AXIS Art 999v2 Review Ride w/Foil Drive & Thoughts

My first impressions of the Axis Foil Art Pro 999v2 with the Foil Drive. Answering questions like: Does the 999 replace the Spitfires or current Art Pro in my collection? Is the 999 good for beginners? Is the Art Pro 999v2 better than the Art Pro 1201? Is the Art Pro v2 999 worth it?

This channel is all about progression in both my riding, but also progression in the video filming and editing. The best of the content is captured and produced with my creative partner Tania. My wife helps film and edit. It has been awesome growing together as a creative team!

I just realized that the 999 is actually smaller than the 900. 1038cm2 vs 1099cm2. It pumps and glides like a bigger foil but turns are quick like the 900. I compared the foil to a 1201 in the video, but it is closer in size to the 900.

Your content is awesome mate. So relatable and believable.. THANK YOU seriously.

[@foilfanatic]

Much appreciated! Word of warning, be careful believing too much of my hype. I tend to get way too excited about anything foiling related. The shorts feed keeps me honest. Hard to fake it if people are watching the reality of day to day riding. 🤙

FYI this is not an Art Pro, it's the Axis ART v2 999

[@foilfanatic]

Thanks! Who knows how long I would be making that mistake if you had not have corrected me!

Magnificent ambassador for FD and Axis…

You are very kind, thanks!

Just looked at this on a big screen tv. My lip is purple! New GH7 camera requires you add color in during the edit process. I was gong for a cinematic look. Unfortunately, I ended up with that being cinematic horror show! The Walking Dead, how very emo. Which brings me to a point: This channel will now focus on two things, foiling progression and filming and edit progress. Bare with me as I figure out how to make this channel look and sound like it is produced by a much bigger team than me and my wife. 💀👾🤖

What fuse and stab are you riding the 999 with?

[@foilfanatic]

358 35 and a crazyshort

Have u tried the smaller sizes? How do they compare

[@foilfanatic]

I have the Art Pro 1001 which requires a thigh high wave to easily get started and it requires you maintain a pretty good clip to keep it from stalling. It is fun when you get it moving, but not practical for the waves I get. I assume the 879 will give me similar results since it has less than 800cm2 area. The 939 has the highest A.R. of the 3 at 10 and a surface area of 900. So I am interested in trying that one eventually for the bigger waves. I am kinda glad Axis only sent 1 for now. I would consider the 999 my Prime wing for Florida and I think Axis may have thought the same . I may ask them to let me try the 939 once I have really nailed this 999 down. I will try the 879 eventually, but it is much lower on the wish list. I have asked them for one of the new prone boards to send next. 🤙

[@conorprovan9435]

Awesome review. Been looking for this. What board and mast are you using with 999?

[@foilfanatic]

Axis Pump 30L and the 800 Ultra Pro mast.

[@finandfoil]

Great review! We’re excited for the future of these wings.
