I think you're gonna struggle with that setup. Unfortunately it sounds like you've invested pretty heavily in those foils which are pretty outdated. The spitfire has no glide which is what you're gonna want learning to gybe. If you want to stick with Axis try to get hold of an Art V2. Knowing what I know now, after struggling for years on a similar setup as yours I would take the loss, dump it & get a Code or F one setup. If I had bought a different setup I'd have shaved a season off my progression curve.
Spitfire is outdated but by no means obsolete. Excellent learning to expert, at low second hand price. Spitfires allow you to breach the tips without crash, are easy to use and turn great. Foils that dont allow tip breaching are obsolete as they discourage flying high.
Rear stab size is critical in foiling, the right size is the size up from the one thats too small. needs trial and error.
Surge is next level the 780 is amazing for winging.
The High modulus axis mast is very stiff, market leader. Axis is a great platform.
Hi Steven, please could you give me some more insides about thre surge 780. I am interested in getting some. 73 kg advanced + rider. Currently on thrfe fireballs 880, 1000, 1070, 1160 , 1350 and sf 900, 960, 1030. Both for wing and fd dw. i am a bit concerned the surges are not fast enough for winging. What are your thourghts. Many thanks.
