Description

With its unique shape, you will enjoy any type of waves with the F-One Fish 2012 Kite Surf Board that can be use with or without straps and in pure surf.

 

Even with a small and weak shore break, it's rounded outline will allow for tight turns maintaining contact with the wave at all times.

 

Its perfect rocker gives F-One Fish boards incredible early planning ability and manoeuverability which remains unchanged.

 

For 2012, a wider nose facilitates entry into fast carves with an ever faster exit.

 

Easy during your turns, the F-One Fish also gains in stability with a more natural drive, less technical.

 

The F-One Fish has amazing upwind and planning capability, thanks to its width and flat scoop and with its impressive floatability you can use a kite one size smaller than usual and stilll gain steering and direction control.

 

New also for 2012 is an ergonomic adjustable strap with a wavelock system for easy mount (based on the twin tip straplock).

 

Available in two sizes, these two Fish offer the same program; oriented toward light wind and small waves. Recommend 5'4 for riders below 80kg, the 5'6 above.

 

 

Construction:

A kiteboard sustains more constraints than a standard surfboard. It endures more pressure, mainly in the upwind stage, in the chops, and during jumps. A sandwiched construction is a must-have for our sport.

 

F-One's research them to bamboo. The result is a light structure, super strong that absorbs those constraints. The extremely dense cellular structure of bamboo surpasses that of oak in stability and elasticity.

 

Bamboo is superior to wood in terms of durability and rigidity. This mighty grass is extremely solid due to high elasticity fibers lined up to the cane on the outer layer of the peel. With regards to tensile strength, bamboo matches up with tree and steel.

 

The use of bamboo is also environmentally responsible. It has an astonishing growth rate: the “giant bamboo” will grow 30cm to 50cm per day to reach 15 to 30 metres. Every year the “mother plant” generates several shoots allowing a full grown “forest” to be harvested after 5 years without reducing the size of the forest.

 

Fin Setup:

F-One use the most advanced fins available, The Future Fins Vector II profile were specifically designed for explosive radical surfing making it great for speed and releasing off the top. The Thruster fin setup will also make the radius of the turns a bit longer and will hold in the turn better.

 

Waveriding:
When the water starts to roll and become 3D, it is important to have the right tool. F-One Surf Boards are designed in style that will make you stand out on the water and with an attention to detail that will help you take your riding to the next level.

 

Carving:
When the waves are not up, you can stilll use the power of the wind and ulitimate carving shape of this surf board to your advantage. Jibing, speeding, pointing upwind – it is all great fun and freeriding starts to take on a new meaning when one of these Surf Boards is between you and the water.

 

Strapless Fun:
Generally kitesurfers are used to having straps that attach you to the board. Well it is no longer that simple and obvious. Riding strapless is just unbelievable fun. Standing freely on the board that is moving very fast brings much more emotions to the whole aspect of riding. The challenge of just riding and cruising make it so different and challenging that everybody should try it. The carving feeling when everything relies on the riders position and balance is multiplied by 10. Pure fun.

 

Surfing:
When the wind is dead and the waters are moving and rolling, there is nothing better than just paddling those waves to surf them. You can use F-One Surf boards to do so and this will be a great experience.

A great allround thruster board intended for medium sized riders. Its shape is very compact and balanced. This is a great board for use with straps whenever there are waves.

A board for bigger riders or for lighter wind conditions.
