Details dropped on AFS Silk V2:
Old V1 Specs for comparison:
Did 1 of the best surf foil available just get better? Bring on the ride reports.
Digging the shape!
I'd love to try the whole range but I think I'll be buying the smaller sizes.
Somehow this song keeps popping in my head when thinking about the Silks.
foilkook has a review on Youtube.
,
got my 750 and 950 coming hopefully in 3 weeks. hope customs doesn't make me wait even longer! the v1 850 has basically been my daily driver for the last two years, so excited to see how they have improved on the design.
@ 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.
Thanks for the update.
I,m 97kg and the V1 1050 is by far my most used foil. When that become big I grab the 850 so with your report I,m glad I just kept the same sizes in cm2. Till I tried and tested them thoroughly I keep my V1,s because as written above The V1,s match my home conditions (and riding) perfectly. The Enduro,s are good, but besides the 1300 it has never been true love (and I have the 1600-1300-1100-900 and owned the 700) like the Silks.I ordered my V2,s (on advice of AFS) with the Surf 135, and have some Kpart Mako V2 140 stabs that I really like with the V1 that I probably keep using as well.

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

Haha told you the Enduros were good
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).

Took me forever to fall in love with one just had to sort out the right choice for local conditions. Select to expand quoteJeroensurf said..

This is a good take. ^^^
Here in the Gorge the swell changes a lot over a short distance. The perfect foil would be fast enough with the right glide to get through the softer roller sections but then still maneuverable enough to rip on the steep short period stuff that pops up when the river pinches down.
I think the e800, here, makes the whole experience feel well rounded. Silk 1050 was similar, could perform everywhere, but was simply slow and at some point when my style is maxed out it is fun to get going faster for my turns.

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