Axis Skinny Stabilizer Vs. Axis Progressive Stabilizer | Which One is Better for You?

Ryan and Cole from MACkiteboarding.com discuss the Axis Skinny and Axis Progressive Stabilizers, emphasizing their impact on foil performance in wing foiling. They note that stabilizers are often overlooked but can significantly upgrade or alter foil characteristics.
Key Differences between Axis Skinny and Progressive Stabilizers:
Shape: The Skinny is noticeably slimmer than the Progressive, which is reflected in their names.
Performance (Skinny): The Skinny, with its higher aspect ratio, offers less drag and higher speed. It's ideal for riding big waves, achieving more glide, and is suitable for high-speed situations. However, it may not pair well with certain Axis front wings like the PNG or BSC.
Performance (Progressive): The Progressive stabilizer has more cord length and a lower aspect ratio, resulting in a shorter wingspan. It enables more aggressive turns and is better suited for maneuvers than the Skinny.
Pumping Efficiency: The Skinny excels in pumping due to its high aspect ratio, allowing for greater speed and less drag. The Progressive, being thicker, can feel like it's applying brakes compared to the Skinny.
Compatibility and Usage: The choice between Skinny and Progressive depends on the desired riding style. The Skinny is best for speed and pumping, while the Progressive is more suited for surf-style riding and carving.
Ryan and Cole advise that stabilizers are a cost-effective way to enhance the foil experience without needing a completely new setup. They suggest experimenting with different stabilizers to find the best fit for one’s style and unlock new performance levels in wing foiling.
