Kite

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.
2017 is very special year for F-One with the release of the 10th edition of the BANDIT. Yes 10 years already... what a ride we have had with that kite and what a bright future with all those new products being released. Best way to check out the new collection is to do those 4 things:
Foils are not really a beginner kite, and don’t match the steering precision of an LEI kite, but within the niche of racing and extreme light wind kiteboarding, this kite cannot be beaten for low end pulling power. -TKB
You need a little bit of history to understand how and why the FURTIVE was born. In 2014, Alex Caizergues, our long time speed specialist and holder of the speed work record, asked the F-One R&D team for some custom kites to beat his own speed record of 56.62 kts. The design brief was to reach a maximum speed by riding over-powered with a 6.5m² on the speed run with an average wind of 50kts… We have therefore worked on a kite with more aspect ratio and 5 struts
Foiling is more than a discipline, it's a new world ! F-One vision is now clear, Foiling is not just a sub category of kiteboarding, or paddleboarding or even windsurfing, it's emerging as a new watersport entirely, the same way we have surfing, kitesurfing, paddleboarding (SUP) or windsurfing, now we can add Foiling in the mix. To that effect, F-One is launching a dedicated website for foiling: f-onefoil.com.
2017 will see the release of the tenth edition of the BANDIT. Our sport has evolved quite a lot since the launch of the first Bandit 10 years ago, yes 10 years !! To celebrate this milestone, F-One has decided to develop "satellite" kites around the BANDIT, which will remain at the core of our range. The number of disciplines within our sport is now quite amazing and hydro foiling has opened a wide array of new possibilities. The swift development of foils requires the development of new kites to optimize
