F-One Surf 2011
Those are excellent all around surf boards that can be used with or without straps and in pure surf. They are longer than the Signature series for better control when strapless or for a bigger rider. Showing the same qualities as the Signature series, they fear no waves. The 6'0 has been Mitu Monteiro's favorite. Its length and width allow you to use minimal kite input during surf. Those are also great light wind boards for strapless riding. Its overall volume helps also to jibe effortlessly. For 2011, the 6'0 has a new outline with a pronounced double concave and pin tail. The 6'2 is a squash tail and its outline is unchanged from 2010. The 6'4 is a new model for bigger rider, based on the new 6'0. The 6'2 was a best seller in 2010. New also for 2011 is an ergonomic adjustable strap with a wavelock system for easy mount (based on the twin tip straplock). Construction: Bamboo Sandwich Technology A kiteboard sustains more constraints than a standard surfboard. It endures more pressure, mainly in the upwind stage, in the chops, and during jumps. A sandwiched construction is a must-have for our sport. Loyal to wood, already at the core of our twin-tip boards, our research led us to bamboo. The result is a light structure, super strong that absorbs those constraints. The extremely dense cellular structure of bamboo surpasses that of oak in stability and elasticity. Bamboo is superior to wood in terms of durability and rigidity. This mighty grass is extremely solid due to high elasticity fibers lined up to the cane on the outer layer of the peel. With regards to tensile strength, bamboo matches up with tree and steel. The use of bamboo is also environmentally responsible. It has an astonishing growth rate: the “giant bamboo” will grow 30 to 50cm per day to reach 15 to 30 meters. Every year the “mother plant” generates several shoots. In a full grown “forest” the shoots can be harvested after 5 years without reducing the size of the forest. Fins: Future Fins Size:
