ENDURO 1600 GLT
The best of dockstarting, elevated by AFS versatility.
- Developed with Gwen Le Tutour, expert rider and renowned coach, the Enduro 1600 GLT was born from a precise design brief, crafted to support riders of all levels.
- Thanks to Gwen’s field experience and the design expertise of Laurent Borgna, this foil delivers intuitive lift, long-lasting glide, and reassuring maneuverability. It’s the result of dozens of prototypes and countless hours on the water — a true benchmark in dockstart foiling.
A foil designed to help you progress — from your very first dockstart.
But its potential goes far beyond that: designed to grow with you, it also excels in flat starts and supports your first steps in paddle downwind.
« THE IDEA BEHIND THIS 1600 GLT WAS TO CREATE AN ACCESSIBLE AND FUN FOIL FOR DOCKSTART / PUMPING / FLAT WATER PADDLE UP. WHETHER FOR BEGINNERS IN DOCKSTARTING, OR FOR PROGRESSING TO ROCKSTARTS AND BEACHSTARTS, THIS ENDURO 1600 GLT IS THE ALL-TERRAIN, ALL-LEVEL WING FOR PUMPING! »
A foil made to take off… and never stop
With an aspect ratio of 11, this foil offers the perfect balance of glide, maneuverability, and fun. Its design delivers:
Super-efficient takeoffs, even with minimal speed.
Long-distance flight, thanks to an almost limitless glide.
Outstanding maneuverability, especially in yaw and roll, for full control and a lively feel in every turn.
Laurent Borgna design. The bumps are key in dockstart. They help prevent stall, optimize control, and improve glide — all without compromising the foil’s profile.
Why did we develop the Enduro 1600 GLT
with Gwen Le Tutour?
- It all started with a simple idea: to create a foil that gets everyone flying. Not just pros. Not just in perfect conditions. But a foil that’s fun, accessible, high-performing… and above all, built to grow with you.
- To make that happen, we needed someone who truly understands riders — their struggles, their goals. Gwen Le Tutour, a talented rider and passionate coach, was the perfect choice. He brought a clear vision: to design a foil that delivers joy from the first dockstart and keeps you progressing session after session.
- Together, we created an ultra-precise design brief, grounded in real-life experience. Then Laurent Borgna, our designer, brought it to life as the AFS Enduro 1600 GLT.
The result?
A foil that takes off quickly, glides forever, stays in control during turns, and offers serious room for progression.
That’s our vision of foiling: real sensations, made accessible.

« WE WANTED TO REMAIN FAITHFUL TO THE SPIRIT OF THE ENDURO RANGE: AN ACCESSIBLE, INTUITIVE, AND ULTRA-VERSATILE FOIL. DESIGNED TO DELIVER MAXIMUM GLIDE IN LIGHT CONDITIONS, IT SPEAKS TO DOCKSTART ENTHUSIASTS AS MUCH AS TO THOSE LOOKING TO START DOWNWIND. THE ENTIRE DESIGN WAS ORIENTED TOWARDS CONTROL AND FLUIDITY, WITH TAPERED, SWEPT-BACK TIPS TO FREE UP THE MAST, CENTERED BUMPS TO MAINTAIN MANEUVERABILITY, AND A DOUBLE-CURVATURE DIHEDRAL THAT FACILITATES TURNS. THE GOAL: A NATURAL AND LIBERATED FEEL, EVEN ON A LARGE WING. »
