Hi guys,
I had the possibility to test the new wing Stream from AFS in the size 4.5 in wind from 12 to 30 knots.
Here you find the full review...if you have question please let me know here or in the Youtube comments :)Here the video
Ciccio have you tried the Diamond V2 as well? and can you compare/describe the difference in feel?I was supprised by how stiff the Diamond V2 was, mostly feeling like a windsurf full camber race sail (and stiffer as I like with 97kg).
What spot is this in Italy?
It is Chioggia (to be precise 'Sottomarina di Chioggia')...a good wave spot in the north of Italy and just a few km from Venice :)

Unfortunately not...the Stream was the first wing from AFS we tried. The Stream is rigid but not extremely rigid and honestly we did not have the feeling you had on the Diamond V2.
Did you like the Diamond V2?
Thanks,I love the AFS foils but didnt like the Diamond V2. very well build but heavy feel and too stiff for me.At the moment really happy wit the Vayu Aura 4 wings.
Just to ad, Its not that it is a bad wing. I think that If you are into racing or freeride its really good, top end was almost limitless. I tried the 5m while using my 4m Aura3 and I think the Diamond was faster and better top end control. Its just that I ride rather small, almost underpowered and love a light flicky feel in the waves instead of going for max speed. For the windsurfers: think full cambered racesail compared to a light flicky freestyle or wavesail
