Light wind riding is one of the wingfoil’s challenges as we want to offer power and performances in the lightest conditions. We needed to rise to the challenge, understand the sport and its specificities in order to offer the appropriate response to the rider’s needs.
F-ONE presents its patent pending Compact Wing Concept and its Triple Strutdesign.
What is the CWC ?
Nearly two years after the release of our firstSwingwe have found the ultimate way to add surface to the wing without compromising lightness and performances.
The newCompact Wing Conceptallows adding more surface into a given wingspan. We have added 2 struts to the existing one offering the most compact shape on the market for the bigger sizes.
The two extra struts increase the wing’s surface without increasing the leading edge’s length. The trailing edge is completely controlled offering a lot of rigidity in the canopy and a reduced aspect ratio.
As we have been able to keep the 5m’s span, we have been able to keep the same leading edge’s diameter and offer thinner wingtips for less weight and more maneuverability.
What's new ?
Compact wing concept
The patent pending Compact Wing Concept is a F-ONE innovation. This new design offer a compact shape easy to handle and offer amazing light wind riding sensations without compromises.
Triple Strut
This unique wing geometry with its two additional struts allow adding more surface into a given wingspan.
The foils of the Gravity line are designed to provide a solid lift with a smooth take-off and great carving potential. Intuitive foils to use, the Gravity foils generate lift at low (and even very low) speed but does it in a smooth way so you can keep your balance easily.
The wings are designed to be easy to roll and turn, so they can perform in the surf. The F-ONE Gravity FCT foils are built up with the FOIL COMPRESSION Technology. This F-ONE innovation offers impressive mechanical properties making it particularly suited for foil subjected to high stresses and bending loads.
“The RPX has ushered in a new level of performance in a freeride kite. All of the changes have made this new kite lighter and faster. For riders worldwide this means better return to the top of window during looping, tighter turning radius for surfing, and lightning fast reaction speed for foiling and everything else.”
- Sam Light (Team Manager)
NEW - TWIN TIP BOARDS
Pair the RPX with the lightest twin tip we have ever made, theFORMULA V1,
for the pinnacle of high-performance kiteboarding.
It's HERE! The New SlingshotWING CRAFT V1foil board line has a size for every winger! From the wide and stable 120L all the way down to the micro 60L, each board was designed to fuel progression!
“These boards are nimble and pumpable, even in the bigger sizes. I’ve seen so much early success starting newbies on the 120L and it is amazing how quickly they progress down to the 90L. Most of our team guys are still undecided on which they like better the 75L or 60L. The 60L is slightly better in the air, but the 75L makes clean landings easier."
When the swell hits the island of Sal you can find Mitu Monteiro, with his setup of choice.
The BANDIT S2 delivers the perfect mix of surf characteristics. The kite is incredibly agile and follows your everymove thanks to its balanced bar feel. Depower is instantaneous, allowing you to turn freely.
The turning response of the BANDIT S2 is amazing, even when sheeted out, offering more control over the kite's position. No need to worry about those back lines tension, the BANDIT S2 has got your back even in on-shore conditions.
Stable and easy to handle, the SHADOW is designed to surf any kinds of waves and conditions. It benefits from a very well-balanced and really intuitive shape. This board is able to carve short turns as well as long and fast curves effortlessly.
It is Mitu's board of choice in specific conditions.
