Accessible, versatile, and active in the water, the F-One Slice Bamboo is great for riders new to directional, those looking for stability practicing transitions, and those wanting to do a little bit of everything like both smashing waves and performing tricks in the air.
It is also best suited for small and medium-sized waves and excels when the conditions are onshore and the waves aren’t too powerful.
The compact format, the thin rails, the pronounced kick on the rocker and the profound channel on the bottom are the perfect attributes to strapless freestyle. The board brings a powerful natural pop, is easy to maneuver in the air, and offers soft and stable landings.
The thin rails give great control and smooth edging through the chop. Predictable and fun in surf, this board is incredibly accessible, and its compact shape makes it very easy to turn in the smaller waves.
The transition from rail to tail is soft, which makes the shift from edging to carving effortless and leads to easier turn initiations. Along with the rounded nose, the bottom’s single channel with a double concave all help maintain float during strapless tricks and offer better handling and more comfort in the waves.
The 5’3” is perfect for larger riders over 75kg who would usually ride a board around 5’8” while the smaller 5’1” is ideal for smaller riders.
All are equipped with a tail pad, foot straps inserts, and a fin set of Futures F4 437 Thruster. Adding a middle and front pad is also an option if desired.
For riders who prefer a direct contact with the board. Simply use some wax and get ripping!
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.
F-One's research them 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 30cm to 50cm per day to reach 15 to 30 metres. Every year the “mother plant” generates several shoots allowing a full grown “forest” to be harvested after 5 years without reducing the size of the forest.
