The AXIS Tempo Range Released
AXIS 2025
AXIS Tempo: The Foil Revolution Explained
The watersports world is buzzing. AXIS Foils has once again reset the performance benchmark with the release of the Tempo foil range and the complementary Skinny Surf rear wings. This gear is built for riders demanding the extraordinary, and understanding what makes it so revolutionary is essential for any serious foiler planning their next big trip.
The Tempo System: Ultra-Rigidity Meets Intuitive Flight
The AXIS Tempo is billed as more than an upgrade—it’s a complete revolution in high-aspect foiling. As AXIS pushes towards lower volumes and higher aspect ratios, they’ve engineered the entire system for greater hydrodynamic efficiency.
Key innovations that define the Tempo:
Ti Link Fuselage: This innovative titanium fuselage is the backbone of the system. It’s engineered for extreme rigidity, providing the stiffest, sleeker, and fastest connection AXIS has ever built. This ultra-rigid connection translates directly into a more responsive and intuitive ride, allowing for pinpoint control.
- Next-Level Construction: The Tempo integrates Ultra-High Modulus carbon fibre with aerospace-grade titanium from the Ti Link. This premium construction minimizes drag and maximizes lightweight responsiveness, giving intermediate and advanced riders a new feeling of flow and speed.
- Accessibility: Despite its low surface area, AXIS emphasizes that the Tempo range is surprisingly accessible, making it the ultimate weapon for those ready to push their speed and progression limits.
Skinny Surf: Precision Control in the Waves
Complementing the Tempo range is the new five-size range of Link Skinny rear wings, including the performance-focused Skinny Surf models.
Designed for speed and control when winging, prone, or SUP foiling in waves, the Skinny Surf wings are smaller and tuned to handle competition speeds. They deliver stability and unmatched glide, crucially improving yaw control. This means riders can execute fades, adjustments, and redirects with greater precision, maintaining connection to the wave face even when pushing hard.
The Ultimate Destination for High-Performance Foiling
The AXIS Tempo is designed for world-class conditions, and few places on earth offer the sheer diversity and untouched beauty of New Zealand (Aotearoa). From the thermal winds of the South Island lakes to the epic ocean swells of Northland, this country is a wingfoiler’s paradise.
