Introducing the AXIS Fireball
The world of foil racing and high-performance foiling is evolving fast, and the AXIS Fireball front wing range is leading the charge. Designed with downwind racing in mind, this ultra-high aspect wing is proving to be a game-changer for wing foiling, prone foiling, and downwind SUP. If you're looking to push your limits, improve efficiency, and maximize speed and glide, the Fireball might just be your next go-to foil.
What Makes the Fireball Special?
When AXIS set out to create a high-speed, high-performance foil, they focused on four key attributes: efficiency, glide, lift, and stability. The result? A foil that combines early lift, insane top-end speed, and effortless pumping ability, making it a top choice for intermediate to advanced riders across multiple foiling disciplines.
Key Features of the AXIS Fireball:
-
Ultra-High Modulus Carbon Construction – Extreme stiffness allows for maximum energy transfer, making the Fireball incredibly responsive and efficient.
-
Aspect Ratio 13 – One of the highest AR foils AXIS has ever produced, reducing drag while improving speed and pumpability.
-
High Lift, Low Drag – The new foil section delivers effortless lift and exceptional efficiency across a broad speed range.
-
Pumping & Glide – The Fireball’s ability to hold onto bumps and extend rides means longer sessions with less effort.
-
Versatile Use – Although designed for downwind SUP foiling, the Fireball also shines for wing foiling, prone foiling, and even high-speed kite foiling.
Who is the Fireball For?
If you love speed, glide, and efficiency, the AXIS Fireball is designed for you. Whether you're a downwind foiling enthusiast, a wing foiler looking to maximize range, or a prone foiler chasing endless waves, this foil delivers serious performance.

Why Wing Foilers Are Loving the Fireball
