The AFS Advanced legacy

Stability, responsiveness and efficiency

The Blackbird has long been one of the major innovations from our AFS Advanced lab: a board loved for its glide, its balance and its unmistakable feel on the water.

This year, we wanted to share that same magic with more riders. So we took its iconic mid-length shape and reproduced it with our proven PVC Sandwich Glass construction, creating a more accessible and more versatile version: the Blackbird Mid Length by AFS.

With its mid-length outline, PVC Sandwich Glass construction and versatile design, it delivers glide, stability and control on the water.

Updated design, two colourways, five sizes: the Blackbird experience, simply more accessible.
