X-Foils Podcast: Inside the F-ONE Frigate with Designer Nicolas Caillou

In the latest episode of The X-Foils Podcast, listeners get an inside look at the F-ONE Frigate through an in-depth conversation with its designer, Nicolas Caillou.

“We focus this chat on the F-One Frigate, its development, and what makes it stand out in the growing parawing world. But honestly, we wish we had hours just to talk to Nicolas the person, because there are so many layers to what he does — from R&D to marketing, innovation, and his constant drive to make products that are high-performance, reliable, and fun.”

The Frigate

Discover the FRIGATE, F-ONE’s first pocket wing, designed to take you further. With the FRIGATE, forget the paddle and the car: go upwind in the blink of an eye and set off for a long downwind in total freedom and simplicity. 

  • Exceptional upwind performance: speed up your ride upwind, spend more time downwinding.
  • Stability and comfort: a precise, consistent ride, even in gusty winds.
  • Compact design: easy to stash, easy to deploy.
  • Revolutionary dynamic bridle system: for maximum control of the shape and tension of the sail in the sheet-in/sheet-out position.
  • Wide wind range: ride all day with the same size, even if the wind picks up.
  • Durability, rigidity and lightness: thanks to Porcher’s top-of-the-range fabric and LIROS bridles.
