If you feel the need for speed, you'll want to upgrade to our HPS front wings as soon as you're foiling confidently. Fast yet still easy to ride, these foils are addictive. They will take a solid pumping technique to get foiling (or a couple of extra kts of wind) but once up, you will stay foiling through lulls. tacks and gybes. Such is their exceptional glide. Match the speed of these front foils with a low drag rear wing from either the Progressive or Speed range. Note that the reduced chord and the lower camber of the HPS foils require a switch to the Black Fuselage. You could stay with the short length, or more advanced riders looking for a looser turning (but less pitch stable) feel can go to the Ultrashort fuselage.
The Axis HPS has quickly become our most popular foil for winging for all levels of riders once they have the basics down.

HPS Foil Guide
This is a rough guide for an 80kg rider. Lighter riders, plus more advanced riders will select the smaller front foil sizes. Larger swell conditions will also dictate smaller front foils to control the extra lift generated by the swell energy when downwind surfing.
| Hand Wing Size (m) | Front Foil | Rear Foil | Fuselage |
| 6.0m | HPS 980, 1050 | Progressive, Speed | Short |
| 4.8-5.5 | HPS 930, 980 | Progressive, Speed | Short or Ultrashort |
| 3.0 - 4.8m | HPS 830, 880, 930 | Progressive, Speed | Short or Ultrashort |
