Welcome to the fascinating world of Blackbird, the perfect fusion of passion and bold innovation from AFS Advanced.
BLACKBIRD V3
The ultra high downwind performance
Engineered for the most demanding riders, the Blackbird V3 is the evolution of the iconic Blackbird V2, designed to deliver an unparalleled riding experience. Every element, from the hull to the outline, has been meticulously refined to maximize performance.
Innovative Design
Its visionary design pushes the boundaries of aerodynamics once more.
The hull has been reworked with a deep double concave, offering exceptional forgiveness on touchdowns while increasing stability. This adjustment allows for riding narrower boards, and the slightly sharper rails generated by the double concave enhance the board's tracking ability when paddling. The outline has also been refined to meet the demands of the most discerning riders. With its ultra-narrow width, it's ideal for speed enthusiasts, offering quick take-offs in downwind conditions.
Ultimate Adaptability
We've expanded the range with new sizes to cater to the needs of intermediate and expert downwind riders.
These new sizes have also led to an evolution of the shape to adapt to the most performant foils on the market, particularly for downwind and light wind wingfoiling.
The Blackbird V3's long box also allows for a perfect fit with all types of foils on the market.
Here are the 10 available sizes to suit all riding styles (length, width, volume):
