Axis PNG V2 Front Wing

The Reference Pump Foil Wing with Legendary Glide

The AXIS PNG V2 is a high aspect carbon front wing designed for pump foil and dock start riders who demand maximum glide, effortless pumping, and early lift. PNG stands for "Pump and Glide" – and that says it all. This is the wing that created the pump foil category and set the standard that competitors are still chasing.

The original PNG 1150 became globally recognized as the best pump foil front wing on the market. The V2 generation builds on this legacy with a new high camber / low drag profile from the FIREBALL line, delivering even longer glide between pumps, better turning, and higher top-end speed – without compromising early lift.

The difference is noticeable from the first strokes: the PNG V2 glides longer, pumps easier, and forgives mistakes better than any high aspect wing in its category. Long flatwater sessions, endless bump connections on downwind runs, explosive dock starts – the PNG V2 is the wing for those who want more time on foil, regardless of conditions.

Who Is the AXIS PNG V2 Front Wing For?

The AXIS PNG V2 front wing is designed for riders who want more time on foil and maximum pumping efficiency.

We recommend it for:

• pump foil riders seeking endless glide and efficient pumping
• dock start enthusiasts for explosive takeoffs and long rides
• downwind riders for easier lift-off and bump connections
• wing foil riders for ultra-light wind conditions
• SUP foil riders for small waves and flatwater gliding
• wake foil riders for effortless lift behind a boat
• anyone who wants one front wing for multiple disciplines in minimal conditions

Comparison: PNG V2 1200 vs 1300 vs 1400

PNG V2 1200 (AR ~8) is the most compact model with the largest surface area relative to wingspan – ideal for dock starts, beach starts, and situations where a smaller wingspan is an advantage. It offers explosive lift and forgiving stability for heavier riders or those who want maximum grunt. PNG V2 1300 (AR ~10) is the all-rounder with the optimal combination of glide, turning, and speed – the classic choice for pump foil and downwind. PNG V2 1400 (AR ~11) is the largest and most efficient model for absolute maximum glide – the king of glide for the weakest conditions and longest pump foil sessions.

AXIS PNG V2 Front Wing Benefits

Designed for Pump Foil – Superior Glide
The PNG V2 was engineered from the start for pumping. High aspect ratio, optimized profile, and low drag deliver longer glide between pumps than any competing wing.

Exceptionally Low Stall Speed
The high camber profile enables takeoff at lower speeds, meaning easier dock starts and more sessions in light conditions.

Improved Turning and Pitch Control
Compared to PNG V1, the V2 features more balanced lift distribution and predictable response, making it easier to navigate between bumps and sustain long pumping sessions.

Higher Top-End Speed
The refined low-drag profile delivers higher speeds without sacrificing early lift – a significant upgrade for advanced pump foil riders.

Ultra High Modulus Carbon Construction
Reinforced construction provides the stiffness and response required for demanding conditions and larger wingspans. The PNG V2 1400 is more than twice as stiff as smaller models.

Compatible with AXIS Black Fuselage Series
PNG V2 wings connect to Black fuselages (we recommend Black Advance+) with 2x M6 and 2x M8 screws.

Technology

The AXIS PNG V2 is built on the proven FIREBALL foil profile with a straight median line, providing stable, predictable feel across all speed ranges. The new generation features an optimized High Camber (High-lift) / Low-drag profile that enables early takeoff without sacrificing top-end speed.

Ultra High Modulus carbon (UHM) construction delivers superior stiffness at larger wingspans – crucial for efficient energy transfer during pumping. Longer wingspan means longer glide, but only if the wing is stiff enough to avoid losing energy to flex.

Graphics on each wing display key measurements including aspect ratio for quick identification and easy gear swaps. All PNG V2 wings connect to the AXIS Black fuselage series (2x M8 + 2x M6 screws), with AXIS recommending Black Advance+ fuselage for optimal performance.

Why Choose AXIS?

AXIS is a New Zealand brand that co-created the pump and glide wing category. The original PNG 1150 became globally recognized as the best pump foil front wing on the market – the wing that defined what's possible on flatwater.

The PNG V2 represents the next evolution: improved profile, better turning, higher speed, and the same legendary glide. Competitors have been chasing the PNG for years – with the V2 series, the gap is even bigger. AXIS doesn't follow trends – it sets them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the AXIS PNG V2 front wing suitable for pump foil beginners?

Yes. The PNG V2 is an excellent choice for beginners as the low stall speed, stable pitch control, and forgiving character make learning easier. Larger sizes (1300, 1400) are even better for starting out.

AXIS PNG V2 vs PNG V1 – what's the difference?

The PNG V2 features a redesigned high camber / low drag profile that delivers lower stall speed, better turning, faster acceleration, and higher top-end speed. Glide is longer, control is better, but early lift remains the same.

Which AXIS PNG V2 front wing should I choose for pump foil?

For beginners and lighter riders, we recommend the 1400 – maximum glide and stability. For average riders and all-around use, the 1300 is the classic choice. For heavier riders or dock starts, the 1200 is ideal.

Is the AXIS PNG V2 suitable for wing foiling?

Yes. The PNG V2 excels in ultra-light wind when you need maximum early lift and glide. It's not designed for speed, but for staying on foil as long as possible in minimal conditions.

Which stabilizer is recommended for an AXIS PNG V2 pump foil setup?

For pump foil, the most popular choice is the 460 V2 Flat Pump stabilizer – wide span for lift and control, yet fast enough to minimize drag.

Which fuselage is recommended for the AXIS PNG V2 front wing?

AXIS recommends the Black Advance+ fuselage for optimal performance. PNG V2 wings connect with 2x M8 and 2x M6 screws.

Is the AXIS PNG V2 suitable for downwind?

Yes. The PNG V2 is excellent for downwind, especially for beginners and riders in lighter conditions. Early lift and long glide make it easier to connect bumps.

AXIS PNG V2 vs ART PRO – what's the difference?

The ART PRO has a higher aspect ratio and is more focused on speed and efficiency for advanced downwind riders. The PNG V2 is more forgiving, with lower stall speed and better glide at slower speeds – ideal for pump foil and easier entry into downwind.

Is the AXIS PNG V2 front wing compatible with my AXIS setup?

Yes, if you have a Black fuselage series. The PNG V2 connects with 2x M8 + 2x M6 screws. It is not compatible with the Red fuselage series.

How long does delivery of the AXIS PNG V2 front wing take?

Delivery within Europe typically takes 3–7 business days, depending on stock availability.
