Ozone R1

$ 1,915.00

Packed with state of the art technology, the new generation of ultra high performance kite is here: the R1. The R1 was born through radical design ideas during the development of the Chrono. Developed without compromise using proven Chrono technology, the R1 produces breath-taking speed and performance. The ultra clean leading edge, smooth surfaces and number of cells give an insight into its capabilities. But it's what you can't see that makes this race focused kite so special, the feeling on the bar and the responsiveness of this high aspect wing is unique. Our newly calculated sail tension brings a level of stability that surpasses every high performance kite we have ever produced by far. Combined with new diagonal ribs, a high aspect ratio planform, reduced cell width and a new high performance profile the boundaries of performance have been re-defined again. The R1 is truly a race pedigree performance kite that will inspire confidence to the rider while delivering outstanding racing performance on the water, land or snow. The R1 is for advanced riders only who have previous foil kite experience. It is not difficult to fly but there are techniques required to fly a high aspect ratio foil kite. The R1 will require maintenance just like any high performance equipment in racing sports, for example replacing tires or piston rings on motorbikes, the R1's Speed System and Bridle Lines must be checked after every 60 hours flying time, if they worn or are not to factory specifications (+ or - 1 cm) then they must be replaced or the kite will not perform as designed.Ozone R1 bridle specs. The R1 is a closed cell foil and is water re-launchable, but we recommend that you keep it flying and out of the water if possible! A drainage system on the wing tip allows any water that may have entered the kite to drain out. The R1 features a simple yet effective front line flag out release. After releasing the flag out you should check the speed system, bridle lines and your flying lines for twists before restart. The R1 is not a wave kite and should not be used in waves. Design and Performance Features: High cell count – The high number of cells in the R1 reduces ballooning between the cells holding the wing shape and surfaces smoother and cleaner. This creates a reduction in turbulent airflow, giving the R1 more speed and increased depower. Optimized leading edge air intakes – Precisely positioned intake valves along the LE lead to a stability increase and a more solid kite downwind. The inflation is also now easier and safer as the kite rapidly inflates. LE profile reinforcements – The Leading Edge is reinforced with flexible lightweight plastic battens to maintain the shape of the profile during angle of attack changes and turbulent airflow. Internal diagonals and straps – Internal span-wise straps work in unison with optimized diagonal ribs, distributing load into and across the sail evenly and effectively. Together the diagonals and straps lower sail tension and increase the structural balance that helps control this high aspect ratio kite. High performance bridle lines – Using high performance thin Kevlar bridle line, the R1 flies faster, and so accelerates faster giving it higher performance, more range and more depower due to less drag. High performance materials – High-tenacity sail cloth with extremely low porosity values and an overall lightweight enable us to further stabilise the canopy and maximise fast flight characteristics. Velcro + water out channels – A 20mm internal channel is shaped into the end of the cells along the trailing edge to allow water run-out between the cells and out of the tips during flight. The Velcro dirt out channels can be opened for cleaning the kite. Always clean your kite by emptying any water, sand or dirt as this will prolong the life of the kite and help it fly as designed. Construction Features: Exceptional hand checked Ozone factory construction using the highest quality materials. High performance light weight canopy material. Leading Edge profile plastic batten reinforcements. Internal diagonals and strapping improve load distribution and durability. High performance low-drag bridle lines. Optimised Leading Edge air intake valves for fast inflation and no deflation. Unique internal wing-tip drainage system to remove water while flying. Double pulley speed-system, utilising the latest high spec low friction Ronstan Orbit pulleys. Color coded and numbered fool proof line connectors. Velcro openings on last tip cell for easy wash out of debris and water. Water proof deflation zipper on top centre cell for easy and fast deflation.   Package Contents Kite Only Kite Large technical bag Ground stake Repair pack Manual Stickers, keyring Complete All items from Kite Only package Race bar with 25m race lines Leash

F-One Bandit 2020 V3

$ 1,319.00

The legendary kite is back once again, and this year the smaller sizes have a focus on big air and kite loops. 

• New outline: Featuring squarer tips for more maneuverability
• Incredible Top End: Get total control in high winds
• Improved stability: Well behaved no matter what the conditions
• Ride for longer: Lateral pull turned to forward energy
• Powerful kite loops: The turning arc is always predictable, the speed back to the zenith is fast and clean

Splitting the BANDIT into two distinct lines has allowed us to radically change the way the smaller sizes of the BANDIT 2020 work. The 7, 8, 9 and 10 m are now fully geared to overpowered riding, big air and kite loops. The larger sizes from 11 m and up offer incredible control and freeride abilities with a huge wind range. Key to this new concept is the updated spider 4 or 5 points bridle set up, which is different to the classic 4 point bridles on the BANDIT S. The new bridle helps keep the profile arc of the kite stable even in extreme overpowered conditions. 

This adds a massive amount of control and comfort to your riding, making it the perfect tool for events like the Megaloop Challenge and the King Of The Air. The leading edge is slightly larger in diameter too, further enhancing the stability of the kite in the air. New wingtips with a squarer, more drawn out shape allow the kite to rotate fast through the turns due to less drag thanks to the narrower angle on the rake of the tip. This new design generates a wide dynamic turn that delivers lots of pull and power through the turn for huge kite loops. 

Comfort on the water is key to everything we do here at F-ONE and the BANDIT 2020 takes that to new levels. Less lateral pull, especially in overpowered conditions, will not fatigue the rider and you won’t feel like you are being beaten up on the water.

The BANDIT 2020 has been designed not to deform when it is depowered; instead, the kite holds its shape and remains in the same spot in the window no matter the wind strength. This means it generates smooth and comfortable forward momentum even in the gustiest of conditions. This leaves you feeling more energised and able to stay on the water for longer with impressive upwind performance. The kite keeps flying and provides a constant power distribution. 

The turning speed and reactive steering is another feature of the BANDIT 2020 you will enjoy; the bar pressure is a little more positive than the BANDIT S allowing you to feel where the kite is at all times. This is particularly important when kite looping; however, while there is a little more bar pressure, the steering is incredibly quick to react and very dynamic. The turning arc of the kite is always predictable and under the control of the rider. The speed back to the zenith is fast and clean. This allows you to throw huge mega loops and feel safe and supported for the landing. 

The fast nature of the kite allows you to send it back in the window for explosive takeoffs, and we’re expecting this kite to top the WOO leaderboards this year. You can still ride waves with the new BANDIT 2020; it’s geared to be a great all-round kite just like every BANDIT. The emphasis this year was on the kite loops and big air though.

The larger sizes of the BANDIT 2020 feature all the excellent characteristics of the smaller sizes, but the design profiles and arcs have been tweaked to offer even more low-end wind range and lightness. You no longer need different styles of kites to fill your quiver, just choose the BANDIT that best suits your riding style and get on the water in as little as 10 knots while being confident in over 50knots too.

The new BANDIT 2020 will excite you like never before; great power is nothing without control, this kite has that and more. Big jumps, huge loops and loads of hangtime, perfect for freeriding too, get ready for the future, get the new Bandit 2020.

Slingshot Angry Swallow

$ 899.00

The 2015 Angry Swallow is proven to be the most unique surfboard shape in kiteboarding. The T-Rex design with a truncated nose significantly reduces swing weight while still providing a central control point on the board — making airs, spins and flip tricks easier than any other board. The parallel outline reduces drag and increases water speed to get more upwind performance without jeopardizing stability. The Angry Swallow also features the FCS II Fin Setup that allows for multiple fin setups to fit your conditions and riding style. The shorter board sizes make it easy to take with you to your favorite wave destination and fits in a wider variety of travel bags. Each of the sizes rides like a larger board without the weight and hassle and Fluid X Dampening System reduces vibration which improves feel.

Stretch Kiteboard

$ 899.00

You've seen this board in the mags and videos under Peter's feet so you know what it's capabilities are. Everyone who rides one says the same thing - in good waves, there is nothing that even comes close to the performance of the Trow Directional. This comes from years of Stretch working with Trow to get the shape dialed to perfection. 41cm width in 150-147cm length. The rocker on this board is Stretch's hi-performance surfboard curve, the rails are a miniature version of a surfboard rail. The single concave runs through the tail of this board just like a surfboard. Built with three or four fins, two or three straps - your choice. Comes with straps, pads and fins and pads ready to ride!
