Wing F-One STRIKE CWC V3

Wing F-One STRIKE CWC V3

The F-One STRIKE CWC V3, is a complete game changer for your light wind days.

Light, compact, and easy to use, the STRIKE CWC V3 is the quintessential light-wind weapon.

F-One patented 3-strut wing has proven to be the ideal concept for an optimal large surface wing, and since its appearance the STRIKE CWC has dominated light-wind wing foiling  on the market.

Featuring a new and revolutionary design as well as F-ONE’s latest technologies and materials, this CWC V3 will let you show off your wing foiling skills in full confidence on any lightwind day.

Main Charactristics fo this new and improved wing are:

Patented compact design that will provide maximum power, still with impressive maneuverability.

A smaller wing span will bring efficient pumping and will maintain the wingtips away from the surface of the water.

The small diameter center strut allows the large surfaces to keep a record weight.

This CWC has a perfect balance that helps the creation of apparent wind, and at the same time increases its high end capacities.

The new HITEX and NANO tissues and materials will increase wing durability.

For this Strike CWC V3, we have worked on three areas:

The Wing Design in order to improve performance and durability,

Materials,

Eficient placement of these materials .

Strike CWC Wing Design

Through F-One R&D Sail Engineering, we have conceived a completely new design from the previous Strike;

Everything has been precisely thought-out to adapt the CWC wing’s shape to the tensions and new materials.

Every panel on the Strike CWC V3 is precisely positioned to carry a specific and precise load.

The front of the wing combines horizontal panels separated by a vertical seam from the innovative radial center panels, which are mapped to accurately follow every load trajectory.

The trailing edge is controlled by a vertical panel.

Small radial cuts are also implemented on the wingtips and on the back of the strut to spread tensions.

Aligning the fibre exactly along the load paths means that stretch can be controlled to a never-before-seen level on a wing.

Thanks to this very precise load management,  the wind range of the STRIKE CWC is extended and the range of wind strengths where the wing feels perfect is bigger than ever before.

With F-One staggered seams, the fabric and its seams work better to keep a smooth and efficient profile and the flying shape of the wing never deforms under load.

The control of the profile is ideal and its stability is excellent, allowing everyone to ride fully balanced on both arms and in total comfort.

The new trailing edge tensions and radial cuts have brought incredible performance and control.

Located on the back of the strut, F-One innovative Load Diffuser  further helps maintaining the profile sleek and efficient, leading to the ultimate stability, performances, and longevity.

This Load Difuser is made of overlapping panels of hard Mylar and Dacron

Every one of these reinforcements on the Stike CWC has been reviewed to ensure durability and to save weight.

Strike CWC V3 Materials

The airframe of the STRIKE CWCV3 is made of the new HITEX 158g and 178g.

This brand-new high tenacity polyester is exclusive to F-ONE, and offers great resistance to elongation and therefore greater durability and performances.

The central strut is thinner in diameter thanks to the HITEX 158g and it has an independent valve that allows for a perfect control of its pressure.

Its longitudinal reinforcements help to control its shape and resistance.

The two main central segments of the leading edge on each side of the strut are made of HITEX 178g, while the remaining segment sare in Hitex 158g.

Both of these materials are perfectly distributed to deal with the different tensions, high pressures, and weight distribution in this area.

We have also kept a thin leading edge diameter at the wingtips, bringing agility, comfort and glide, but also lightness and less inertia.

Finally, the Strike CWC V3 features our brand new NANO canopy.

This innovative micro ripstop polyester in 55g is used on the entire canopy of the wing.

The Strike CWC also benefits from a NANO coating and a Plasma treatment process that brings an increased rigidity, more resistance to elongation and tears, and longer durability.

With this optimized materials and design, the CWC remains light and comfortable even in bigger sizes.

CWC New Handles

To further improve and optimize the rider’s control of the wing, we have rigidified our handles, compared to the Stike V2.

We keep our original, lighter construction that doesn’t include any hard parts that could damage your wing, ding your board, or hit yourself.

Our grippy, ergonomic and comfortable handles allow for some flexibility so your wrist is always in line with your arm.

This also gave us the opportunity to design the Strike CWC strut just as we liked.

The front of it goes down straight away on your front hand before going up into the wing’s profile near your back hand.

This new handle leads to a more natural position to sheet in and a more confortable ride.

The light wind revolution

With the Strike CWC V3 light wind riding has never been so effective.

Our Compact Wing Concept (CWC) patent allows adding more surface into a given wingspan without compromising the lightness or the performances.

The two extra struts on both sides increase the wing’s surface without increasing the leading edge’s length and diameter.

This specific geometry brings great power with ease of use and therefore a light feel without increasing the wingspan.

The compact outline makes it easy to obtain an incredible start when planing and pumping.

Highly maneuverable and easy to flip around when on the water, the Strike CWC V3 lets you ride effortlessly in light winds, making you feel like you’re using a 5m² wing.

The wingtips naturally stay away from the surface of the water, allowing you to maintain control in all situations.

Finally, the already impressive high range of our previous Strike CWC has been improved so you can absorb the gusts if the wind picks up.

The STRIKE CWC V3 is available in four sizes, ranging from 6 to 9m².

With this design perfectly adapted to bigger surfaces, we have added the 9m² to the range this year. This size will allow riders of a bigger stature to make the most out of their light wind sessions.

Strut your stuff with the Wing F-One Strike CWC V3, a complete game changer for your light wind days.
