Behind the Design

Adrian Roper of AXIS Foils on the New Spitfire Range

Here at Water Nomads, we’re always excited when a new product drops from a top-tier brand, and the launch of the all-new Spitfire range from AXIS has been no exception. To get the real story behind the design and innovation, there’s no better source than the man himself: Adrian Roper, the founder and head designer of AXIS Foils.

The Generic Foiling Podcast managed to sit down with Adrian for a conversation that is an absolute must-listen for anyone passionate about foiling. Adrian is a fascinating figure with a long and storied background in windsurfing and kitesurfing, which has given him a unique perspective on the evolution of watersports and the direction of foiling today.

This isn’t a quick chat—this is a deep, technical dive into the world of foil design. Over two hours, Adrian and the podcast hosts, Liam and Freddie, get into the nitty-gritty of what makes the Spitfire so special. You’ll hear about the engineering philosophy, the meticulous testing process, and the fine-tuned details that result in a foil that turns effortlessly and inspires confidence on the water. It’s an invaluable chance to gain a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into creating the gear we love.

Grab a coffee, settle in, and get ready to be inspired by one of the industry’s true pioneers. You won’t regret it.
