The mid Length experience
Long version
Born from expertise developed in the world of downwind, the BlackBird Mid-Length pushes the boundaries of board design.
By reinterpreting the principles of downwind boards to meet the demands of wingfoiling, we have created a board capable of combining quick take-off in light winds, exceptional glide, and maneuverability.Inspired by the BlackBird, a true innovation in the downwind world, its optimized length-to-width ratio allows it to excel in light conditions or small swells, offering precise control and rapid take-off even with smaller foils.
Ultra-Premium Carbon Construction
Continuing the legacy of our iconic BlackBird, the BlackBird Mid-Length embodies the essence of AFS Advanced expertise.
Featuring premium carbon construction and an innovative shape, this board pushes the limits of performance and innovation. Its design includes a highly optimized hull, the result of years of research and refinement on BlackBird shapes.
Manufactured in our French factory using cutting-edge technologies, the BlackBird Mid-Length achieves an unprecedented level of optimization, ensuring easy take-offs, excellent stability, and ultra-efficient glide.
A Hybrid Experience Without Compromise
With the BlackBird Mid-Length, we aim to redefine the foiling experience by offering a compact yet ultra-efficient hybrid board.
A true crossover, it adapts to each of your sessions and disciplines with remarkable optimization. Every detail has been meticulously crafted to deliver maximum performance.
Enhanced pumping for immediate and efficient handling.
Refined deck plans for ergonomics and comfort that meet the expectations of the most demanding riders.
Inspired by the first generation of BlackBird (6'2 and 6'4), ahead of their time in their own right, true benchmarks in the Mid-Length board market.

This hybrid board opens up new possibilities with its exceptional performance in light winds and its ability to take off quickly and smoothly in mild conditions. Yet it's aerodynamic design and optimized volume distribution also make it a perfect supportive board in rougher weather.
Although designed for advanced performance, the BlackBird Mid-Length remains intuitive and accessible. Whether you are passionate about downwind, a fan of high-performance SUP foiling, or seeking thrills in wing foiling, parawing, or even surf foiling in certain conditions, this board is designed to adapt to all spots and conditions without compromise.
Three new sizes. One range, redefined.
Driven by the model's success, the BLACKBIRD MID-LENGTH range expands today with three new sizes — 5'2, 5'4 and 5'8 — to serve more rider profiles and riding programs.
Carbon construction
A carbon layup,
fully rethought.
It delivers 21% more lightness and 10% better impact resistance, thanks to an epoxy gel coat, a resin that lightens the construction without sacrificing stiffness. The board gains sharper transmission and responsiveness, while being less sensitive to everyday knocks.
The new line-up
Every rider finds the size that matches their level, build and conditions.
