Foils to Start Foiling

Foil Foils F One
Foil Foils F One

We develop this foils guide to help you choose your F-ONE foil according to your level and chosen program. Always keep in mind that your ideal setup will vary depending on your skill level, your weight, and the conditions where you will ride most often.

In this section we advise Foils to everyone who’s looking to Start Foiling.

What constitutes one hydrofoil?

Basically you can consider one hydrofoil in 2 parts:

The Plane –  The set of Front Wing + Tail Monobloc (begginner models have Fuselage + Stabilizer separated, instead of a Monobloc Tail)

The Mast Pack – The set with Mast Top Plate + Mast (and Titan Mast Foot for Carbon Planes)

In this Foils Guide first we’ll focus on the choice of the Planes and then we’ll take a look at different Mast options.

Foils to start Foiling – AR Aspect Ratio

The Aspect Ratio (AR) is the key to understand how we constructed our range of foils. We’ll start by giving you the concept, as it should be your first guide when you are choosing the Front Wing to start foiling.

The AR is the ratio between surface area and wingspan of the Front Wing.Foil foils F One Aspect Ratio

If you are a beginner you should look for a foil with low to mid AR.

In general, foils with a low- to mid- AR will be a bit thicker and rounder.

They are more stable, turn and pivot well, have plenty of lift, and will help you take-off easily at low speeds or in low wind conditions.

The foils with a high AR will be thinner and longer, and thus produce less induced drag.

They are highly efficient and will provide a lot of glide and speed.

The higher the AR, the better the foil performs, but you will need to be an experienced rider to take the advantage.

It will requires more minimum speed to start planing and develop lift.

The AR also influences the turning radius of each foil.

With equal areas, a higher AR makes wider turns.

you can start choosing your foil to by the aspect ratio of your Front Wing.

We have classified 2022 range in four levels of AR in order to define a program for each foil:

Foil foils F One Aspect ratio

An AR of 5 is the most accessible and is best recommended to learn how to foil.

The most versatile and generally best performing overall is the AR 6.0. Its medium span guarantees maneuverability for surfing and accessible pumping.

When you switch to an AR of 7.0, you increase your maximum speed and will glide further, but the extra span penalizes the maneuverability.

The AR of 9.0 and above is mostly reserved for experienced riders. It offers incredible glide, but you have to be a very efficient rider to maintain sufficient speed all the time, so that the foil keeps flying. It brings good maneuverability, usually under 1000cm².

As we started designing and trying out high aspect ratio foils, we discovered they opened new programs and new possibilities.

Best options to start foiling

Our range of foils for wing and surf foiling has  diferent types of Planes, based on AR.Plane F-One GRAVITY FCT 1800

Plane F-One GRAVITY FCT 1800The range starts with the GRAVITY and its AR of 5.0.

It is the foil you should have if you want to learn from zero.

Accessible and straightforward, the GRAVITY foils have great lift and stability.

Plane Phantom FCT

If you already have some experience with a foil and are looking for a bit more performance and glide, the versatile and must-have PHANTOM foil (AR 6.0) is for you.

It is a fantastic foil that does everything well.

Its medium span guarantees performance, maneuverability for surfing and efficient pumping.

Everybody should have a PHANTOM foil in their quiver.Foil Phantom S Carbon PlaneAs you continue improving and want to change up your ride, a foil with a high AR will bring more speed, great carving capabilities, and more acceleration.

The PHANTOM S, with an AR of 6.5 and surface areas below 1000cm², have a thinner profile than the regular PHANTOM to give you more speed and maneuverability.

If you’re a surfer, then the handling, maneuverability, and carving abilities of this foil are made for you.

Both PHANTOM and PHANTOM-S are also perfect for freestyle wing sessions.

Kite Foils to Start Foiling

For kite, F-One developed a specific foil to start foiling in a very economic and friendly way, the IC6.

The IC6 950 V.3 rounds up the range with its 4.4 AR and is intuitive, predictable, and very user-friendly.

It’s the ideal foil to start and develop your skills.

With it’s aluminium fuselage and Injected Carbon construcion, IC6 950 is a great low budget choice for your first set up.

Stabilizers

The second aspect you should consider when choosing your Plane  is the Stabilizers

Stabilizers developments are becoming very important in your foil setup, and we truly believe the future lies in its  innovation.

The stab undoubtedly influences the behavior of the entire foil.

Simply changing it while keeping the same front wing can boost your ride and bring about completely different sensations and performances, as if you were on an entirely different setup.

Foils Stabilizers

For example, beginners in wing foil will want to look at the C275 or R275 stabs (AR 5.3), which will be a bit slower but more stable, before moving on to the C250 range and its 6.1 AR.

Some of our stabs also have generous winglets, like the IC6 300 for kite foiling, which offers even more stability on the yaw axis and fantastic control.

A rider can switch out and try out different stabs to gain performance, speed, glide, turn radius or stability, depending on the conditions or chosen program.

Obviously, the stab’s choice needs to stay coherent with the rider’s level and intentions, as not all will match with all front wings.

Fuselages

Just like a bigger or smaller stab will influence your ride, so will a shorter or longer fuselage.

Foil F One Fuselages

Changing the size of your fuselage will help as you go from one front wing to the next.

For example, you will lose a bit in maneuverability going from a PHANTOM to a SEVEN SEAS.

However, you can gain some of it back by simply picking a shorter fuselage like our Carbon Fuselage XXXS.

Finally, the length of your fuselage also influences the pace of pumping as well.

A shorter fuselage will require a bit more effort and a faster pace in pumping to get up and start flying.

Foil Masts

The mast connects the plane (front wing, fuselage, stab) to the board.

Foil F One Masts

It will  be easier to learn wing foil or kite foil on a shorter mast.

The falls will be gentler, and you will feel more stable as you learn to get up and stay up.

A shorter mast is also ideal for sessions in shallow waters.

A long mast offers more leverage and is good for choppy conditions.

With a higher mast, you have more room to angle the foil and make aggressive turns in the waves without the foil breaching.

FOIL CONSTRUCTION & TECHNOLOGIES

We offer three types of constructions on our foils: Carbon (pre-preg and High Modulus), FCT, and Injected Carbon.

Foil Constructions F One

All our carbon hydrofoils are made from pre-preg, which makes them incredibly strong and stiff.

Some of our foils, like the EAGLE or the ESCAPE, have an added layup of High Modulus Carbon fiber that leads to even more rigidity in both bending and torsion while keeping enough comfort for any kind of practice.

Foil F One construction

Our GRAVITY and PHANTOM foils are available in both carbon and FCT (Foil Compression Technology).

FCT foils are built in fiberglass around a high-density foam core.

The wing is then covered by a thin and strong shield skin.

This F-ONE innovation offers impressive mechanical properties, making it particularly suited for foils subjected to high stresses and bending loads.

Foil F One construction

As you are riding, the difference between a carbon and FCT foil is barely noticeable.

Both have the same shape and program.

FCT foils do have a bit more flex, but the performance potential on the water is very much the same.

The IC6 950 V.3 is built with the Injected Carbon Technology, consisting of an injected polymer reinforced with carbon fibers.

This technology makes these foils a lot more resistant and durable.
