• Features may include:

All-New Axis Tower Design- The all-new Axis tower features a cleaner look, added headroom, and a foldable design that’s easier to use and stow. New for 2026, you can now color-match your tower to your gel coat for a more unified, custom look. Add your board racks, WetSounds speakers, and a bimini—this tower was built to carry your style and your gear.

Wake Plus™ Hull- Designed specifically for boarding applications, this hull design allows the boat to sit deeper in the water at slower speeds, helping create more water displacement for a bigger wake at all boarding speeds.

Pickle-Fork Bow- The A225 sports a spacious pickle-fork bow so that you can truly maximize the space for your crew of up to 15 to relax and enjoy.

The Axis Dash- With a minimalist, clean layout that screams no-frills performance, the 7-inch touchscreen takes center stage on the dash. With the upgraded Sport Dash™, everything you need to keep an eye on your boat's vitals or set up for wakesurfing and wakeboarding is at your fingertips.

Soft Grip Floor- Throughout the bow and lounge area, the soft grip floor provides solid footing for long days on the water. And the floor drains make for easy cleanup at the end of the day.

Premium Sport Dash™- With a minimalist, clean layout that screams no-frills performance, the Premium Sport Dash™ Package is the top-tier dash option that pairs the 7-inch touch screen and sport dash keypad with an upgraded wireless charging phone holder for the captain.

Sport Dash- No set is complete without a playlist and with Axis you have your choice of crystal-clear Wet Sounds audio packages. Sync to Bluetooth while you’re in the boat, or for ultimate control, dial in your audio levels while you’re riding with Surf Band.
