Digging the shape!

I'd love to try the whole range but I think I'll be buying the smaller sizes.

I'm excited that 750 is on the top of my list!

Somehow this song keeps popping in my head when thinking about the Silks.



( The 750 and 850 sounds awesome to me)

foilkook has a review on Youtube.,
I traded in my Enduro700 and waiting for the arival of my V2 850+1050 and surftails

@ jeroensurf , i am 100kg i can confirm for the heavy riders ,that the Silk v2 950 has not the same lowend lift as the v1 1050 . Yesterday i was winging 3,5 massiv overpower at my first take the foil was not my problem only my wing was to big ,Baltic see 25-34 kn 1,4 to1,7m choppy 5 sek windwave . Today same spot 5.5 wing ,12- 16 kn flatwater some nice restwaves ,silk v2 950 need more initial speed to get on foil and the foil drops down earlier than the old v1 1050 so the first time i go E 1100 had much fun . Than the wind piks a little up and i go back to silk v2 950 and bang there was the very much loved Silk feeling with more pump and glide . The foil fits nice between enduro 800 and enduro 1100
for my 100 kg. When you are lighter ,80kg and below this is an other world , every plane has a load capacity for the passenger at the lift up, just my cent. Stab was ucarve 150.

The Enduro,s are good, but besides the 1300 it has never been true love (and I have the 1600-1300-....

funny , i have the same feeling with the 1300...

Haven't tried the 1300 but after riding the 700, 900, 1100, I have just fallen in love with the 800. With the UG39 for glide and the mako carve pro 125 for surf and the skinny 80 mast. So crazy about it I decided to pause on ordering the new silk v2s

Different weight/riding style and conditions suit different foils.I,m just back from a week at Crozon- French Britany (and 45min from where the AFS factory is located).I can see that the Enduro,s work there really well. Higher speed waves on in general flatter waves and less tight turning. At Home in the Netherlands I ride slow but steep and short period northsea waves where we make lots of tight turns to stay on the waves, the Silks suit me there better.
With the Enduro 700 for example I was outrunning the waves. because it was simply too fast.My quiver now:UHM 80+ waiting for my One Ocean SS78 with adapter for the bigger foils.Enduro 1600+1300+1100+900 (700 sold)Pure HA 1100Silk V1 1050+850 (ordered the V2 1050+850)Evo1650 (just to lazy to sell it/keep it for when the wife wanna give it a try).****load of stabs (Pure/Silk/Silk HA/ Kparts/UG/KD-Maui).

Looking forward to your V1 vs V2 1050-850 feedback!

I got my 850 V2 last week and sine then its lightwind, its the newgear-nowindcurse. 🤔
Gona ride it with the short fuse as I don,t have a standard, the Ucarve 140 and or USurf 135. (On the normal/non skinny 80UHM mast).
An Silk 1050 V2 is hopefully ariving soon.
I tried the Ucarve 140 wit my Enduro900 in light conditions and was suprised by how good that felt. maneuvrability alike my Kparts Mako V2 140 but with more glide and slightly better pitch



edit: the 850 looks sexy as hell.

First day on the 750 today... longtime user of the v1 850 as my daily driver for about two years, although this year that was supplanted by the Duotone Crest 800. The new 750 pretty much blew my mind. Obviously, I loved the v1 850 for its speed range, control, and carving abilities. I found the Crest 800 to be a more efficient foil. The v2 750 feels even more efficient. Was riding with the 85 skinny mast, standard fuse, and U-Surf 120 tail in the short position. Other equipment used today Duotone Skybrid D/LAB 70l and Unit D/LAB 3.5... I should have been on my 3.0. Speed seemed good... clocked 23.8kt top speed with a 5 sec 23.1kt. It wasn't a day for going fast and I was not focused on that either as the windswell was very ridable. I fell in love with the efficient low-drag feel while riding bumps and the power I could generate while on rail working the swell... it really was so fun. Not big swell either, but very easy to maintain altitude... the pump is light and effortless which is a big change from the v1 for me. Going rail to rail I found myself much more able to keep my front foot engaged and not have not nose up (or fight it) while rolling perhaps due to the small stab. I might bump the mast forward 1cm to account for the small stab next time, but I only really noticed less front foot pressure when switching my feet... seemed ok when blasting, but needed a similar adjustment last year when I tried the Ultra Glide 41 stab w/ the 850. Low end seems very good. Demoed to another guy after I had to leave and he loved it as well... noticed very good low end and high top speed while being a very smooth ride. He stalled the foil a couple times, but I had no issues and had it going really slow several times. I would say this is the sort of foil I had envisioned the Enduro 700 would have been. Never got along well with that foil... stall speed was too high and not enough low end for my conditions and how I like to ride.
Will ride it again and report back, perhaps it was just a really good day haha. But it felt like the best foil I've eve ridden. Now curious to have other people try it.

Had a proper session on the 750 today (short fuse, UG41 in short position, skinny 80) doing parawing laps on wind against tide bumps at around 25 knots. What a foil! I have been a big fan of the Enduros, the E900 being my most used for parawing but the 750 takes bump surfing to another level. The E900 has many fine qualities but the span makes itself felt when you really want to push hard through a turn. I wing on the Pure 700 but it didn't really suit this and have the Ultra 750 too but that wasn't quite right either.

The Silk 750 as part of my setup offers everything I want out of a parawing bump surfing foil. Control, speed, glide, turning (so much turning!), breach recovery, low end and good pump with good projection.

Turning was sensational, just so reactive and intuitive underfoot in roll, and once in the turn so smooth and controlled. Just gave so much confidence and freedom to place myself wherever I wanted and let rip.

Control - pitch control was almost automatic, and just followed the contours of the messy bumps going upwind in particular meaning less input needed from me. Downwind, riding bumps it was playful and gave good feedback on how high I was. Through turns, just so smooth and predictable.

Speed, glide and pump were all great which gave options, and could move forward up and over into the bigger drops, or sideways if there was nothing in front (or backwards to ride the same bump again)

Low end was also stand out. I got caught out a couple of times and got slow but it just hung on in there giving me a chance to pump out.

Recovery - it just looked after me. There were a couple of accidental breaches which I had no business foiling away from but I did. Combination of great breach recovery and quick turning which kept the board underneath me.

So stoked on this foil. There is an overlap with the E900 for sure and that will stay my smaller conditions option, but the Silk 750 is epic.

A couple observations as I’m feeling these foils out (750/950 with 1050 or 1150 coming). Caveat that I’m mixing in some new tails too which is a secondary variable to confuse things.



these foils are far more efficient than the silk v1 and enduro. Once you are on foil they are faster and just feel smoother through the water. Very noticeable difference in feel. This is the biggest improvement - more efficiency than the enduro and similar roll to the silk v1.

the foils do pump with more drive than the v1s. 750 v2 pumps easier than the 850v1 and the 950 v2 pumps easier than the 1050 v1.

I’ve seen discussion saying the low end of these foils is dramatically better than the v1 silks but I’m not sure I agree. I’m not finding the same low end in the 950 v2 as I had in the 1050 v1.


the foils either ride more back footed than the v1 and enduro, or they want to be ridden further forward in the tracks. I’m riding them further forward than the enduro and v1 both of which I rode in a similar position.



overall very happy with these and finding that they have replaced both the v1 and enduro for me.
