I have been wing dinging on the AXIS 102/82 foil wings for the better part of five months now and was handed the AXIS 101 for a bit of a play. The AXIS 101 is basically as wide as 102, but the overall profile is much thinner and the depth (chord) of the wing is about 2/3's. The 101 wing is quite flat compared to the 102.

The AXIS 102 is ~2000cm2, the AXIS 101 is ~ 1500cm2.

I basically removed the AXIS 82 wing and bolted on the AXIS 101.

The first thing I realised is you need screws that are about 5mm shorter because the wing has a much thinner profile.

The next thing I learnt was I cannot pump the board as hard on the 101 as the 102. If I pushed too hard, I essentially collapsed the board back onto the water at such low speeds. I had to gently the ease wing up. Once I had a little bit of speed, pumping was no issue at all. The AXIS 102 is a better "low wind" starter than the 101.

I was winging in gusty 12 to 18 knots and you can feel the faster acceleration in the 101 wing compared to the 102. The wing just took off with the gusts. Quite fun.

I have the same comments for kiting or Winging with this foil wing.

Carves like a dream.
Got over 30km/h easy.
Still on the foil at 14km/h.

The 102 is boring compared to the 101.
