The difference is that the MAGMA is very warm with fleece inside and use the Square Flex skin on the outside, where the X10D inside layer is a more traditional jersey ad Re-Flex

First Impressions of the MITU Pro Essential

ESL stands for Essential which is exactly what F-One decided to do with this board; bringing back the original bamboo sandwich construction and eliminating the pads and inserts; for the riders who prefer a direct contact with the board and use wax for traction.

Alex Caizergues Q&A on the new FURTIVE kite

We asked Alex Caizergues, F-One Kite Speed racer, who owns the current kite speed record holder with 104.8 km/h average over 500, a few questions on the new FURTIVE kite, which has been initially specifically designed for the speed team to break records. It turned out the FURTIVE is more than just a speed kite and that's the main reason why F-One released it to the public for the 2017 season.

TKB REVIEW: Hybrid 800 foil + Mitu Convertible Surf

In summation, F-One has been making some exceptional production foils with incredible attention to detail with impeccable fit and finish. The Freeride 800 is a great entry into the Freeride category with slower foilup speeds and a overall ride that we found to be really fun for freeride carving. The metal mast option is extremely well executed and delivers a very solid feel making this a really great option for the aspiring learner who wants a foil that will serve them well into their intermediate and advanced freeride ambitions.

BANDIT 10 First Impressions: Shows Improvements in all areas over last year’s model

The Bandit 10 is a nice improvement from last year's model and immediately feels very quick and responsive when you put it in the air. Every year you think to yourself, my current kite feels really good, what could be improved? And amazingly this year those improvements were very apparent as soon as I flew the kite. I'd intentionally went out in lighter winds with the B10 7M to try and see how much pull it had and turning in less than normal conditions for that size kite. It was

First Impressions WindFoiling with a Papenoo convertible & Hybrid 900 Foil – Really accessible and pretty damn fun

I was expecting for the whole adventure to hurt but 100ft out from the beach I was up and going. I felt early release and no rail stickiness with the board. Volume was enough to easily up-haul. The pad was good and grippy but not too firm. Having a stomp pad flip up on the tail is really nice for location awareness when foiling. The foil clearly had a lot of lift, with about 12 knots of wind I was able to pump the sail and pump the board and
