AFS Enduro GLT 1600 Front Wing – All-Terrain Glide, Power, and Progression

The AFS Enduro GLT 1600 Front Wing is a high-aspect, all-terrain foil designed to deliver exceptional glide, intuitive lift, and smooth maneuverability across multiple disciplines including hydrofoil surf wing, wing foiling, foil surfing, and wind foiling. Developed in collaboration with expert rider Gwen Le Tutour and foil designer Laurent Borgna, this front wing represents a refined balance between performance and accessibility.

Built for riders of all levels, the Enduro GLT 1600 is engineered to help beginners progress quickly while still offering advanced riders the speed and efficiency needed for high-performance sessions.

All-Terrain Performance for Every Foiling Discipline

The Enduro GLT 1600 stands out as a versatile foil capable of adapting to a wide range of riding styles. Whether you are practicing dock starts, exploring downwind runs, or progressing in wing foil sessions, this front wing provides a consistent and reliable performance.

Its design philosophy focuses on:

• Easy take-off in low-speed conditions
• Long-lasting glide for extended rides
• Balanced maneuverability for smooth control

This versatility makes it ideal for:

• Hydrofoil surf wing riding
• Wing foiling progression
• Foil surfing in waves
• Wind foiling in varied conditions

The wing is specifically tuned to perform efficiently even with minimal momentum, allowing riders to maximize water time with less effort.

High Aspect Ratio for Maximum Glide Efficiency

One of the defining features of the Enduro GLT 1600 is its high aspect ratio of 11, which enhances glide and efficiency while maintaining maneuverability.

Benefits of high aspect design:

• Increased glide distance
• Reduced drag for smoother rides
• Improved pumping efficiency
• Better performance in light wind conditions

This design allows riders to experience “almost unlimited glide,” making it easier to connect waves or maintain flight during transitions.

Intuitive Lift and Easy Take-Off

The Enduro GLT 1600 is engineered to provide intuitive lift, ensuring smooth and predictable take-offs even for beginners.

Lift characteristics:

• Early lift at low speeds
• Stable flight during take-off
• Confidence-building performance

This makes it particularly effective for:

• Dockstart beginners
• Flat water paddle-ups
• Early-stage wing foiling

The foil’s ability to generate lift quickly with minimal effort helps riders progress faster and reduce fatigue during sessions.

Exceptional Pumping and Glide Performance

Pumping efficiency is one of the strongest aspects of the Enduro GLT 1600. Its optimized profile allows riders to generate speed easily and maintain momentum over long distances.

Pumping advantages:

• Efficient energy transfer
• Longer rides between waves
• Ideal for dockstart and flat starts

The foil’s refined hydrodynamics ensure that every pump translates into forward motion, making it a benchmark choice for pumping-focused disciplines.

Precision Control and Smooth Maneuverability

Despite its high aspect ratio, the Enduro GLT 1600 maintains excellent control in both yaw and roll, offering a responsive yet stable ride.

Handling highlights:

• Smooth rail-to-rail transitions
• Controlled carving ability
• Stable turning even at speed

The addition of tubercles (small bumps on the leading edge) improves flow control, helping prevent stall and enhancing overall stability during turns.

Designed for Progression

This front wing is specifically built to grow with the rider. From first attempts to advanced sessions, it offers consistent performance at every stage.

Progression benefits:

• Beginner-friendly take-off
• Intermediate-level maneuverability
• Advanced-level glide and speed

It is widely recognized as a “benchmark in dockstart foiling,” while also supporting downwind and wing foil progression.

Premium Carbon Construction

The Enduro GLT 1600 features a high-quality construction using HR Carbon and Corecell core materials. This ensures durability, stiffness, and lightweight performance.

Construction advantages:

• High stiffness for direct response
• Lightweight structure for efficiency
• Long-lasting durability

Additionally, the full carbon design minimizes corrosion risks and ensures long-term reliability even in harsh marine environments.
