This is the ultimate pump foiling / dock starting set up. There is nothing else out there that compares. Flying above the water on a hydrofoil is an experience like no other. The front wing of the hydrofoil is the most important factor when setting up your hydrofoil, as the lift, drag and thrust are affected most by the front wing selection. The large area and high aspect ratio, combined with an effective lifting foil cross section makes this wing great at pumping long distances, even for large riders. The mast connects the board of the foil to the glider section. The Axis Aluminium 750mm mast is long enough to fly above passing wakes, yet short enough to maintain control of the foil and is a great choice for the majority of riders. The rear wing helps control pitch and also provides thrust during pumping. The 460 for example provides both excellent thrust during pumping and low drag while flying, which helps reduce the overall pumping power needed. When the Ultimate Pump foil is paired with a shorter, low volume board, the energy needed to pump the foil is reduced because the shorter, lighter boards experience less inertia (“swing weight”) while pumping, as compared to larger boards.
