The new F-ONE STRIKE ALUULA wing takes everything you love about the STRIKE and enhances it with cutting-edge ALUULA fabric. This super light wing offers impressive performances and freestyle abilities, as well as augmented efficiency and comfort in the entire wind range. Its innovative and refined design lead to improved tension control, stability, and outstanding performance over the long term.
FULLDESCRIPTION
Thanks to the super-light and stiff ALUULA 103g fabric, strategically placed on the wing, this new STRIKE ALUULA is not only lighter but also more responsive, offering unmatched speed and freestyle performance. With this wing, new heights and World records are within reach.
This wing also features our innovative Sweep Control Panel that regulates trailing edge tension, ensuring stability, upwind abilities, speed and sustained performance overtime. This Sweep Control Panel, in ALUULA on this model, ideally reinforces the front part of the leading edge and helps control its rearward deformation, while maintaining lateral flex for comfort and energy transfer during pumping.
The strut of this new model is also designed in ALUULA, which leads to more stiffness and control. Thanks to the mechanical properties of this light and resistant material, the strut is thinner as well. This results in less drag and a noticeable reduction in weight, which also favours transitions and freefly.
The new profile of this STRIKE ALUULA provides greater efficiency and enhanced comfort in stronger conditions, all while benefitting from an excellent planing start and the staple Going Forward feeling of the STRIKE with its unique forward traction. A new radial cut minimises unwanted wing deformations, while a revised strut and connection to the leading edge significantly boosts stability and upwind performances in all conditions.
Thanks to its optimised design, stiffness, accelerations, and massive pop and hangtime, the STRIKE ALUULA will boost your performances in freestyle as well. For your rotations, the wing turns easily on its own, allowing you to land all your tricks and try out new ones.
The optimised strap positioning enables a single Carbon Boom to fit multiple sizes and wing models across the entire F-ONE wing range.

TECHNOLOGY
SAIL ENGINEERING
Sail engineering is the science of controlling our design and its behavior while flying. These features have been created with one goal in mind: Mastering the kites loads to maintain the desired shape for the longest time.
1 WARP TENSION LINE
Woven fabrics feature a longitudinal 0 yarn (Warp) and a transversal 90 yarn (Weft). Therefore, a fabric has great elongation resistance and strength capacities if you apply tension at 0 or 90 along the yarns. But it will deform and stretch when tension is applied at, lets say, 45.
2 LOAD CONTROL PANELING
When engineering the load control paneling, we make sure that fabrics panels are warp/weft oriented, meaning that the load path runs through the yarns. Fabric and seams are then in the best position to receive tensions and maintain the original kite shape.
3 STAGGERED SEAMS
Most of the kites back lines tension is distributed through the trailing-edge panels and seams. As seams are significantly stiffer than the fabric they join, they tend to strain under loads and therefore deform the profile. The staggered seams break that line of tension by balancing the stiffness between seams and cloth, which helps distribute the load over a wider area and maintain the original shape even under high loads.
4 FABRIC WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Our sails feature four different cloth weights, from 52 up to 155gr/m. Sail engineering allows us to control our shape and drive load tensions without using heavy fabrics or bulky designs, therefore we can reduce fabrics weight and use. It results in a lighter, optimized kite.
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 fibre 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 centre strut and centre 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.
TECHNOFORCE
TEIJINs 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.
ALUULA
The ALUULA Gold represents a pioneering category of composite material. This dacron benefits from an ultra-lightweight yet incredibly durable composition.
Its unmatched strength-to-weight ratio allows for faster speeds, higher jumps, and greater manoeuvrability.
When strategically used to stiffen struts like in our STRIKE CWC, the ALUULA Gold ensures that the wing is lightweight, robust and long-lasting, while also enhancing performance and responsiveness on the water.
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.
SWEEP CONTROL PANEL
The Sweep Control Panel provides dynamic and precise control of the wings sweep angle by improving tension control. Thanks to this innovation, the trailing edge remains taut, guaranteeing stability, upwind abilities, speed and long-lasting performance overtime.
Running from wingtip to wingtip and designed with a more resistant fabric or material, this continuous panel reinforces the front part of the leading edge and helps control its rearward deformation, while maintaining lateral flex for comfort and energy transfer during pumping.
The specific construction of the leading edge, incorporating 2 or 3 different materials and weights depending on the wings model, allows for its stiffness and flex to be managed perfectly and naturally throughout the entire ride. The use of these 2 or 3 ideally placed materials also saves weight on the wing.
