The AFS team got together to spend a long weekend in Leucate. In Southern France, this spot is renowned for its reliable wind and friendly atmosphere, the perfect destination for the team to share the stoke.

Bringing together a team of addicts around a sport as unifying as foiling, from all corners of the Mediterranean Sea... this was the first challenge of 2022 for AFS, and they did it! On the weekend of April 23rd, AFS, a full-carbon foil brand made in France, invited its team of ambassadors to Leucate, a mythical city of the competition “Le Mondial du Vent”. A great moment of riding and sharing. And if there is one thing that the AFS brand knows how to do, it’s to share our love of watersports. During this trip, six AFS representatives and nine ambassadors lived together and went riding together, but above all, they created good friendships. Between long sessions of wingfoil or surf foil, meetings between riders and product designers of the brand, and chatting while the sun went down, all the elements were gathered to spend an action-packed three days together. 

The human factor: the pillar of the AFS philosophy 

The human factor is the main theme of all the actions and events organised by AFS in 2022. The brand of Wing Foil has understood that it’s only through this constant exchange between riders and manufacturers that it is possible to achieve such a high-quality product and thus satisfy the expectations of all foil riders. By creating this kind of event, AFS also wants to facilitate the transmission of practice, passion, and technique. The goal of these weekends is to allow the team's riders to test equipment, to exchange with product designers to bring their practice to the next level, and above all to ride together. Like a family weekend! 

Being an AFS ambassador 

Being an AFS ambassador means being part of the big family of watersport addicts. Being an ambassador means sharing the brand's values. You only have to meet them to see that they have the famous "foiling spirit" that rings a little in each of them. Moreover, the choice of the spot of La Franqui in Leucate as a place to meet to transmit this spirit of the glide was not a chance. Arriving at the spot a few days before the start of “Le Mondial du Vent”, it was an opportunity to let the young riders express their promising talents in the water, all in front of the recognised riders and competitors! This allowed those who wanted to prepare for their next competition to do so, surrounded by pros! 

This is the AFS spirit.
