F-One Plume K-Wing

Description

The PLUME marks the beginning of a new discipline, K-WING, an entirely new way of riding upwind to take full advantage of the swell. The first model created specifically for this sport, it combines a minimalistic design with optimized lightness, exceptional stability and pure glide, offering an unrivalled free fly and downwind experience.

Light as a feather, the PLUME is F-ONE’s most freeing creation yet. The glide of a kite, combined with the comfort and practicality of a wing you can hold at arm’s length, creates a new, revolutionary riding sensation.

F-One Plume K-Wing features:

• Downwind and free flying weapon
• Super easy to us
• Fantastic upwind ability and angle, very similar to a wing
• Exceptionally stable in the air
• Unique glide sensation with a great forward pull
• Wide range of use
• Reinforced safety and easy to set-up
• Sail Engineering: The science of controlling our design and its behavior while flying. These features have been created with one goal in mind: Mastering the kite’s loads to maintain the desired shape for the longest time.
• HITEX: is an innovative, high tenacity polyester fiber 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 center strut and center of its leading edge. The lighter 158g is used in the leading edge tips.
• Plasma Treatment Coating: The HITEX is coated with PLASMA, an innovation exclusive to our supplier, which guarantees increased durability of the fabric. Coupled with high tenacity polyester fibres, it makes HITEX the most durable material on the market.
• Nano: A micro ripstop polyester 55g is used on the canopies of our Swing V3, CWC V2, Breeze V5 and the One V2. The canopy must therefore be very durable to keep its rigidity over time and to ensure the same performance level between the day of purchase and the end of its life.

With a small leading edge, no central strut and a sleek C-shape profile, the PLUME K-Wing is effortless to handle and easy to forget about when free flying. Benefitting from a wide range of use, this K-Wing ensures stability, comfort, and an upwind angle on par with a wing, giving you maximum downwind time.

Gliding feels effortless, as the PLUME pulls you forward without straining your arms. Its super light construction and superior upwind capability make it a favorite for deflaters. The minimal bridle system makes setup simple and safe, even offshore. Finally, the PLUME’s tiny leading edge can be deflated in the air and re-inflated at sea with a mini pump.

Compact and lightweight, the PLUME is the perfect companion to make the most of the swell.
