Can you use an s Series axis setup for kiting on what is the smallest possible wing you can get. Or do you have to use a k series

Yes, lots of us do.
660, I think, with the gull wings, and 680 for regular flat wings, are the smallest IIRC. The K-series has only two wings, the 545 and 600.
Thanks for your reply I have 3 complete different foil setups I've always used slingshot as I can use it for windfoiling suping and kiting recently I've just got an axis for winging on and it only has a 900 wing but it is an S series and I just wondering if they make a wing small enough to kite on so I can get rid of one of my foils

So long as it's not a Black fuselage or a Black fuselage wing you buy, they'll all fit perfectly.
I use the 900 to kite foil (also the 680 and 820 even) they are all fine.
I think the 660 would probably be the best kite foil wing for the S series but I haven't used one.
It really depends what you want to do, none of them are that fast compared to a lot of kite foil wings but I am more interested in light wind cruising around and speed isn't that important.
The 900 works quite well with the 460 tail
Haven't used the Axis for kiting as I think it would be a bit slow as all alotof them are low aspect. For my kite foil I have a slingshot warp speed 65 that will do 20 k ts even in the waves. There lies the problem. Move on a heavy fast foil for a lite slower one that needs more wings to go fast or just keep all of them. The issue is that they all ride differently and takes akes about 20mintues to get use to the new set up when ever I change be tween foils so I just want to pick the best all rounder out the 3
Get the black series with the HPS700 and 420 flat tail, it's just insane for kite. So fast, loose and glides
It's a completely different world to anything on the S series. Sold all my S series wings
K series hasn't been updated for years...
I'm also a bigger guy, 97 kg, and would be starting to kitefoil in light wind (7-11 knots) conditions on a lake. Would you recommend the black series for someone new to kitefoiling? Or would the new BSC wings such as the 970mm or 890mm be a better foil to learn? FYI, I just purchased the 15m Gio Spirit to kitefoil.
Thanks.

Adrian said in a FB post that the K-series is at the end of its life... So it's done, I reckon.

I have not tried the BSC wings, but it makes sense to use a BSC as it's the new line of easy to use wings.
Just beware that the 970 is red fuse and 890 black fuse, hard to say which is best, if you can get going with the 890 on black, then great. Demo if you can.
