When the kite is positioned leading edge down on the water, the combination of its C-Shape and DELTA Pivot design enables it to automatically roll onto one wing tip. This facilitates a quick and effortless water relaunch, allowing the kite to glide towards the edge of the wind window, ready for immediate takeoff. This design is particularly beneficial for riders seeking ease of use and reliability in various conditions.

HRD (Helical Rail Design)

Helical Rail Design (HRD) is an innovative 3D rail construction technology developed by F-ONE for their twin-tip kiteboards. This unique design divides the board's rail into three distinct sections along its length, each serving a specific purpose to enhance overall performance:

  • Thin and Sharp Central Rail: In the middle of the board, the rail is thin and sharp, allowing for improved grip and upwind ability. This design facilitates precise edging and jumping at any time, delivering substantial grip and outstanding pop. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
  • Inverted and Curved Rail Underfoot: Under the feet, the rail is inverted and curved like a surfboard rail, allowing the board to smoothly track through chop and improving its carving ability. This configuration enhances comfort and control, especially in choppy conditions. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
  • Thin Rail at the Tips: As the rail reaches the tips, it thins out again, bringing superior gr​:contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}​:contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

STAGGERED Seams

Staggered Seams is an innovative design feature implemented by F-ONE in their kite construction to enhance performance and durability. This technique involves offsetting the seams on critical parts of the kite, particularly along the trailing edge, to balance the stiffness between seams and fabric. Key benefits of Staggered Seams include:

  • Maintained Shape: By breaking the seam's tension line, this design helps distribute the load over a wider area, ensuring the canopy maintains its intended profile even under high loads. This results in a perfectly leveled canopy profile when the kite is fully powered. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
  • Enhanced Stability: The even canopy profile brings a greater sense of stability without feeling disturbances or bar movement, leading to incredible performance in the high end. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
  • Improved Durability: Balancing the stiffness between seams and cloth reduces strain on the material, contributing to the kite's longevity. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

This technology is featured in models such as the BREEZE V4 and BANDIT XVI, reflecting F-ONE's commitment to delivering high-performance and reliable kites. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

CODE-TEC

CODE-TEC is a groundbreaking material developed by F-ONE to enhance the performance and durability of their kites. This innovative fabric features a double-beam matrix ripstop pattern, utilizing high-tenacity fibers and a proprietary immersion coating chemistry. Key benefits of CODE-TEC include:

  • Exceptional Lightness and Strength: Provides a superior balance between weight reduction and structural integrity, improving overall kite performance.
  • Low Stretch and High Tear Strength: Minimizes deformation under load, resulting in a more precise and responsive handling experience.
  • UV Resistance: Enhances durability by protecting the kite from ultraviolet degradation, extending its lifespan.

By incorporating CODE-TEC into the leading edge and struts, F-ONE kites achieve increased stiffness, smoother relaunching, and faster turning capabilities, offering riders a more dynamic and enjoyable experience on the water.

DELTA C-SHAPE

DELTA C-SHAPE is a patented design by F-ONE, utilized in their kites for over 15 years. This innovative shape optimizes aerodynamic performance and depower capabilities by incorporating more canopy area in the middle sections, increasing the projected area. The C-shape ensures the kite remains responsive and fluid, offering unmatched stability and steering response, even when fully depowered. This design also facilitates easier water relaunches, enhancing the overall kiteboarding experience.

SAIL ENGINEERING

Sail Engineering is the science of controlling kite design and behavior during flight. F-ONE has developed specific features to master kite loads and maintain the desired shape over time. Key aspects include:

  • Load Control Paneling: Aligning fabric panels with warp (0°) and weft (90°) orientations ensures that tension follows the yarns, maintaining the kite's original shape under stress. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
  • Staggered Seams: Implementing staggered seams balances stiffness between seams and fabric, distributing loads over a wider area and preserving the kite's profile even under high tension. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
  • Optimized Fabric Use: Utilizing fabrics of varying weights, from 52 to 155g/m², allows for precise control of shape and tension without adding unnecessary weight, resulting in a lighter, optimized kite. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
