Slingshot vs Axis Part 1 | Hydrofoil Dockstart (Which Setup Is Better?)

In today's video, we test out the Axis and Slingshot hydrofoil dockstart setups. Turns out, I'm trash with the slingshot setup in position B.

Slingshot setup pos B is for windfoil. You have to put your feets a little bit more forward, but this will increase "springyness" of whole system. So pumping you got used to can be inefficient.
Change to A may help. However it is low aspect wing, may be is not good for PnG.

You are correct, in part 2 of this video I was able to get it. It was tough though!

Thanks for the video..where are you? no wetsuit needed at this time of year!!. I just got an Axis PnG 1150 after switching from Naish HA 1800. Had 70 attempts w/Naish got some glides. First session 10 attempts yesterday w/ 1150..no glide… hopped on, stalled & nose dived. My stance may be too wide..You make it looks so easy😊 just hop on 1150 & go….

No prob! I am in alabama, but its in the 30s/40s now so wetsuit is in full swing. I started with a super wide stance and it was pretty difficult, but now its much more narrow which is more efficient and easier to keep the cadence. It took over a thousand tries on the quantum 100 to learn how to actually pump though! Just don't give up, its super rewarding.

It looks like that Slingshot front foil is 5 to 6 inches forward distance from the mast to the actual front wing, were as the axis is not that much distance, maybe 2 inches.

The current front wing position probably is for Wind-Foiling with lots of weight in front of the mast foot, and not for pumping :)?
