F-ONE Strike V3

Through Sail Engineering, F-ONE has conceived a completely new design; everything has been precisely thought-out to adapt the wing’s shape to the tensions and new materials.

Every panel on the STRIKE V3 is precisely laid to carry a specific load. The front of the wing combines horizontal panels separated by a vertical seam from the innovative radial center panels, which are mapped to accurately follow every load trajectory. The trailing edge is controlled by a vertical panel in 66g. Small radial cuts are also 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.

Thanks to this precise load management, the wind range of the STRIKE is extended at both the high and low end, and the range of wind strengths where the wing feels perfect is greater than ever before.

With the staggered seams, the fabric and its seams work better to keep a smooth and efficient profile and the flying shape of the wing never deforms under load. The control of the profile is ideal, especially in the high end where stability is superb to ride fully balanced on both arms and in total comfort.

The new trailing edge tensions and radial cuts have brought incredible performance and control. Located on the back of the strut, our innovative Load Diffuser made of overlapping panels of hard Mylar and Dacron further helps maintaining the profiles leek and efficient, leading to the ultimate stability, performances, and longevity. Every reinforcement on this wing has been reviewed to ensure durability and to save weight.

With the F-ONE STRIKE V3 delivering stability beyond compare, it could have a flatter dihedral angle and thus reach a bigger projected area. In turn, the power and pumping abilities are even more improved for planing starts. This allows riders to use a smaller wing or board than before.

A new and slightly more compact outline with less span makes the STRIKE V3 easier to pump and ride. The center of traction has been perfectly placed right in front of the rider to guarantee a perfect balance on both arms.

Finally, all profiles have been revised to accommodate new parameters. They were able to slightly reduce the V3’s profile thickness to bring even more comfort and control in strong winds.The high end potential of this STRIKE V3 is impressive, with an effective forward traction that won’t let you overexert yourself even when overpowered.

Handles

To further improve and optimize the rider’s control of the wing, F-ONE have rigidified the handles while keeping the original, lighter construction that doesn’t include any hard parts that could damage your wing, ding your board, or hit yourself. The grippy, ergonomic and comfortable handles allow for some flexibility so your wrist is always in line with your arm.

This also provided the opportunity to design the strut just as they liked. The front of it goes down straight away on your front hand before going up into the wing’s profile near your back hand. This leads to a more natural position to sheet in.

Performance and Control

Thanks to its new design and precise fabrics placement, the F-ONE STRIKE V3 is a masterpiece of aerodynamism. The perfect control of the profile and deformations guarantees unforgettable sessions.

They kept the STRIKE’s light weight and unique freefly stability so you can go for long surfs or downwinds without worrying about your wing and remain focused on your trajectory and foil. In your hands, its legendary planing and pumping power are even better. When on the water, the upwind abilities are impressive with an incredibly consistent traction. This wing’s upwind performance is overall greatly enhanced throughout the wind range.

If you like to glide and go fast in total control and comfort, the STRIKE V3 will bring performance and stability. For freestyle and jumping, the height and lift will surprise you and all landings will be easier.

Virtually a brand-new wing, the V3 is an improvement of the V2 in all areas and pushes the performance of a wing into new territories. While it will surely satisfy riders of the highest level, the STRIKE is also incredibly accessible to anyone wanting to discover wing foiling.

The STRIKE V3 has it all and is yet again ahead of the game. Be the first to pick the third.
