I Accessible and really progressive, the F-ONE KITEFOIL is the new weapon of choice to not only ride, but truly fly over the water. Foiling is more than a new discipline; it’s a whole new world. The F-ONE kitefoil has been developed with the most experienced foil riders and every element of the foil has been designed to deliver the best imaginable experience out on the water whether you about to *** start or if you already master the magic of foiling. With innovation deeply rooted into its DNA, the F-ONE team has worked tirelessly to design, engineer, test and optimize this new piece of...

F-ONE KITEFOIL I 2015 COLLECTION THE TEAM F-ONE KITEFOIL I 2015 COLLECTION THE TEAM THE TEAM Marc BLANC He’s an emblematic figure in kitefoiling, he teaches it at his kite school, he is widely considered an expert in the discipline and possesses an incredible amount of ease in riding and general knowledge of foiling. His feedback in testing was crucial. He was able to feel the slightest modification and provide great input to improve and bring new ideas to the design. Alex CAIZERGUES Speed specialist, multiple time speed record holder, he has been foiling for many years. He also contributed...

After checking with our usual factories and others in Asia, we realized that we needed a factory that was very specialized and close to us. This brought our production back to France. Our foils will be made in France using “Pre-preg” technology while certain parts will be made out of “Forged Carbon”, a technology emanating from the aeronautical and military industries.

With Pre-preg fabrics, the carbon fiber is directly impregnated with epoxy resin by its manufacturer; this guarantees a perfect ratio between epoxy and carbon, and represents the highest quality process. The material is stored in cooled rooms and catalyzes at 120° C in a mold. The Pre-preg fibers must travel in refrigerated trucks and be stored frozen. The refined ratio between carbon fiber and epoxy resin provides the lightest weight with the best mechanical properties of carbon fiber. ^F=Or?C5=D CflF?BON^I This technology takes advantage of the same principles as standard Pre-preg but...

TECHNOLOGIES FAST CONNECTION DEVICE PATENT We have developed and patented a brand new concept for the assembly of the mast, fuselage and wings because this is a critical aspect of the kitefoil. It drives the reliability and ease of use for assembling and taking the foil apart for transportation, as much as the repeatability of the trim between the front and rear wings. The main benefit of the system is the one and only screw that maintains all the parts together: mast, fuselage, front wing and stabilizer. This screw is placed longitudinally and is therefore only stressed in tension instead...

F-ONE KITEFOIL I 2015 COLLECTION FOIL Using the patented “Fast Connection Device”, the F-ONE kitefoils can be assembled in minimum time using one single screw. Saving time, this system also saves you space as the complete foil can be split into three separate parts which all fit within convenient space for traveling. Less parts, less volume, less hassle! Yet, the most user-friendly aspect of the FCD system is that it guarantees the perfect alignment of your wings and profiles over time, session after session. No tuning is ever required, just plug the parts together and go riding with...

F-ONE KITEFOIL I 2015 COLLECTION BOARDS This board was created to be a 100% dedicated foil board with the specific characteristics required to practice and master rapidly this new discipline. This board was created to be a 100% dedicated foil board with the specific characteristics required to practice and master rapidly this new discipline. With its large volume and wide tail the board is really well suited to beginners. It generates enough buoyancy at low speeds and gives a lot of flexibility with footstrap placements. Compact in design to reduce wind aero drag, the deck features a nice...

F-ONE KITEFOIL I 2015 COLLECTION BOARDS FOIL CONVERTIBLE We all know that kiting can be onerous, so we also decided to offer a board which was a 2 for 1. The super popular surf Pro Model MITU MONTEIRO is therefore available in its “convertible” version for sizes 5’6” / 5’8” / 5’10”: equipped with a KF-BOX you will be able to adapt F-ONE and KETOS foils underneath. The concave on the bottom of the board allows a prompt acceleration to lift off easily while the rocker and outline of the pro model MITU MONTEIRO makes for easy transitions and progression when the board lands back onto the...
