Pocket Trench 40L: the foil-assist quiver killer

Without doubt the best-looking and best-performing trench board on the market, the AXIS Pocket Trench 40L continues to turn heads both on and off the water.

Adrian knocked the ball out of the park on this one, ticking off the entire wish list for foil-assist riders and making it the ultimate quiver killer: one board for every foil-assist discipline, for team riders of massively differing weights and builds who all like to spend a battery or two on the water.

With the trench reducing the effect of the battery's swing weight, and the revolutionary pocket covering the front of the Foil Drive, the increase in efficiency during both starting and touchdowns is impressive, allowing the use of smaller front wings and wasting less battery on starting. Our dedicated sliders fit M6, M7 or M8 mounting hardware and deliver the easiest and fastest possible experience for both foil mounting and battery swaps.
