The Next LW is a biaxial glass and wood construction deck with F-One’s unique reverse profile surf rail and rounded template. The Next LW comes in two sizes; we tested the larger.

Lots of passionate kiteboarders from around the globe came together for a great cause this past weekend in beautiful Hood River, Oregon on the banks of the mighty Columbia River to celebrate the 10th Anniversary Kiteboard 4 Cancer event and fundraiser. F-One & Manera were a proud supporting sponsor and we had the opportunity to participate as a team in this special event. It was a lot of fun! We wanted to thank everyone who made KB4C 2016 possible, especially Tonia Farman and her team!
Congratulations to our NEXT GENERATION Team on their amazing results at the World Kite Tour Youth Cup 2016 in Costa Brava, Spain!!
