AXIS SPITFIRE 960 Complete Wing Hydrofoil with 1196cm² Front Wing and 7.84 Aspect Ratio for Freeride and Wave Riding

The SPITFIRE 960 complete hydrofoil package provides a balanced platform for wing foilers who want to progress beyond basic straight-line riding and develop more confident freeride and wave performance.

Rather than focusing exclusively on maximum glide or top speed, the SPITFIRE 960 combines usable acceleration, responsive turning and predictable control. This creates a versatile riding character for open-water cruising, carving and wave-oriented wing sessions.

The 1196cm² front wing provides a practical balance between low-speed support and maneuverability.

Its moderate 7.84 aspect ratio gives it a more compact, controllable turning response than very wide high-aspect wings. The foil can move smoothly from rail to rail, allowing the rider to change direction progressively and maintain control through variable water conditions.

The SPITFIRE 960 retains sufficient glide and pumping efficiency for connecting sections without making the foil feel locked into a straight line.

For intermediate wing foilers, the SPITFIRE 960 can support progression into tighter turns, wave riding and more active foil control.

Its predictable pitch and roll response helps the rider understand how pressure changes affect direction. As confidence develops, the foil can be pushed into steeper carving angles and more dynamic transitions.

The exact suitability depends on rider weight, skill, wind strength, board choice and selected package configuration.

When wing foiling in waves, riders often require enough glide to reach the next section but also need immediate control when the wave changes shape.

The SPITFIRE 960 balances these requirements. Its elliptical outline supports smooth turning, while the controlled breach behavior helps when a tip approaches the surface during aggressive carving.

It suits riders who want a surf-oriented feeling without moving directly to a very small, demanding front wing.

This package is primarily suitable for:

• Intermediate wing foilers developing freeride and carving skills
• Riders moving from stable beginner foils to a more responsive setup
• Wing foilers combining open-water riding with wave sessions
• Riders prioritizing turning control over maximum straight-line glide
• Customers seeking one complete hydrofoil for several riding environments

A larger front wing may suit heavier beginners or consistently light-wind conditions. Advanced riders in strong wind may prefer a smaller SPITFIRE for faster, tighter handling.
