Pocket Trench 50 and 60: the AXIS Foil Drive board for every rider

These highly anticipated 50L and 60L boards bring the magic of the AXIS Pocket Trench (patented) to foil assist riders of all sizes and ability levels.

Rather than simply carving out the base of the board with a bulky trench that disturbs water flow, AXIS developed the recessed pocket that allows your Foil Drive to neatly slide inside, resulting in greatly reduced drag on take-offs and effortlessly smooth touchdowns when on motor.

Tracks and sliders made for foiling

This streamlined approach also led to the development of the bespoke AXIS tracks and sliders: not only the fastest and easiest battery swaps available on a trench board, but custom-designed tracks engineered for the exacting demands of modern foiling, not cast-offs from the surfboard world better suited to holding a fin in a longboard.

Simply drop, slide and lock into your preferred setup. Thanks to the fibreglass reinforcements in the track zone and front deck, the Pocket Trench ensures uninterrupted signal strength from your controller, eliminating the signal connection frustrations common to other full-carbon boards.

Which size

• 50L, 160 x 49.2 cm (5'2" x 19.3"): ideal for lightweight beginners under 70 kg, intermediate foilers under 90 kg and advanced heavier riders over 90 kg. Pocket Trench 50L
• 60L, 170 x 51.2 cm (5'6" x 20.2"): for beginners under 90 kg and intermediate heavier riders over 90 kg. Pocket Trench 60L

Compatibility

All sizes of Pocket Trench are compatible with all models of Foil Drive (Slim, Max and Fusion). They are not compatible with the softer bottom protection plates that were supplied on Max models with serial numbers between AM-0001 and AM-2300; if you have one of these units, contact Foil Drive to ask for the newer, stronger board protection plate.

Only the AXIS-supplied sliders should be used in the Pocket Trench range. Purpose-made bolt kits are available for the Fusion (M7) and the standard Foil Drive (M8).

Both sizes are on pre-order now at axisfoils.com.
