F-One heeft z'n aanbod kite foils uitgebreid met een reeks opgebouwd met een alu mast. De andere onderdelen zijn allen van carbon en uitwisselbaar, dit laat je nu toe om te starten met een beginners set en later te wisselen naar een gevorderden- / expert set.

Aaron McClearnon from Elite Watersports riding the F-One Hybrid Aluminum/Carbon Freeride 800 Kite Foil in St Petersburg, Florida! We are proud to Introducing the F-One Hybrid Aluminum/Carbon Freeride 800 Kite Foil. This Foil features an Aluminum Mast with all carbon counterparts making it easy to enjoy the sensations of foiling no matter what your level!
Coming soon to a Dealer near you, keep your eyes and ears peeled for an F-One/Manera POP-UP DEMO in your area. East and West Coast demo Foils are hitting the water in full force!
The all NEW Hybrid Foil’s are very light weight, almost as light as the full carbon freeride model we have previously offered. Right away you notice the beautiful color scheme, quality use of aluminum/carbon materials, new rear stabilizer assembly, 90cm mast aluminum with carbon base, and the choice of either a 600 or 800 front size wing. This is the first time F-One is offering a lower aspect front wing, the 800! we are used to the 600, which is a medium aspect and known for its high performance.
F-One is the only company to put all carbon components with an aluminum mast assembly. This is the same pre-preg or forged carbon construction you will find on our high end full carbon models. The big difference being the aluminum mast which significantly lowers the price. Packages complete for board and hybrid foil start at $1999.99!
On the water the Freeride Hybrid 800 Kite Foil feels extremely stable, is very fun to ride and allows you to ride with a more relaxed stance verses the 600 front wing. The 800 front wing was built to be slower, more stable, and used for surfing waves or having the most fun while freeriding.
The 800 wing is still quite fast, and much more stable than the 600. You really feel the speed difference between the 600 and 800 wing while going up wind. The 800 is noticeably slower upwind, but by no means it is slow… I really like the feel of the 800 wing overall, I feel more confident attempting tacks and jibs on the bigger wing. It has a more stable, smooth and predictable feel compared to the 600 wing. The 600 has more bite to it and accelerates faster through the turns.
The best part of all is that all components are inter changeable so you can start with the 800 then down the road get the 600 front wing to push your performance even higher.
Vanaf 1 juli 2016 verandert de regelgeving voor brandingsporten. Dit zijn sportactiviteiten op zee die worden beoefend met surfplanken, kites, wake-boards, peddels, pedalo’s, rafts, jetski’s en jetscooters.
Roeiboten, zeilboten, catamarans en motorboten vallen hier niet onder.
De regelgeving werd op vraag van de sportfederaties op verschillende vlakken versoepeld. Zo krijgt de watersporter meer vrijheid, maar ook meer verantwoordelijkheid, om zijn sport veilig te beoefenen.
Alle informatie over deze nieuwe regelgeving staat op de website van de FOD Mobiliteit en Vervoer: http://mobilit.belgium.be/nl/scheepvaart/brandingsporten
Om de nieuwe regelgeving bekend te maken trekt de FOD Mobiliteit en Vervoer deze zomer naar de kust met de federal truck! De eerste twee weken van juli kan je een bezoekje brengen in Oostende (5/7), Zeebrugge (6/7) , Blankenberge (7/7) , Bredene (12/7), Koksijde (13/7), De Panne (14/7) en Wenduine (15/7). Je kan de campagne ook volgen op Facebook en Twitter met #windwavesafe.
Light wind brengt naast de Diabolo ( Foil) nu ook een 1 strut light wind kite uit : de BREEZE
Verkrijgbaar in 11 / 13 / 15 en allen met slechts 1 strut om extra gewicht te besparen.
To make your sessions perfect, we wanted the BREEZE to be:
DESIGN :
We have decided to save some weight by getting rid of the struts. The BREEZE is therefore a single strut kite. Aspect ratio is reduced to make the kite more stable and limit both acceleration and speed. Its profile is completely new as it needs to deliver both power and control. Depower ability is amazing for a light wind kite. It takes our designer’s knowledge to achieve some depower without altering the profile.
The wingtips are wide which helps with maneuverability, transitions and allows for backward relaunch. We have optimized the reinforcement patches to save as much weight as possible and facilitate light wind re-launch. The kite is compatible with BANDIT kite bars.
The bridle is new as well with 4 fixing points and 3 pulleys per side. The BREEZE is available in sizes of 11m² - 13m² - 15m²
ON THE WATER :
- Foil riding :
The BREEZE feels amazingly reassuring thanks to its great stability in a straight line but also during all kinds of maneuvers.
When riding, the kite seems to reach its maximum speed quite early on and then stops accelerating. This is a real bonus in terms of comfort when one knows the high degree of focus required to control a foil.
It offers an impressive feeling of control and feels very progressive leading to more confidence when riding.
It’s maneuverability lets you place this kite perfectly during maneuvers making progress much easier and faster.
We have chosen the bar pressure to be more firm which lets you take support from it and achieve better balance. Re-launch is made super easy thanks to its light weight and backward re-launch ability, to get out of sometimes tricky situations in light winds.
-Other disciplines:
All the qualities highlighted above make it a great learning kite with a twin-tip. The kite feels very gentle and its constant traction is reassuring.
For surfing, the light weight and maneuverability of this kite make it really efficient for wave riding.

Het Franse Alpine Foil, heeft de lichtste Alu-Carbon Hydrofoil op de markt gebracht. Deze hydrofoil is geschikt voor beginners en gevorderden. Met een gewicht van slechts 2,8 kg is deze lichter dan sommige full carbon hydrofoils van andere fabrikanten.
Sedert begin juli heb ik er eentje in test en als complete beginner sta ik versteld over de snelle leercurve. De AlpineFoil hydrofoils passen op alle board montage systemen.
Zelf gebruik ik hem in combinatie met een F-One Mitu convertable.
