Find some1-2 ft whitewash and you'll be flying high. At that size it's like being hit by a truck.

Thanks forum-guys, you’ve been super helpful.

I got my first flights today on the 90 litre wing drifter and ART1099. Not on my feet yet, I need to work on my wave selection as I feel like I was 1 or 2 waves away from standing but the cold got to me (it’s winter here).

For other beginners, I was nervous about how twitchy and launchy the foil would be once under way. I’m a wing foiler but…even so.
Nothing like it. The 1099/375P came up like a big ol’ friendly dawg and was smooth and stable. It feels like I’ll have plenty of glide time to get to my feet, too.
Sooooo excited!

Congratulations. AXIS is so good to learn on. Wide wing spans that are super stable. Good choice for the surf.
