Философия

"We are not involved in kiteboarding because it is trendy or fashionable… We are here because of passion."

F-ONE began its existence at a time when only a handful of people actually believed in a bright future for kiting. The F-ONE adventure has been driven and lead by a rider.

As a melting pot of people, we move forward at the pace of our common passion. Our offices are located 10min from the sea and being on the water as often as possible is a true necessity.

We are in direct contact with the field, listening to the feedback from the schools, distributors, retailers, pro-riders and locals. This diversity directly enriches the F-ONE range and enables us to anticipate as we always try feel ahead the coming trends as much as your expectations and needs.

История

2013

For the past six years we have set ourselves the same challenge: improve the BANDIT yet again. Following some more spectacular innovations we have worked on the feeling of the kite including some small, almost invisible changes that you can’t see but which can really feel: smoother with more stability and control with a more direct bar feeling. The F-One kitebar adopts the MONOLITH technology. The core of the bar is machined directly into an aluminum bloc offering more strength and corrosion resistance. The TRAX is once again leading innovation and gathers our best ingredients to offer great versatility and high performances.

2008

The introduction of the BANDIT with its revolutionary Delta C-Shape design marks a giant leap in the history of F-ONE! Its concept offers great performances with an optimum relaunch. Riding becomes a child’s play for any kind of riders. The Trax 3 has been fully designed for a wooden core construction and our advances in R&D have enabled us to design a new 3D bottom shape with a simple concave.

1997

F-ONE develops a complete range of equipment for kitesurfing and rapidly becomes a market leader for boards.
F-ONE’s activity has already spread internationally and its products are distributed all over the world.

1994

Raphaël stops the competition following a career of 15 years and starts a business in the design and distribution of windsurf boards. This is the birth of F-ONE. Being rider, developer and manager all at once, Raphaël SALLES draws on his extensive expertise to develop his products.
