Born from downwind
The mid-length experience
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 manoeuvrability.
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.
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.
Made in France
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.
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.
