What AFS has to say:
The U Carve: glide, precision, and pure carving feel. The U Carve range was designed around a full base concept, with a generous footprint to ensure rigidity and precise support. Its reduced wingspan and refined tips recenter lift: roll is completely eliminated for a more surfy, playful feel and ultra-natural carving. Despite this compact design, every detail of the profile has been optimized – thickness, camber, transitions – to minimize drag and maximize glide and efficiency. The result: a responsive, sharp, and fluid stabilizer that releases effortlessly while maintaining continuous and progressive support. You'll experience consistent drive, a true connection with the wave, and above all, perfect control at top speed, enhanced by the effect of the upturned tips acting like true winglets, reducing energy loss and unwanted movement at high speeds. At low speeds, it doesn't fade into the background: you maintain lift, support, and a balanced feel, without ever "falling through". That was the whole challenge: to obtain a foil that rolls freely, is very "surfy", while remaining efficient and stable in light winds.
Program:
The range is aimed at both committed wingers focused on carving and demanding surf foilers, looking for the ideal combination of connection, pumping and free expression in the wave, and the downwinder who loves beautiful lines.
It allows you to adjust your curves in an instinctive, fluid and totally intuitive way, for a lively, efficient and inspired glide.
