hahaha, love that burn Casso. I'll bet you a few schooners of beer next time our paths cross that you have a few cricket trophies.

Ha ha. We can have a "trophy off".

I'd just like to know where in Oz I can get my hands on a 101.

And I like to know where to get on a S1010 and a carbon mast in Europe...

And why is Axis not coming out with a bigger High Aspect wing?

The S1010 is only a little bigger than the S1000: 1430 /1430cm2 vs 1388/1310 (actual/projected surface)

The 101 is a very different shape to the 1000. It has a lot of concave on the underside trailing edge for lift. Having used both I'm not sure you need a bigger HA wing than the 101, unless you're over 95kg. For me the 1000 is still my go to wing downwind.
The surface areas don't really reflect the difference in lift produced by the shape of the two wings.

I don't know how much you weigh but with my 85 kg I can't get the S1000 up on a downwind, I need a decent wave..
How much do you weigh?

I would prefer to get the S1010 to give it a try but if it takes too long I am thinking of an Unifoil 250...

I just hope I will get used to the lack off stiffness compared to Axis

Are you talking downwind with a paddle?

Good question, I can only say that I was talking about downwind with a paddle, not a wing...

Has anyone tried the 101 for prone surfing? I'm hoping it would be great on really small days. It does look similar to the uni/signature 210

Yes I did try on the prone and as Frenchfoiler said the 900 is a much better pick than the 1010 plus it's also faster . The 1010 was never designed to be the fastest wing on the market. It's specific purpose it to fill the gap between the 900 and 1020 , with easy low speed lift (easy to start ) much slower stall speed so you actually stay up on the foil longer at lower speeds & handles higher top end speed compared to the 1020. The Signature 210 is a faster wing but it's much harder to start . There is a trade off for everything .

Getting back to the original question on the thread " Where can I buy one "'My mate nick named Axis "Chasing Rainbows " because you can never find the end of it to buy a 900, 100 1010 , 460 flat stab & now the new Anhederal (down turned ) 395 stab which is really sick BTW plus the new Carbon mast .
