Narrow Yet Stable for Maximum Displacement Speed
- The combination of rocker and rail design improves stability, allowing for a narrower width that increases speed without compromising balance.
- The bottom shape is optimized to accelerate through the water for takeoffs while maintaining forgiveness during touchdowns at high speeds.
Enhanced Speed = Improved Stability
- The board’s ability to generate higher speeds through the water engages the foil more effectively, making balance easier.
- Extra tail rocker prevents the board from catching on the water surface, ensuring smooth glides without aggressive tracking.
Flat Deck for Comfort & Control
- A flat deck profile offers comfort and a direct connection with the board during long downwind runs.
- The wide stance area allows for foot adjustments, accommodating different rider preferences.
Optimized Volume for a Balanced Feel
-
Volume concentration in the center provides exceptional balance both when paddling and on foil.
- Reduced nose and tail volume minimizes swing weight, making the board feel shorter and more responsive than its actual length.
Premium Full Carbon Construction
- Built with full carbon and high-density foam sandwich construction, the MaKo offers maximum stiffness for optimal energy transfer.
- Every bit of rider input translates directly to the foil, enhancing performance and efficiency.
Custom Board Bag Included
- Every AXIS MaKo board ships with a custom-fitted board bag for superior protection and utility.
- Features include a dual zipper system for easy access, built-in ventilation, and storage pockets.
