Why Choose the CWC?

By media on Jul 13, 2022 03:08 pm

Lightweight, stable, and easy to use, the STRIKE CWC is a game changer for your light wind days. Our patented Compact Wing Concept with three struts offers the most compact shape on the market for the bigger sizes and allows adding more surface into a given wingspan without compromising lightness and performance. Light wind riding has never been so effective.

The STRIKE CWC is available in three sizes:

6.0m² — 10 > 22 knts

7.0m² — 8 > 20 knts

8.0m² — 6 > 15 knts

The sensations

The STRIKE CWC’s unique geometry brings great power with ease-of-use, and therefore a light feel with less wingspan. The wing is more maneuverable and easier to flip around when on the water. Its compactness allows for a very comfortable ride with big wing sizes, even if you’re of short height as this wing does not touch the water. 

This wing cuts through the air very efficiently. Its compact shape works to your advantage, as does the lightweight feel in your hands. The light but stiff material used makes pumping to take-off very easy and leads to an especially smooth power generation. Finally, the canopy always remains incredibly stable, so the wing keeps its shape in the wind.

The design & technology

The pending patent Compact Wing Concept is a F-ONE innovation. The two extra struts increase the wing’s surface without increasing the leading edge’s length and diameter. Once we were able to fit a 6m² into a short 5m² leading edge, we were then able to build a 7m² and 8m² with the same concept. The control of the leading edge’s length offers more rigidity in the canopy and the trailing edge is completely controlled, adding performance.

Because touching the water while riding is an issue with the bigger sizes, we have also worked on the tips' profile. They naturally stay away from the water’s surface. If they do hit the water, their design allows them to glide over and not stop you as it previously would.

Why should you choose our STRIKE CWC?

1. It is a game changer for light wind days.

2. It is compact, lightweight, and user-friendly for all body types.

3. Its groundbreaking three-strut design brings unmatched stability.

4. Pumping and power generation are smooth and efficient.

The Best Bag for Your Next Rugged Adventure

By media on Jul 13, 2022 08:26 am

The Rugged luggage line is built for any situation, whether you need to run through an airport or protect your essentials on a boat trip.

Built in two sizes, the Rugged Duffel is available in 30L and 45L options.

Rugged Duffel 30L

The Rugged 30L is not only ultra-sturdy thanks to its coated nylon material, but it is also 100% waterproof. We designed it to be comfortable even on long walks thanks to its mesh straps and waist belt.

Specs: Rugged 30L - 28.7(20.9 rolled) x 12.2 x 7.5in

Rugged Duffel 45L

The Rugged 45L is made to travel far. Unlike regular wheeled luggage, it works on rough terrain or in the rain, and allows you to comfortably carry all your possessions on your back for a long time as well.

Specs: Rugged 45L - 25.6 x 11.8 x 9.45in

Product Technologies

100% waterproof

The coated nylon material is completely waterproof and will protect your possessions from splashes or rain, while being durable enough for many years on the road.

100% waterproof zippers

In addition to the material itself, we opted for waterproof zippers. The bag can therefore be totally immersed without water entering it.

Comfort

We designed this bag with a comfortable mesh waist belt and backpack straps. The Rugged thus allows you to walk for a long time without feeling any discomfort.

Storage (30L)

The Rugged features an internal laptop sleeve and an external waterproof pocket.

Removable backpack straps (45L)

When you slide the straps under the EVA back panel, they are hidden and therefore do not get caught anywhere when the bag is dropped off on the airport’s baggage carousel.

Retractable internal pocket (45L)

This pocket allows you to separate the dirty or wet gear (laundry, shoes) from other possessions.
