-
Equipped with our new interchangeable handle system
The fourth version of the SWING benefits from a refined design and inherits all the evolutions of the new, and fourth edition as well, of the STRIKE. With its refined design, the fourth version of the SWING offers first-rate sensations while providing controlled speed to keep the foil under control no matter the conditions. This wing positions itself perfectly in the range between the new ORIGIN and the STRIKE.
Thanks to the Sail Engineering work, the new SWING offers an excellent planing start with an easy pumping thanks to its natural flexibility. This will allow every rider, regardless of their level, to use a smaller surface area for even more maneuverability.
The SWING continues to benefit from a compact design and a reduced wingspan, making it exceptionally easy to maneuver and surf. Your hand placement will be optimal as well, and never too high, throughout the session.
The SWING is always ready to glide into the slightest wave while remaining light and stable in freefly. It holds perfectly in the air in a neutral position when turning in the waves and flies itself flawlessly, leaving you free to use the power of the wave with little resistance. It also generates power immediately, and this instant power can turn out to be crucial when kicking out of a wave or waterstarting to safely get out of the impact zone when needed.
Offering efficient upwind riding, this fourth edition of the SWING allows you to enjoy long and effortless downwinders.
The SWING is more intuitive and comfortable than ever before, and remains super stable, light, and balanced, all while maintaining a certain smoothness in its traction. This fourth version is the ideal compromise, offering performance in total control and a certain flexibility. It also provides an excellent balance throughout the entire wind range. Beginners and experienced riders alike will enjoy its gentle feel and ease-of-use.
Design
The fourth edition of the SWING benefits from all the design improvements of the latest STRIKE.
The central strut is now completely straight, which allows us to better control its deformation and possible twisting, while reducing drag. As a result, the infill is a bit lower and deforms less, and we’ve extended it almost all the way to the back. Our innovative Load Diffuser is reduced for weight gain, especially during freefly.
The SWING’s leading edge brings a certain amount of flexibility, but does not penalize control in the high end. The accurate panel layout, precise load management and staggered seams continue to bring exceptional control of the profile in the entire wind range.
The use of HITEX on the inflatable structure, as well as NANO and HT80 on the canopy offer great resistance to elongation and therefore greater durability and performances. These materials are also perfectly distributed to account for the different tensions, high pressures, and weight distribution in each specific area in order to make the SWING an astonishing surf and downwind wing.
Small radial cuts are implemented on the wingtips and on the back of the strut to spread tensions. Aligning the fibre exactly along the load paths means that stretch can be controlled to a never-before-seen level on a wing. Located on the back of the strut, our Load Diffuser made of overlapping panels of hard Mylar and Dacron further helps maintaining the profile sleek and efficient, leading to the ultimate stability, performances, and longevity.The wingtips are protected with abrasion-resistant Kevlar® fabric reinforcements.
INTERCHANGEABLE WING HANDLES SYSTEM
In 2024, all our wings are fitted with our new 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.
Wings come with soft handles pre-installed, but swapping a handle set between wings is quick and easy thanks to our screwless setup
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.
Available in: 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5 m²
