From F-ONE
Renowned for its lightness and maneuverability, the SWING excels in waves and freefly, delivering exceptional performance in complete control and evenness. Thanks to its completely reworked design and reduced wingspan, this fifth SWING perfectly balances stability, ease of use, comfort, control and smooth power delivery.
The F-ONE SWING V5 is designed for maximum comfort, lightness, and maneuverability. Its compact shape and reduced wingspan enhance stability, ease of use, and pumping efficiency for effortless planing starts. The forward traction inherited from the STRIKE series gets you foiling instantly, while the new Sweep Control Panel ensures tension control for consistent performance.
Perfect for wave riding and downwind sessions, the SWING offers smooth power delivery, excellent upwind ability, and a perfectly balanced freefly experience. The optimized strap positioning allows a single Carbon Boom to be used across multiple wing sizes and models.
Whether in light or strong winds, the SWING delivers accessible performance with outstanding control and comfort.

Features:
- Sail Engineering
- 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, let’s 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 kite’s 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/m². Sail engineering allows us to control our shape and drive load tensions without using heavy fabrics or bulky designs, therefore we can reduce fabric’s weight and use. It results in a lighter, optimized kite.
- HT80
- The HT80 is a woven double ripstop high tenacity polyester that brings increased stability and allows a better control of the profile of the kite or the wing. This material guarantees great resistance to elongation and tears, as well as increased durability overtime.
- Moving away from kite fabrics
- The efforts on a kite and on a wing are completely different. Here, we are talking about the structure of our products. Even if the canopy is the surface that receives the wind, the leading edge and the struts of a kite or a wing make up the main structure, and therefore guarantee their qualities in flight.
Held by two central handles, its two sides tend to deform under wind pressure. This is why the leading edge of a 5m² kite is between 10-15cm in diameter, while the leading edge of a wing with the same surface is about twice as big.
