AFS U-Glide Stabiliser — The Twist That Unlocks Your Downwind Performance

A high-aspect-ratio stabiliser with extended span and a very narrow chord. The geometry significantly reduces induced drag, maximises hydrodynamic efficiency, and delivers sustained lift at low speeds — while keeping rock-solid control and trim at high speed.

On the water

• Highly efficient pumping — each input generates forward drive with minimal energy loss
• A clean, extended glide perfectly suited to linking bumps, transitions, and long, drawn-out lines
• A smooth, friction-free flight feel — no dead spots, no hydrodynamic braking
• Enhanced directional stability while preserving precise yaw and pitch control

Built for downwind, ready to carve

Although the DNA is clearly oriented toward pure downwind performance, the reduced surface areas also make U-Glide highly effective in carving. They stay lively, easy to counter-steer, and maintain continuous glide through the arc, without stalling or scrubbing speed. Fully compatible with the Enduro range for riders seeking a more gliding, more dynamic feel while retaining precision, control and top-end speed.

Construction

Ultra-thin profiles (4.5–5 mm) with high-modulus carbon reinforcements in key load zones. Construction tightly controls flex for a responsive yet predictable ride under power and at speed.

Sizes

Best paired with: Enduro, Silk and Ultra HA front wings. Best for downwind and glide-focused riding.
