AFS Silk 950

The Icon

Some designs don't just perform.
They become a standard.

Developed in 2023 by the AFS teams and Laurent Borgna, the SILK range was designed to deliver exceptionally smooth carving, combined with remarkable stability and control, even in turbulent conditions.Its bumps, winglets, and adaptive design specific to each size were all developed to optimize glide, precision, and overall performance.This foil was never designed to chase extremes. It's built on something rarer: the pursuit of balance.

« IT WASN'T JUST A DESIGN.
IT WAS A FEELING RIDERS COULD FULLY TRUST.

Same DNA.
Just further..

Releasing a version 2 was a delicate, almost risky task.

We had to decide how far to push performance levels without ever distorting what defines AFS Silk v1 vs Silk v2's DNA. Because AFS Silk v1 vs Silk v2 has always been about control and predictability: it's a foil that supports you just enough, stays predictable, and invites commitment with confidence.

With the , every change was designed to deliver more glide, more drive, more flow, more carving, while preserving this unique feeling that has made the such a popular foil among riders.

This is exactly the kind of challenge where the full expertise of our AFS Advanced D-Lab makes sense. How do you evolve a foil that already had almost every performance slider near the top? The answer comes down to one word: precision.

SHARPER.
STRONGER.
SMOOTHER.

Every evolution was designed to deliver more glide, more drive, more flow, more carving — while preserving the unique feeling that made Silk logo iconic. It all came down to millimetric tuning.

01

SHARPER

We improved the wing's ability to guide you through carves. Thanks to work on dihedral and lifting surface, the wing locks in your line through turns: more stability, more control, more confidence.

02

STRONGER

We strengthened the range by offering a wider choice of sizes - now one of its biggest strengths. From 650 to 1150 cm², a size exists for every rider, every discipline, every session.

03

SMOOTHER

The reactions of the tips near the surface have been stabilized. Reduced ventilation effect, more natural rail-to-rail transitions, immediate carve initiation, constant sensation of fluidity.

All these evolutions were designed with one clear goal in mind: to help intermediate riders progress with more confidence and fluidity, while offering expert riders a new playground to push their limits — without ever losing the fun, tolerance, and distinctive feeling that define the Silk logo iconic. It all came down to millimetric tuning.

The silk logo V2 and U-Surf logo have evolved shim angles compared to the rest of the range. Reduced stabilizer angle + increased SILK angle = naturally reduced rake for better control in committed carves.
