AFS Foils has just launched the Silk v2 and we couldn't be more stoked. We've lost none of the carve and fun that you loved on the original AFS Silk but with the AFS Silk V2 we have gained in speed, glide, pumpability and use range for each size but with more sizes.
Sharper, Stronger, Smoother: Introducing the All-New AFS Silk V2
The original AFS Silk became an instant icon in the foiling world, praised for its "magic" surf feel and incredible stability in the pocket. But at AFS, we believe even a masterpiece can be refined. Today, we are thrilled to announce the launch of the Silk V2—a front wing that keeps the soul of the original while pushing the boundaries of glide, speed, and efficiency.
Whether you are prone surfing, SUP foiling, or winging into the waves, the Silk V2 is designed to make your session feel more fluid and less effortful.
What’s New? Evolution of the DNA
The Silk V2 isn't a radical departure; it’s a surgical refinement. We took the "Bumpy" tubercle technology and iconic dihedral shape that made the V1 so stable and updated the geometry for the modern rider.
Higher Aspect Ratio (AR 9.0): Moving from the AR 8.0 of the original, the V2 steps up to an AR 9.0 across the entire range. This shift unlocks a whole new level of glide and pumping efficiency without sacrificing the rail-to-rail carving the Silk is known for.
Refined Profile: The updated foil section reduces drag, allowing for a higher top-end speed and better "forward drive." This means you can connect sections with fewer pumps and stay on the wave longer.
Enhanced Rigidity: Utilizing High Modulus (HM) Carbon construction, the V2 offers a more direct, "connected" feel underfoot. Every tiny movement you make is translated instantly into the foil.
Performance on the Water
Riders who have already tested the V2 describe it as "skating a bowl with loose trucks." It feels loose and playful, yet incredibly "surefooted" when you encounter turbulent water or white water.


Key Performance Benefits:
-
Intuitive Carving: The roll response is faster and more reactive, making tight snaps and long, drawn-out carves feel more natural.
-
Easier Pump Cadence: Thanks to the increased efficiency, the pump is less exhausting, making those long wave connections feel like a breeze.
-
Expanded Range: The V2 has a broader "sweet spot," performing better in both light-wind low-end scenarios and high-speed, powerful surf.
The Silk V2 Range: A Size for Every Style
We’ve expanded the lineup to ensure every rider can find their perfect match. All wings feature an AR 9.0 and are built with premium carbon:
| Size (cm²) | Span (mm) | Max Thickness (mm) | Best For |
| 650 | 765 | 13.6 | Tow-in, high-speed winging, and tiny riders. |
| 750 | 821 | 14.7 | The "daily driver" for expert prone surfers. |
| 850 | 875 | 15.7 | The ultimate balance of glide and carve. |
| 950 | 925 | 16.7 | Maximum versatility—the "Enduro killer." |
| 1050 | 972 | 17.7 | Heavier riders or small, gutless swells. |
| 1150 | 1017 | 18.7 | Maximum lift and dock start efficiency. |
Better Together: The Ecosystem
The Silk V2 is optimized to work seamlessly with the AFS UHM (Ultra High Modulus) Masts and the AFS UHM Skinny Masts and the new U-Surf Stabilizers. For the ultimate "loose" feel, we recommend pairing the V2 with the shorter fuselage options to truly unlock its carving potential.
Are you ready to find your flow?
The AFS Silk V2 is more than just a piece of gear; it’s an invitation to ride with more style and less effort. It’s sharper, stronger, and most importantly smoother than ever.
