CARVING IS “Still” NOT A CRIME
F-ONE is now back with thelatestSK8, Version 2 offering everything you loved about the original, buteven better thanks to its new and optimized carbon layup bringing tenfold sensations on thewater.
- Aspect Ratio: 8.0
- New carbon layupfor enhanced sensations and performance
- Its outline makes it easy toturnand push hard during fast andcontrolledcarves
- The subtle design of the lobe betweenmaneuverabilityandglideallows to surffreely while maintainingefficient pumping
- The wingtips’ design is made tohit the foamandbreach the wing tipwithoutturbulence or ventilation
- Its uniquespeedmakes it a perfect foil for surfing from offshore swells to theshore break with a wing
- Our monobloc construction guaranteesrigidity,durability,and extraordinaryglide.
New carbon layup.Thanks to in-depth research, rigorous testing and theknow-howof our R&D team, the SK8’snew carbon layup delivers higher speedswhile guaranteeing perfect control and greaterstability.Turns become smoother, rail-to-rail transitions more precise, and thefoil’srollmotionisimproved, offering exceptional maneuverability. More predictable, thenew SK8deliversconstant power, makingit superintuitiveto control.The use of High Modulus Carbon,integrated into F-ONE’sDynamic Structural Design,leadsto even more rigidity and dependability.Finally,this layup hasbeen finely tuned andoptimized so that each foil size can deliver the best performance.The SK8 has been designed to surf.Its overall shape provides a fine balance between glide and maneuverability, which allowsthe user to tear a wave apart and then pump back to the peak effortlessly.It doesn’t just turn. It carves.Maneuverability is nothing without power, speed and control. Lay into turns with ease andspeed, push through the carve and see how the SK8 holds a steady line and delivers evenmore speed.It is meant to stay in the pocket.With specific wingtips design, the SK8 is able to hit white water without too manyturbulences, allowing surf-style turns and breaching pretty much any part of the foil.Carve, pump, fly.T ake the SK8 for a wing ride, and you’ll feel a fast, easy-to-go-upwind foil that you can surf allthe way from the offshore swell until the impact zone.
Technology
PRE PREG TECHNOLOGY
Pre-preg makes the foils stiffer and stronger. With pre-preg fabrics, the carbon fiber is directly impregnated with epoxy resin by its manufacturer. This guarantees a perfect ratio between epoxy and carbon and represents the highest quality process. It is then cured at high temperature, bringing strength and durability.
Quality control is much better and so is the working environment for the people building our foils. Pre-preg fabrics offer the lightest weight with the best mechanical properties of carbon fiber.
MONOBLOC STRUCTURE
Having a stiff and solid assembly between all the parts of the foil is key to making it perform at its best as well as easy to handle.
The connection of the front wing with the fuselage is highly stressed and loaded, so it is one of the critical areas of the assembly in terms of structures.
The Monobloc wings are molded together with the fuselage in one shot, thereby removing the connection and the chances for unwanted and parasitic movements.
The structural fibers of the fuselage are spread into the wing to achieve the smoothest and lightest connection.
It is also incredibly stiff and provides absolute control at all times, with the foil responding perfectly to all of the riders’ input.
When the overall dimensions are too large for convenient transportation, a connection is set into the fuselage, behind the mast where the loads are smaller.
TITAN CONNECTION
The TITAN connection enables a very stiff and direct connection between two parts, locking efficiently any movement in all directions.
Its format is compact which is hydrodynamically efficient and very easy to use, assemble and disassemble.
