AFS Blackbird Skinny — Ultra-High Downwind Performance

AFS Advanced.

A redesigned shape for maximum efficiency

Work on the Blackbird Skinny shape is precise — surgical. The board's tail has been narrowed, and both the rocker and tail kick have been completely reworked. Every detail serves one goal: elite-level downwind performance.

Lighter. For real.

The Blackbird Skinny is significantly lighter thanks to a major evolution of its full-carbon construction. Less mass under the feet, more responsiveness, better pumping efficiency, quicker take-offs. This is a board built for riders who want to push their downwind sessions further with less energy input.

Range

Available in two flagship lengths — 8'2 and 8'6 — each with narrow and wider width options, in Blue or White colourways. Pick your size by weight and riding style: narrower for high-performance top-end, wider for stability and progression.
