We are very happy to announce that we will be distributing AXIS Kiteboarding in the UK. The brand have been making a name for themselves over the last few seasons and their boards are popping up everywhere. The design team is headed by shaper Adrian Roper who has been making kiteboards for a very long time and windsurfers and surfboards before that – originally under the brand name Underground. Adrian is known for his focus on attention to detail and ability to make his products easy to use.
Some of the classic Underground boards have reappeared in updated forms such as the AXIS Limited and New Wave. Adrian lives and works in New Zealand, an hour or so south of where the Ozone design team are based. There is a lot of cross marketing between the brands, though no formal connection. AXIS make boards and Ozone make kites – so it makes sense for us to work with both of them.
AXIS offer a complete range of twintips, strapped surfboards, strapless surfboards and foilboards. Specialising in boards only allows them to cater to more specialised areas of the sport – with this in mind there is a wakestyle range, lightwind specific models, the tandem board, and a grom board.
The new 2016 AXIS range will be presented to dealers over the coming weeks, and shown to the public at the Kitesurf Armada.
If you are interested in finding out more about the range then please get in touch with us.
