PNG V2 1300 RELEASE
AXIS 2024
The Downwind Legend Returns Introducing the AXIS PNG 1300 v2
In 2020, the original PNG 1300 made history. Its massive 1300mm wingspan and high-aspect design, well ahead of its time, became the go-to foil for downwind foiling. Its blend of early takeoff, impressive glide, and intuitive pumping made the challenging world of downwind accessible to a new generation of riders.
Now, after meticulous refinement, AXIS is proud to announce the PNG 1300 v2. This isn’t just an update; it’s a completely reimagined wing that enhances everything you loved about the original while adding new levels of performance you wouldn’t have thought possible on a wing of this size.
All the Best Features, Supercharged
The new PNG 1300 v2 retains the best qualities of its predecessor but takes them to the next level. Thanks to a finely tuned High Camber / Low-drag foil section, the v2 boasts:
- Exceptional Low Stall Speed: Get on foil earlier and stay there longer, even in the weakest wind or swell.
- Reduced Drag & Higher Top Speed: Its new design allows for a higher top speed and more efficient glide, letting you connect bumps with ease.
- Vastly Improved Turning: The v2 offers more agile and predictable maneuvering than the original, making it easier to navigate bumps and recover from mistakes.
- Unrivaled Pumping: With a balanced lift distribution, pumping is a breeze, and you’ll be amazed at how much further you can glide between pumps without losing speed or height.
Despite a slightly reduced surface area (1632cm² vs 1712cm²), the v2’s new foil section delivers the same incredible capacity for early lift, making it the ultimate tool for downwind beginners and advanced riders alike.
A True All-Rounder for Every Discipline
The PNG 1300 v2 isn’t just for downwind—it’s a performance-driven weapon for a wide range of foiling disciplines.
- Dock Starters: The low stall speed, low drag, and amazing glide make it an ideal progression tool for mastering dock starts.
- SUP/Prone Surfers: This wing’s lift and early-planing ability are astounding in micro-waves and low-energy surf, allowing you to catch waves you would have missed otherwise.
- Wingers: The PNG 1300 v2 is a game-changer for ultra-light wind sessions, getting you flying before anyone else and making those days fun again.
For an optimal setup, the new PNG 1300 v2 runs on the AXIS Black fuselage series, and we recommend pairing it with the latest Black Advance+ range.
