Thinnest. Fastest. Most responsive tail in the lineup.
The Afterburner is UniFoil's high-performance tail — the thinnest, highest aspect ratio stabilizer we've ever made. Built from high-modulus carbon with a low-drag profile and a down-curved shape, the Afterburner is designed to speed up your foil, tighten your turns, and add precision to every carve. It's loose and responsive through direction changes, but holds confidently when you push through a turn.
Compared to the Progression tails, the Afterburners are quicker, more efficient, and tuned for riders who want ultimate control in the surf. But their low-drag profile and high efficiency make them equally exceptional for downwind — longer glides, less drag, reduced fatigue over distance.
All sizes except 14.5" ship with a protective cover included.
Afterburner 13.5" — After months of requests from our team riders in Hawaii and Australia, the smallest AfterBurner is finally here.
The AfterBurner 13.5 keeps everything riders love about the lineup — speed, control, drive, and that surf-first feel — in a smaller, more nimble package. Faster rail-to-rail transitions, tighter arcs, and a looser, more reactive feel underfoot without losing the stability that makes the AfterBurner so addictive across surf, downwind, and winging.
Built for riders pushing harder, surfing tighter pockets, and looking for maximum response at speed.
Afterburner 14.5" — The faster, tighter option. Pairs best with larger front wings (150cm+ span), where it tightens the turning radius and reduces drag. The go-to for riders who want to speed up bigger foils and add carving precision.
***Does not come with tail cover
Afterburner 15.5" — More stability and control, especially when paired with smaller front wings (under 150cm span). The extra span adds hold and composure without sacrificing the Afterburner's signature speed and responsiveness.

Loose through the turn. Locked on exit.
Speed Up Your Foil
The Afterburner's ultra-thin, low-drag profile adds top-end speed to any wing it's paired with. It tightens the turning radius, reduces drag, and lets your front wing breathe at higher speeds. If your foil feels sluggish or over-stabilized, the Afterburner is the fix.
Down-curved. High-aspect. Precision-built.
Carving Control Without the Drag
The down-curved shape enhances roll and carving control — you feel the tail engage through every direction change. But it never drags. The high-aspect profile keeps efficiency high through pumps, glides, and transitions. Shockingly stiff for how thin it is, thanks to high-modulus carbon construction.
Surf it. Run it downwind.
Two Sizes. Dial Your Setup.
The 14.5" pairs with larger wings (150cm+ span) — it tightens the turn and strips drag. The 15.5" pairs with smaller wings (under 150cm) — it adds stability and hold without losing speed. Think of your tail like a surfboard fin — it's the cheapest, easiest way to completely change how your setup feels.
Its badass 😎

Great speed and pivot
I’ve paired it with the evo155 and evo135 and short fuse so far. I was using the pro13.5 tail before. It feels more slippery, less stable and faster. I had to shim it +1.5 to be able to pump it without overpowering it. I weigh 195Lbs+. It’s exactly what I wanted it to be. The glide is better with less drag, it’s more efficient, faster and it turns great but may not feel as locked in as the pro13.5 tail. I’m in Florida and it’s summer so we don’t have any good waves or DW conditions for a true trial yet. I think it’ll be my go to tail for DW with the evos but I may still prefer the pro13.5 for pocket surfing with my progression foils and smaller evos.
