Description

The F-One Breeze offers unrivalled versatility and an intuitive ride, making it the ideal kite for light wind sessions as well as for foil and freeride enthusiasts. With improved relaunch abilities, a more accessible low end and increased stability, this new Breeze promises an effortless session and thousands of possibilities on the water.

The relaunch and reverse launch processes have been further simplified by reducing the aspect ratio and optimizing the outline. The new profile also guarantees natural upwind abilities and increased stability, even in the most difficult conditions.

The stability of the Breeze at 12 has also been significantly improved, ensuring comfort in both light and strong winds. The kite’s repositioning in the wind window guarantees constant traction, facilitating take-offs in the low end and upwind tacks.

Most of the Breeze’s inflatable structure remains in HITEX 158g. This high tenacity polyester offers great resistance to elongation and therefore greater durability and performances. The wingtips are made of Dacron 150g to guarantee lightness and comfort. The central strut is stiffer thanks to the use of HITEX, making it even easier to keep the kite’s shape and to relaunch if it falls in the water.

The kite’s canopy is now made of TECHNOFORCE™/D2 52g, and the trailing edge of the thicker TECHNOFORCE™/D2 66g. The materials are perfectly distributed to account for the different tensions, high pressures, and weight distribution in each specific area.

Finally, the addition of another Staggered Seams panel on the trailing edge minimizes deformations, ensuring an impeccable profile and maximum performance. We have optimized the fabric’s orientation towards tension as well to ensure a smooth transition between the two TECHNOFORCE materials.

Optimised Bridles:

The bridles have been redesigned to guarantee maximum control of the deformations and of the profile of this one-strut kite, providing optimal comfort when riding and intuitive handling.

Its design, benefiting from a low-V setup, optimized tension distribution and new durable and efficient low-friction pulleys, offers optimal airflow and exceptional in-flight stability.

An area of 60cm in the main V is interchangeable, allowing you to replace only the worn friction zone without having to change the entire bridle system. This zone is the same on all surfaces, making it even more so a clear plus for schools.

Exceptional Versatility:

The new Breeze stands out for its remarkable versatility, and is for anyone wanting a lightweight setup that offers amazing maneuverability with great performance abilities in the low-end. Thanks to our range of sizes from 7 m² to 17 m², the Breeze is suitable for all levels, for freeride and foil enthusiasts, and for those who love light wind sessions.

It also offers an easy lift to get started on jumps, and boasts impressive responsiveness while remaining easy to control. In the air, the Breeze is extremely intuitive; you can forget about your kite and fully concentrate on your ride.

Finally, this kite features a new one-pump valve with a larger diameter for quick and easy inflation.

Versatile, responsive, and easy to control, this new Breeze is the best choice for light wind kiteboarding.

Features

Technology

Delta C-Shape:

Delta C-Shape technology design offers unmatched stability and steering response when fully de-powered, with the possibility of connecting the front lines higher on the leading edge of the kite.

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.

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.

Auto Relaunch:

F-One’s auto relaunch is quick and easy and releases the kite from the water with the perfect amount of traction. 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.

Staggered Seams:

This brand-new F-ONE’s design innovation offers an amazingly sleeked profile for more efficiency and sharper performances.

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.

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.

HiTex is coated with plasma, an innovation exclusive to our supplier, which guarantees increased durability of the fabric. Coupled with high tenacity polyester fibres, it makes HITEX the most durable material on the market.

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.

Control Bar

F-One Linx - SK99 Control Bar:

The F-One Linx bar takes all the best bits of the Monolith Bar and added some great features to create the ultimate connection to your kite.

The Linx Bar now benefits from new SK99 lines, made from the strongest available Dyneema fibres available on the market. It also features a new pigtail system and a new adjustable V-split system

The Linx SK99 bar is also now available in two sizes, 52-45 and 45-38cm; this allows you to choose the perfect size bar for your quiver. The new integrated floats on the rear line not only offer a cleaner look; they also house the mechanism to adjust the size of your bar too.

A new One Line Flag Out safety system features this year and is now the standard for all F-ONE kites. There’s a high-quality corrosion proof Inox steel hub on the front lines that allows one line to slide. The first 6m of the front lines are larger in diameter for durability, and there is a stopper to prevent the bar from travelling too far away from you when the safety is engaged.

F-One have also added a manual swivel on top of the chicken loop this year; it uses a high-quality ball bearing and is easy to rotate even when powered. This allows you to untwist your front lines after performing rotational tricks and is a feature every rider is going to fall in love with!

The Lifeline safety connection has an added swivel, so there is no danger of twists affecting the release of the kite, and the same goes for the leash too. The safety can be set up in suicide mode for freestyle riders while still retaining full functionality when the chicken loop is released as the loop can slide through the Lifeline safety connection with ease.

There’s a new Inox steel ring on the front lines; riders can choose to run the front lines through this ring to give the kite a short V on the front lines. Or you can run the lines outside of this ring to have a full front V. Kites like the Furtive perform better with the full front V, while the Bandit flies better with the short V. This feature of the bar means you only need one kite bar regardless of your quiver of kites.

F-One have retained the ability to tune the rear lines, so if a line does stretch, you can still tune the bar so all the lines are equal and the kite will still fly properly.

The LINX bar features a smaller diameter to make it comfier in your hands and reduce fatigue and, of course, we have new fresh colours!
