Fuselages

The fuselage is the central spine of the foil. It connects the mast to the front wing and rear stabiliser, setting the distance between those wings and helping determine how stable, responsive or efficient the foil feels.

A fuselage is not just a spare part. It affects pitch control, pump timing, turning radius, take-off feel and how connected the foil feels under your feet. Changing fuselage length or system can make a familiar front wing feel noticeably different.

For the full system, compare with our front wings, rear stabilisers, foil masts, foil screw sets and complete foil setups.

Start with compatibility. Foil fuselages are brand and system specific. The mast connection, front wing fit, rear stabiliser fit, screw pattern and generation all need to match. A fuselage that looks similar may still not fit your foil.

Then think about the feel you want. Shorter fuselages can make the foil more lively, tighter turning and more responsive. Longer fuselages can improve pitch stability and give a more planted feel. For many riders, the best choice is not the shortest or longest option, but the one that suits their discipline and skill level.

If you are unsure, send us your current mast, front wing, rear stabiliser and riding style through our contact page before ordering.

Shorter fuselages generally make the foil feel more manoeuvrable and more sensitive to rider input. That can be brilliant for surf, wing tricks, tighter turns and more playful riding, but it can feel less forgiving if your pitch control is still developing.

Longer fuselages tend to feel calmer and more stable in pitch. They can help riders learning gybes, foot switches and faster lines, but may feel less loose through tight turns.

Different brands use different naming systems, so do not compare names alone. Check the actual product, compatible front wings, tail wing options and intended use before choosing.

Fuselages are not interchangeable across most foil brands. Even within the same brand, different mast generations, wing ranges or connection systems may need different fuselages.

• AXIS riders should check the correct Black, Red, Advance+, B-Series, FATTY or Ti LINK system before ordering.
• Code Foils riders should choose the fuselage that matches their front wing, tail wing and riding goal.
• Duotone Wing Foiling riders should check Aero, 3BS, D/LAB, tail and system generation compatibility.
• Fanatic riders should confirm the correct 3BS connection and model generation before replacing parts.

If you are not fully sure which fuselage fits, please ask. It is much quicker to check compatibility than to correct an incorrect foil part order later.

Availability, size options and compatibility can change, so always check the individual product page before ordering. These are useful starting points within the fuselage collection:

• AXIS Advance+ B-Series Fuselages — a key AXIS route for riders on compatible B-Series and Advance+ setups.
• AXIS Ti LINK Fuselage - Titanium — a premium AXIS fuselage option for compatible Ti LINK setups.
• AXIS Black Series Fuselage — a useful AXIS Black Series starting point for compatible front wing and tail wing combinations.
• AXIS Advance Red-Series Fuselages — an AXIS Red-Series route to compare if your setup sits within that system.
• Code Foils Fuselage Range — the fuselage route for building a compatible Code Foils setup.
• Duotone Fuselage Aero Tail D/LAB — a Duotone D/LAB tail fuselage option for riders on the correct Duotone system.
• Duotone Fuselage Aero 3BS AL — a Duotone aluminium fuselage option for compatible Aero 3BS setups.

For the wider system, browse foils, foil completes, front wings, rear stabilisers, foil masts and screw sets.

A fuselage only works properly when it is matched to the right foil parts. Before ordering, check the mast connection, front wing family, rear stabiliser fit, screw requirements and any brand-specific compatibility rules.

Useful related collections include front wings, rear stabilisers, masts, foil screw sets, foil board bags, wing foil boards and wingsurfers.

Fuselage choice can be very personal. Two riders on the same front wing may prefer different fuselage lengths depending on weight, stance, ability, local conditions and whether they want more stability or a looser feel.

Our Lymington Try It Now service is designed for serious wing and foil buyers who want product matching, setup advice and demo support where suitable. It is especially useful if you are comparing higher-value foil systems or trying to refine your setup.
