The BREEZE TEC is built around a new DLE 140 inflatable structure, increasing strength and durability while preserving the lightness and smooth flight characteristics that define this kite.
The refined thickness distribution along the leading edge promotes more direct and progressive turning, while the rounded wingtips make relaunch and reverse launch smoother and more intuitive, especially in marginal conditions. The reworked draft contributes to better low-end power delivery, making waterstarts easier and ensuring consistent traction through turns.
The BREEZE TEC naturally positions itself in the wind window, generating steady pull for easy starts and facilitating upwind tacks. In the air, the kite feels light, playful, and reassuringly stable across the entire wind range.
The carefully tuned profile and bridle system maintain excellent control of the canopy shape and smooth power modulation, while the improved bar feel helps deliver a more precise control. The Staggered Seams panels on the trailing edge help minimize deformation, preserving a clean profile and sustained performance over time.
The BREEZE TEC is ideal for riders looking for a lightweight setup that delivers excellent maneuverability while maintaining strong low-end performance. Its accessible, progressive and forgiving nature, combined with its wide wind range, will be particularly appreciated for freeride sessions, kite foiling, as well as by schools and all who love light wind sessions.
1 – WARP TENSION LINE
Woven fabrics feature a longitudinal 0° yarn (Warp) and a transversal 90° yarn (Weft). Therefore, a fabric has great elongation resistance and strength capacities if you apply tension at 0° or 90° along the yarns. But it will deform and stretch when tension is applied at, let’s say, 45°.
2 – LOAD CONTROL PANELING
When engineering the load control paneling, we make sure that fabrics panels are warp/weft oriented, meaning that the load path runs through the yarns. Fabric and seams are then in the best position to receive tensions and maintain the original kite shape.
3 – STAGGERED SEAMS
Most of the kite’s back lines tension is distributed through the trailing-edge panels and seams. As seams are significantly stiffer than the fabric they join, they tend to strain under loads and therefore deform the profile. The staggered seams break that line of tension by balancing the stiffness between seams and cloth, which helps distribute the load over a wider area and maintain the original shape even under high loads.
4 – FABRIC WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Our sails feature four different cloth weights, from 52 up to 155gr/m². Sail engineering allows us to control our shape and drive load tensions without using heavy fabrics or bulky designs, therefore we can reduce fabric’s weight and use. It results in a lighter, optimized kite.
HITEX is an innovative, high tenacity polyester fiber with an enhanced high-quality weaving and coating that increases the fabrics’ resistance. The 178g is a new weight and perfectly matches the needs of the center strut and center of its leading edge. The lighter 158g is used in the leading edge tips.
Used throughout the inflatable structure of the wings and kites and designed to handle the high pressures when inflating, HITEX offers performance and resistance. Thanks to extensive Sail Engineering work, the R&D team has placed each weight of HITEX in different areas allowing absolute control of the shape session after session.
It has a great proven track record of lightness and durability.
DELTA C-SHAPE is a patented design used by F-ONE on all kites for the past 15 years.
This shape was the result of a design research towards maximum optimization of the aerodynamic performances of the kite and of its depower. It gives the possibility to fit more canopy area in the middle sections to create more projected area while the C Shape makes sure the kite remains responsive and fluid.
Once the kite is sitting with the leading edge flat on the water, its C-Shape associated with the Delta Pivot allows the kite to automatically roll over onto one wing tip.
The kite will then glide towards the edge of the window, ready for quick and easy water relaunch.
Original staggered seams have been implemented on critical parts of the kites. The seam’s tension line is broken offering a perfectly leveled canopy profile when the kite is fully powered.
The fabric is orientated towards tension. The perfectly even canopy profile brings a sensational stability without feeling disturbances in the bar.
It provides a high air flow rate between the struts and leading edge.
