Intuitive and perfectly balanced in flight, this new generation confirms the STRIKE CWC as the benchmark for light-wind wings. The excellent forward traction offers a unique glide, enabling more enjoyable and prolonged sessions. Each pumping motion translates into instant forward drive and glide, letting you take off effortlessly, even in the lightest conditions.  The CWC makes going upwind easy and boasts an impressive high end as well so you can absorb the gusts if the wind picks up.

The STRIKE CWC retains the features for which it is renowned, offering the most compact design on the market for the bigger wing sizes. Highly maneuverable and easy to flip around when on the water, it feels smaller in your hands yet delivers the full power and comfort you need to make every light wind session count.

Its straight central strut reduces drag and limits deformation, while the slight dihedral angle and triple-strut geometry enhance stability and keep the wingtips clear of the water. Combined with precise tension management and a new radial cut, the profile remains smooth and efficient throughout the session.

The inflatable structure is now fully made of HITEX for unmatched durability and resistance to elongation. The Sweep Control Panel, also in HITEX, reinforces the leading edge and helps control its rearward deformation, while maintaining lateral flex for comfort and energy transfer during pumping. Ultimately, it regulates trailing edge tension, ensuring stability, upwind abilities, speed and long-term performance.

On the canopy, the TECHNOFORCE™/D2 fabric ensures strength where needed, with 66g on the trailing edge and 52g elsewhere for optimal balance of performance and durability.

Ride comfortably and freely with the STRIKE CWC, a complete game changer for your light wind days.

SAIL ENGINEERING

Sail engineering is the science of controlling our design and its behaviour while flying. These features have been created with one goal in mind: Mastering the kite's loads to maintain the desired shape for the longest time.

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.

TECHNOFORCE

TEIJIN’s TECHNOFORCE™ is the most reliable high density polyester fabric. Its tear-stopping structure using thin and high tension yarn makes the fabric ultra-durable.

It has a great proven track record of lightness and durability.

HITEX

To meet the specific needs of the development of wings and kites, and to offer a high-performance and durable product without using inaccessible materials, F-ONE has developed HITEX, a new high tenacity polyester. Available in 158g, and exclusively for F-ONE in 178g, this new material is incredibly resistant to elongation and increases the durability of wings and kites. 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.

COMPACT WING CONCEPT

The pending patent : Compact Wing Concept is an F-ONE innovation. This new design offers a compact shape, easy to handle and offers amazing light wind riding sensations without compromises.

TRIPLE STRUT

This unique Wing geometry with its two additional struts allows adding more surface into a given wingspan.

SWEEP CONTROL PANEL

The Sweep Control Panel provides dynamic and precise control of the wing’s sweep angle by improving tension control. Thanks to this innovation, the trailing edge remains taut, guaranteeing stability, upwind abilities, speed and long-lasting performance overtime.

Running from wingtip to wingtip and designed with a more resistant fabric or material, this continuous panel reinforces the front part of the leading edge and helps control its rearward deformation, while maintaining lateral flex for comfort and energy transfer during pumping.

The specific construction of the leading edge, incorporating 2 or 3 different materials and weights depending on the wing’s model, allows for its stiffness and flex to be managed perfectly and naturally throughout the entire ride. The use of these 2 or 3 ideally placed materials also saves weight on the wing.

REACTOR VALVE

The reactor inflation valve offers a high flow connection that twist locks the pump hose to the kite for an easy and super-fast inflation and deflation at the push of a button.

It provides a high air flow rate between the struts and leading edge.

INTERCHANGEABLE WING HANDLES SYSTEM

All our wings are fitted with our interchangeable handle system. Whether you’re looking for a light and comfortable setup with soft handles, a more direct and aggressive ride with hard handles or something in between with our innovative hybrid handles, we’ve got you covered.
