Description

The AFS Silk V2 takes the legendary, smooth-carving DNA of the original Silk series and precision-tunes it for even more performance. Designed by Laurent Borgna and the AFS Advanced D-Lab, the V2 steps up to a higher aspect ratio (AR 9) to drastically reduce drag, resulting in easier pumping, better low-speed lift, and relentless glide.

It keeps the iconic, reassuring rail-to-rail control that riders fell in love with but sharpens the design at a millimetric level. With redesigned tips that resist ventilating when breaching, and a more progressive central dihedral curve, the Silk V2 locks cleanly into its lines during hard carves—giving you total confidence to push your turns even in turbulent current or sea foam.

Key Evolutions (V1 vs V2)

• Sharper Carving: An updated central dihedral curve securely locks your line through turns, providing ultimate carving stability and control.

• Smoother Transitions: Redesigned wing tips stabilize surface behavior, drastically reducing ventilation (stalling) if a tip breaks the water surface.

• More Glide & Drive: The jump to an aspect ratio of 9 increases pumping efficiency and helps you hold your speed straight through lulls.

• Wider Size Selection: The range now spans from a lightning-fast 650 $cm^2$ up to an ultra-stable 1150 $cm^2$, offering a perfect fit for every weight class and discipline.
