Available now in North America, the Phantom 840 is intended for an elite looking for high speed and extreme maneuverability. Like the other Phantom foils in the range, it is very versatile and can be used wingfoiling in winds above 20 knots and foil surfing in 1m+ waves.
"The 840 Phantom is the most versatile foil for me; I can surf foil good waves and tow in, but it’s also my top choice for wingfoiling. It gives me big pop to land tricks on flat water! For sure, it's the most maneuverable foil in the F-ONE line"
-- Titouan Galea, F-ONE team rider
Using a refined design to achieve higher finesse, the Phantom foils glide faster and for longer. Connecting waves whether during surfing or down winding thereby becomes much easier and more fun. Yet, connecting waves isn’t much fun if you can’t turn, and this is why carving is also part of the DNA of the Phantom foils. By working on the lift distribution, arch shape and other details we achieved a high-aspect, performance foil that can carve smooth curves on the waves and swells.
Built using the Monobloc construction with pre-preg carbon, the foils are both very light and really strong. This set-up offers better load transmission and better stiffness throughout the different parts for maximum control. The Titan connection allows to plug both an aluminum or carbon mast, and the fuselage is split in two parts to facilitate transportation.
Recommended Stab: Stab C250 Surf
The surface and shape of the Stab C250 have been thought to best deploy the power and ability of the Phantom Carbon 840. Sharp and precise, it allows you to gain speed. Connecting waves has never been easier.
Built in Pre-Preg HM Carbon and designed to be securely mounted on F-ONE fuselages, its profile and angle of incidence were tuned to achieve a very intuitive balance.
Surface: 250 cm² Span: 39 mm Aspect Ratio: 6.1 Weight: 0.18 kg
Recommended Fuselage: XX-Short
The Fuselage Tail Carbon are an essential complement to the F-ONE Monobloc carbon wings. It connects with the front wing behind the TITAN mast slot in an area where the loads are reduced. Still, the shape of the connection is inspired from the TITAN design and offers a very robust and stiff assembly. At the back, the cradle for the stabilizer is designed with the right angle to make the front wing fly with ease and efficiency.
Last week the second step of the GWA wingfoil world cup took place in Dakhla on the Moroccan coast. All F-ONE riders were eager to compete and challenge themselves against the world's finest wingfoilers.

Booking a last-minute flight to a warm destination is not as simple as it used to be… But it’s no problem for Nate Tyler and Brendon Gibbens, as they both love their home turf. Nate Tyler grew up in California and even though he travels a lot, he resonates most with home. He is joined by his friend Brendon Gibbens: born in South Africa, Brendon made Cali his home. Having fun surfing is what these two are all about. They rediscover their homeland in the best possible way: surfing.
It’s in the middle of California, between LA and SF, where Nate lives, far away from Californian clichés. He lives in a small house close to nature. Even though he travels a lot, he still resonates most with home or the place that feels like home. He could be so happy just surfing crazy slabs in the middle of nowhere. For him, surfing makes everything more beautiful.
Nate is a complete artist following his own path: he creates both with his hand, and with a board under his feet.
STAY REAL.

“The ocean and surfing are very important in my everyday lifestyle."
Can you tell us a bit more about your passion for surfing?
Ever since I was a kid my father would take me surfing and that was how we connected. That connection with him turned into a passion for the ocean, that led to a lifelong connection with the ocean. The ocean and surfing are very important in my everyday lifestyle.
You just won the lottery, what would you do first?
Take my family on a trip to anywhere they want to go! I’d try not to be ostentatious.
Next destination?
Australia as soon as I can!
“I have been able to travel the world and it all came from surfing.”
What’s the most amazing thing you’ve experienced?
I am very fortunate and I have been able to experience many amazing things but I would say the fact that I have been able to travel the world and it all came from surfing.
What are you doing during a day without waves?
In my days without waves I am working in my shop creating metal sculptures.
Improved for 2022, the LINX Bar is our control system, a dual adjustable length bar that comes in two sizes (38/45cm and 45/52cm). It perfectly blends lower weight and simplicity with excellent comfort and function.
DEPOWER SHEATH The lifeline is now placed into a new rectangular depower sheath for more durability. This new feature prevents the centerline from rubbing against the aluminum tube and will not rub against the user’s fingers.
LIFELINE SWIVEL The new minimalist below the bar lifeline swivel is now made of a plastic stud and a stainless steel ring on which you hang the leash. It rotates easily and automatically untwists your lifeline.
STAINLESS STEEL CLEAT The above the bar stainless steel cleat to adjust the power has been updated for more simplicity and the depower system is now thinner and therefore more precise.
4 LINES HUB Allows the Life Line to be connected to a single front line.
V SPLITTER New aluminium V Splitter for longer lasting lines.
