AXIS Research Team Pro (ARTPro) Front Wing

Description

The AXIS Research Team Pro (ARTPro) Front Wing is for riders who want maximum glide, real top-end speed and a cleaner, lower-drag feel than a more all-round foil. It sits at the sharper end of the AXIS front wing range and makes the most sense for experienced wingfoilers, downwind foilers, prone foilers and pump riders who already know they enjoy a fast, efficient, high-aspect style of ride.

In the AXIS line-up, the ARTPro sits above the more forgiving AXIS ART V2 Front Wings and on the glide-and-efficiency side of the more surf-oriented AXIS Spitfire Front Wings. If you want something a little looser, easier-going and more forgiving for everyday riding, ART V2 is often the safer call. If you want to carry more speed through lulls, link bumps more easily and get that classic long-glide AXIS feeling with even less drag, the ARTPro is where things get properly interesting.

Why choose the AXIS ARTPro Front Wing?

More glide between pumps and turns for riders who want to carry speed rather than constantly work for it
Fast, efficient and slippery through the water thanks to its reduced chord, high-aspect design
Better carry through lulls and softer sections when winging, downwinding or linking waves
Excellent control for a high-performance foil, with a straighter median line helping the wing feel more precise in turns
A true range of dedicated sizes, not just scaled copies, so each wing has its own role and feel
Works brilliantly for advanced crossover riders using one foil platform across wing, prone, downwind and pump disciplines

Where the ARTPro sits in the AXIS range

If you are comparing AXIS front wings and wondering where this fits, here is the simple version.

Choose the ARTPro over the ART V2 if your priority is more glide, more speed, more efficiency and a slightly more specialist performance feel.

Choose the ART V2 over the ARTPro if you still want high-aspect efficiency but would prefer a foil that feels a touch more forgiving, a bit looser in everyday riding and easier to live with across mixed conditions.

Choose the Spitfire over the ARTPro if you want a more surfy, more carving-led ride with a stronger emphasis on looseness and turning feel.

As a rule of thumb, the larger ARTPro sizes suit riders chasing earlier lift, bigger glide and light-wind efficiency, while the smaller sizes suit riders prioritising more speed, a tighter specialist feel and higher-performance applications.

Helpful reading & buying advice

Who is the AXIS ARTPro really for?

The ARTPro is best for competent to advanced foilers who want more efficiency, more speed and more glide than a more all-round front wing usually delivers. If you are still fairly new to foiling or you want something easier and more forgiving in mixed conditions, the AXIS ART V2 often makes more sense.

What is the difference between the ARTPro and the ART V2?

The ARTPro is the more specialist performance option. It is faster, more glide-focused and feels lower drag overall. The ART V2 still gives you that modern high-aspect efficiency, but in a package that is generally easier-going and a little more forgiving day to day.

Do I need a Skinny rear wing with the ARTPro?

You do not absolutely have to, but it is the pairing that makes the most sense. The Skinny rear wings were developed to work with newer low-chord AXIS front wings like the ARTPro, helping reduce drag and keep the foil feeling balanced and efficient at speed.

Is the ARTPro compatible with AXIS Red fuselages?

No. The ARTPro uses the AXIS Black Series platform, so you will need a compatible Black fuselage rather than a Red Series fuselage.

How do I choose the right ARTPro size?

Larger sizes are the call if you want earlier lift, more low-end support and maximum glide. Smaller sizes suit riders who are happy giving up some early lift in exchange for more speed and a more specialist, higher-performance feel.

Features

Extended elliptical outline: This is a big part of why the ARTPro feels so efficient. It helps the wing hold speed and glide further with less drag than chunkier front wing shapes.
Straighter median line: In real terms, this gives the ARTPro a more controlled and predictable feel when you lean into turns. It is still a high-aspect foil, but it does not feel vague or awkward when you want to change direction.
Narrower chord: A narrower front-to-back profile reduces drag and helps the foil feel faster and more alive. That is great for experienced riders, but it also means the ARTPro is less “auto-pilot” than a more forgiving all-round front wing.
Lower drag foil sections on the smaller sizes: As you move down the size range, the ARTPro becomes even more speed-focused. The smaller wings are for riders who want a more specialist, high-performance feel rather than easy lift at very low speeds.
Designed to work with newer AXIS tail concepts: The ARTPro really comes alive when paired with the AXIS Skinny Rear Wings, which help reduce drag further and keep the whole foil feeling more balanced and efficient at speed.
