New Axis Kiteboarding Maroro Foilboard Range

[gmb13]

We are making quite a lot of progress in the testing and tuning of the foil.

Today was pretty cool. Managed to reach a Vmax of 34 Knots in some pretty sketchy conditions.

If we keep getting good results like this, then it won't be long until we announce the launch

Gunnar, buddy, please tell the people at Axis to add centered front inserts for a "2 straps" set up on their Maroro boards. As far as I can see right now it is "3 straps or strapless".
Great looking products, btw !

Cheers

On all of them, or just the surfboards? I don't see the point of having a 2 strap option on a Raceboard.

I think Andoni wnats to say just the surfboards , because all surfboards have the 2 straps option so you can ride strapless or 2 straps option or foil wiht with 3 straps

That foil design and assembly looks really really nice. Definitely one to watch!

Please take the time to put the cherry on top of what looks like a great package. Offer it with a well thought out case. Something simple, small, and padded: Simple sleeve for the mast/strut with end covers and a simple padded case with divider to nest the stabilizer in the main wing. Don't forget the pocket for the allen key and 4 bolts. No one has made an impressive case for their foil yet. Complete the package, and you will sell more than the cost of your efforts. Kiters are nerdy!

I would like the option of three or two straps because you have the ability to place a dense foam core stop at the front foot position when riding strapless.
I think it's worth it to have it.

How about this one:

I have that one. I love the foil but the bag is under done. It's not very robust and showing a lot of wear considering I only used it for a month. I no longer fully disassemble the foil day to day. Saves heaps of time and wear to the bolt heads but requires a different storage bag. I only detach the foil from the board and the fuse from the strut. The wings stay on the fuse full time. I still use their strut end cover and made a padded sleeve for the strut itself. Then modified the sleeve for the main wing so it fits while still on the fuse and made another for the stab. The fuse remains unpadded....but its straight up aluminum and has no sharp edges. The two pieces go in a bag that can carry whatever other gear Im going to use that day to the launch. One bag one board.

The Maroro foil looks quick to assemble and would require only two form fitting containers. A padded sleeve for the strut and a bag for the wings. The stabilizer nested in the main wing. You could easily design those two pieces as a single streamlined bag with a shoulder strap so its basically the size of the strut, easily carried hands free and well suited to packing in luggage.

How about a repurposed Bass Case?

Plenty of room, bomber strong for protection if traveling or even to chuck in the car.

just grap some soft foam, cut out some custom slots and away you go...

Thinking of something more along these lines.
