All our innovations are tested on the flagshipboard of our twin tip range, the Trax. For 2012,

we have focused all our R&D attention on the 7th generation Trax. Then we pushed one or

more of these innovations to each of the other boards of the range according to their specifications.

 

For 2012 the Acid and the SK8 benefits from new shapes inspired directly from the research and

innovations made on the Trax.

                           

Wood Core : 

The wood forms the heart of your board and gives it most of its
mechanical properties: strength, flex and resilience (ability to
return to its original shape). Each year, in order to master these
properties, we seek to optimize its distribution, particularly in
terms of thickness.
Direct Drive : 

The Direct Drive technology is present on our boards since 2001,
and refers to a board with minimal thickness, a 100% wood core
and a 100% fiberglass envelope. These interlocking elements
meet the F-One standards for a kite board and provide maximum
durability. The Direct Drive translate into a precise board,
quick and active as it erases the flaws of the water surface,
collecting its energy and giving it back for the best performance.
The feeling of riding a rock solid board always in contact with
the water without suffering from it is even greater.
Dynamic Flex : 

Flexibility and impact absorption are synonymous with comfort;
however comfort does not mean sacrificing control and perfor
mance. It is difficult to reach this compromise, and this is the
main reason behind the development of the Dynamic Flex, which
can absorb the chop, without compromising the control and
edging.
TC ou TCC : 

The Twist Control, or Twist Carbon Control on certain models,
allows to manage the board’s twist and transversal reactivity.
Depending on the model, this cross-shaped structure is either
an add-on or cnc-machined directly into the mass of the wood
core. Using it is also a guarantee of a better control whatever the
water conditions. TC & TCC can also optimize the ratio weight/
rigidity and weight/reactivity.
