AFS, pioneer in the discipline of downwind. Under the AFS Advanced brand, the Blackbird Downwind board has led and captivated. Inspired by, and with strong Blackbird DNA, we are proud to introduce the Whitebird.
 

Accessible, lightweight, and high-performing, the Whitebird, your ally for SUP Foil Surf, Downwind and light wind Wingfoiling sessions. Available in two sizes with a perfect volume distribution to ensure the widest range of riders smooth glide, manoeuvrability, easy wave catching and early flight. Explore new practices, sensations and horizons.


Versatility and Grip

The US rail and its adjustable mounting allow you to slide your foil forward and backward on your board to fine-tune sensations and performance according to your size, skills, and personal preferences. The super-soft EVA pad with a textured grip provides exceptional adherence while ensuring optimal comfort for your feet. You also have the option to add straps.

Redefined Compactness for Downwind Freeride

Its compact and accessible shape makes it an encouraging downwind freeride board that provides excellent stability. Its width allows for an optimised, offset riding stance, giving great carving and turning manoeuvrability. The smoothness of the rails and the hull provides a comfortable tolerance for any touch downs giving a gentle rebound.

New Sensations in Sup Foil & Sup Foil Downwind

The tail extenders provide stability in the build up to a wave or bump. The highly efficient tail shape is complemented with a reduction of the wetted surface through the aggressive pin tail - providing even more glide and release. The Whitebird has a compact shape with moderate width and stretched lines which facilitate speed acquisition for takeoff. The volume bulb in the nose helps limit the risk of nosediving when gaining speed and provides strong support under the front foot to facilitate takeoff. By combining these characteristics, the Whitebird offers exceptional overall stability and efficiency for SUP foil riders.

Absolute Control and Efficient Take-Off

Optimal foil precision and control levels thanks to a hollowed, concave deck that brings your contact closer to the foil and lowers your centre of gravity. Combined with longitudinal and lateral concave, rider feeling is direct and precise. The level of foil control, feel and precision is maximised.
 

The forward position and exceptional rigidity of the foil tracks provides highly effective take-off capability in low wave energy and ultra light wind conditions. This advanced track positioning increases the board's flight capabilities, allowing you to have all the takeoff benefits of a longer board with the ride feel of a very much smaller board once up on foil. The inserts are strategically positioned on the front foot, offering uncompromising performance.
