Thanks to Dan Corbett and and his mighty crew of the SCKA and Friends for laying out a great weekend of demoing on the beach . Dinner on Saturday night , provided by Ruth Corbett was outstanding – simply delicious ! Conditions varied for the two days, and overall provided for prime hydro foiling conditions .
Join us this coming week end May 16/17 in the Los Angeles area, in Long Beach, at the BELMONT SHORE KITE EXPO to demo all F-One gear, new 17m Bandit + other sizes, Mitu and Signature Surfs, Fish, Trax, Acid & Spicy Twin Tips; and the new F-One foil (only for foilers, no beginners please) !
Joey has been racing in San Francisco for years, won last season San Francisco Thursday Night Racing Series and recently finished 5th at the Gold Cup in La Ventana, an event where none of the world top racers were missing. He started the 2015 racing season in San Francisco by winning the first night with 2 bullets and one second place ahead of Johnny Heineken on the new F-One foil kites. He is a natural fit for the new F-One & Manera USA Racing team and with him as the leader of this new burgeoning team, not only we do have a top competitor, but we also have a great ambassador for foiling in general, and he will be able to answer all the technical questions you might have with regards to the F-One foiling gear, whether it’s the hydrofoil or the foil kites. We wish Joey a great season !
F-One Owner & CEO Raphael Salles explains why F-One is going all in with the Foil program and the origin and designing choice behind the new foil kite

I was unsure what to expect from our participation in the event. I knew F-One recently made a splash by adding top ranked Maxime Nocher to its Foil team and forming with Romain Castel a nice one two punch. This would also be the grand debut of the all new F-One ram air kite, a ultra high aspect kite (or foil kite, or parafoil) that few people even knew existed in the first place. Right from the get-go and the first practice sessions, the new kite proved to be already VERY competitive. And by the end of the week and a fantastic duel with Nico Parlier (Ozone) and Johnny Heineken (Ozone), Max would finished with the same points as Nico Parlier

Here it is, the first piece of the F-One foil kite, the board ! Because as you may recall you need a board to foil, with a specific box to attach your mast. Talking of which, the mast will follow suite, and the foil as well. We will keep you updated. For now, this is what I can tell you about that board:
