AXIS 2024 – Spitfire 1180 Released

The AXIS Spitfire range has earned a reputation for its smooth turns and intuitive performance. Now, the family is growing to include a wing for bigger riders and those who want to master marginal conditions. The new Spitfire 1180 brings that same user-friendly magic to a larger size, opening up downwinding and light wind sessions to a whole new audience.

The Spitfire 1180 was developed specifically for challenging conditions, with an increased camber that sets it apart from the rest of the Spitfire family. The result is a wing that feels incredibly balanced and comfortable from the moment you hit the water.

Performance Where It Counts

This wing delivers a unique combination of features that make it a powerhouse in a variety of disciplines:

• Easy Lift and Low-End Glide: The 1180 foils up effortlessly and has an incredible low-end glide, making it perfect for light winds and small bumps. You’ll be flying while others are still waiting for the conditions to pick up.
• Predictable Turning: For such a large wing, the 1180 turns with remarkable smoothness and control. This makes it an amazing downwind foil, as it’s easy to stay on a bump without having to run at the high speeds demanded by more race-oriented wings.
• Forgiving and Stable: Breaches and tip-outs are a non-issue with the 1180. It recovers quickly and predictably, giving you the confidence to push your limits.
• Dock Starting & Pumping: Its easy lift and forgiving nature make the 1180 a new favorite for our team riders. It’s fun, nimble, and a fantastic tool for learning and perfecting your dock starts.

The Spitfire 1180 is a weapon for light-wind wing foiling and a great choice for bigger riders in the wake. It shares the same easy, predictable nature as the rest of the Spitfire range, proving that you can have a high-performance wing that is also incredibly user-friendly.
