For sure they are still in business, i deal with them since three years as a dealer and we did a lot of demos while we where in Hatteres this last may of this great WTF LW surf board and it is just insane how good it is in LW (early planning, great upwind, super easy to ride) but once the wind pickup if you use a small kite you can still have a lot of fun. Don't try it if you don't need a new LW board The new boards construction are quite different then what you see on Axon's wewbsite, they are now made in Hawaii instead of China. I have the construction details if you want them, just send me an email and i will send them to you: info@kitexpress.caStrekke wrote: Thanks for the feedback - took a look around online but can't seem to find any for sale, and the Axon website and fb seem to be untouched for a while now - are they out of business?
I will receive 15 of theses WTF surfboard this week.
I had a lot of LW boards except foil board because our spot is full of rocks and this is a bit crazy to ride there with a foil. So i had many LW TT but now i am always on LW surf board since three years as it is much better in ultra LW. I had a Nugget, Fone Fish 5'10", RRD KFree 60, tried a Sector 54, had two race boards, etc.. but this Axon WTF is the board i like the most. After a race for LW this would be my pick because it offer so much more then pure LW and i prefer to ride strapless (compare to a race).
Now as for Axon being so terrible with their marketing i told them many times but they are very slow. We have the technical infos about theses new LW surfs (Bulldog and WTF) on our Facebook page since many months but the constructor did not upgrade anything yet
