size.  That looks really good.

760 and 860 may be a great blend for winging.

Looks like Florida. Flkiter has probably ridden it. He is here today with the 1150 for me to try. He also brought me two more 390 tails. I’ve got 4 of them now. One to go with every front wing we own.

Can't really give out details on the stuff coming out yet. Soon Axis will let us but all I can say is you will not be disappointed with what's coming. I've been really happy with what I've been able to test so far. If you want to see the 860, I think it was the 860 in action, check out Larry foiler. He has an awesome vid of it.
