We’re here to provide you with comprehensive answers and advice to help you make the right choice.
We offer a wide range of high performance rigid paddles for all levels, at the best prices and excellent quality. For years, our Nahskwell brand has been offering a selection of rigid, lightweight and sturdy paddle equipment to suit all types of boating.
Here we answer your questions on how to choose the right rigid SUP board for you, according to shape, weight, level and discipline, from touring to racing to surfing!
If you have an intermediate level and are looking for a paddle board with a nicer gliding sensation, without putting yourself in difficulty, the touring paddle are ideal for you. If we keep the width to avoid the frustration of a board that is not very accessible in terms of balance, we increase the length (at least 11 feet), and therefore the efficiency of the paddle. We often have a sharper nose to cut through the chop. The Fit paddle fulfills this role perfectly if you are looking to glide on the water for hours without tiring yourself out unnecessarily! However, its size makes it much less agile in waves than the Kool.
For those who want to push performance even further, we switch to sup race boards. Much thinner and longer (often less than 28″ wide and over 12’6 long), these very fast, but unstable models are designed for competitive practice, where the main criterion of choice is speed. Very few brands still offer them, such as starboard. Buy only if you’re an accomplished rower!
Essential, the best is clearly to opt for carbon, or a mix with fiberglass, with a composite blade. Aluminum and plastic are best reserved for schools or first-price packs, as they lack rigidity and are heavier, so they’ll tire you out faster without being very effective.
It’s the safety accessory you don’t want to be without. For smaller budgets, opt for straight leashes. Simple and functional, they are a little less comfortable than accordion leashes, which have the undeniable advantage of not dragging in the water or on the deck.
To protect your paddle and travel, our Nahskwell cover is tailor-made for maximum protection in all conditions. Available in sizes up to 10’2.
Foil And Co is the parent company of AFS. Its main mission is to relocate the production of our board sports equipment to France. Today, the company has 42 employees and is based in Brittany. We develop, produce and market under AFS. We also have 2 other brands, AHD and SEALION.
AFS was born within the AHD entity in 2009, with the launch of the first windsurf foil combo (board plus production foil). The historic model is the AFS-1, a foil dedicated to light wind freeride practice, with small sail surfaces (5.5m² in 10 knots of wind). Its field of use was later extended to SUP foils, with the Sealion range of boards, making it the first Stand Up Paddle-compatible foil on the market (2011). 2017 saw the launch of the AFS-2, a new-generation foil developed and manufactured in France. With it, AFS takes off and becomes a fully-fledged entity dedicated to foils. AFS’s vocation is to offer a more high-performance foiling experience, while retaining top-notch accessibility and stability to provide all riders with a safe ride thanks to full carbon construction. Thanks to our know-how and high standards, we are the leading foil manufacturer in France. At AFS, our customers feel they are listened to and supported in their choice.
AFS Advanced is a branch of AFS working on the development of an innovative experience. It’s a concentration of AFS know-how taken to the extreme. Being one step ahead and opening up new horizons in the world of foiling: that’s the role of AFS Advanced. It’s our way of concentrating our know-how and expertise to produce the most advanced designs. It’s the essence and the future of AFS. The essence of our know-how, pushed to the limits of its performance.
Our head office is located in Brittany, more precisely in Pencran, Finistère. We are located Espace Joseph Rolland – 29800 PENCRAN
All AFS foils are manufactured at our company in Pencran, France. All AFS Advanced boards are also made here. Some of our boards are made in Tunisia at Terminatech, as are our covers. Finally, although we haven’t yet managed to make the leap, our wings are now made in China, although all R&D is carried out in-house.
