Wing F-One SWING V3

Wing F-One SWING V3

The Wing F-One Swing V3 is a wing designed for wingfoil wave riding and downwind sailing.

It is known for its stability, lightness, maneuverability, and control. The wing has a reduced wingspan for better handling in maneuvers and surfs, and it is made with HITEX 158g and 178g materials for increased durability.

Here are some of the features of the F-One Swing V3:

Reduced wingspan for better handling
HITEX 158g and 178g materials for increased durability
Compact design that is easy to pack and transport
Stable and easy to control in all wind conditions
Perfect for wave riding and downwind sailing
The F-One Swing V3 is a great choice for riders of all levels who are looking for a versatile and durable wing foil. It is especially well-suited for wave riding, but it can also be used for downwind sailing, freeriding, and cruising.

Available in: 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5 m²

For this Wing F-One Swing  V3, we have worked on its lightweight feel and balance to allow us to orient its program towards surfing and downwind.

We mainly have put our focus on three different areas: the materials, the placement of these materials and the design to improve your control andthe durability of the wing.

MATERIALS

The airframe of this F-One Wing is made of HITEX 158g and 178g. This brand-new high tenacity polyester  offers great resistance to elongation and therefore greater durability and performances.

Central strut is thinner in diameter thanks to the HITEX 158g and its independent valve allows for a perfect control of its pressure. It has longitudinal reinforcements that will help to control its shape and resistance.

The three central segments of the leading edge on each side of the strut are all made of HITEX 178g.

Remaining segments are in 158g and both materials are perfectly distributed to account for 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, while at the same time lightness and less inertia.

This SWING also features our new NANO canopy. This innovative micro ripstop polyester in 55g is used on the entire canopy of the wing, except on the trailing edge.

It benefits from a NANO coating and a Plasma treatment process that brings an increased rigidity, resistance to elongation and tears, and durability.

Finally, the trailing edge of the SWING V3 is made of our new HT80, a woven double ripstop high tenacity polyester.

This material will bring significantly increased tear resistance and strength to the area, especially in the waves when flagging the wing.

WING DESIGN

F-One Sail Engineering, allowed us to conceive a completely new design for this new swing V3.

Every detail in this wing has been precisely thought-out to adapt the wing’s shape to the tensions and new materials.

All the panels on the SWING V3 are precisely laid to carry a specific load.

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

The trailing edge is controlled by a vertical panel in 80g.

Small radial cuts are also implemented on the wingtips of the Swing V3 and on the back of the strut to spread tensions.

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

With our 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, especially in the high end, where we’ve achieved superb stability to ride fully balanced on both arms and in total comfort.

The new trailing edge tensions and radial cuts will deliver incredible performance and control.

Located on the back of the strut, the innovative Load Diffuser made of overlapping panels of hard Mylar and Dacron further helps maintaining the profile sleek and efficient, leading to the ultimate stability, performances, and longevity.

Every reinforcement on the Swing V3 has been reviewed to ensure durability and to save weight.

HANDLES

To further improve and optimize the rider’s control of the Swing, F-One have rigidified the handles, while keeping the original, lighter construction.

This means that the Swing doesn’t include any hard parts that could damage your wing, ding your board, or hit yourself.

These handles are grippy, ergonomic and comfortable, and will allow you some flexibility so your wrist is always in line with your arm.

This also gave us the opportunity to design the strut of the Swing 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, leading to a more natural position to sheet in.

EXCEL IN THE WAVES

The SWING V3 is virtually a brand-new wing and an improvement of the V2 in all areas.

With optimized materials and design, this Swing is more stable, light, comfortable and balanced, all while maintaining a confortable smoothness in its traction.

The SWING V3 has a reduced wingspan to make it easy to maneuver in the waves.

Any change of direction is done with great smoot.

This characteristic will allow you to concentrate on the trajectories, the waves, and controlling your foil without needing to check if the wingtips are touching the water.

The Swing holds perfectly in the air in a neutral position when turning in the waves and flies itself flawlessly, leaving you free to use the power of the wave with little resistance.

Surfing or downwinding will bring you sheer joy.

Its compactness together with a more powerful profile,  give you an excellent planing start with an easy pumping.

This will allow every rider, regardless of their level, to use a smaller surface area with even more maneuverability.

Its traction will also allow you to go for a smaller board than usual, so that you can get more freedom in your surfing.

The SWING V3 will easily pick up the speed you need with a good angle, before being easily forgotten in freefly.

Since it generates power immediately,  crucial when kicking out of a wave or waterstarting, allows the rider to safely get to the next set.

Finally, this Swing is  perfect for attempting and succeeding in all maneuvers such as jibes and turns, 360, etc.

Overall, wing foiling with a SWING V3 is exceptionally intuitive.

Beginners and experienced riders will enjoy its gentle feel and ease-of-use.

Thanks to its wide wind range, riding in both the high and low end has never been so fun, and drawing dreamy lines has never been so easy.

Available in: 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5 m²

If you are looking for a versatile and durable wing foil that is perfect for wave riding and downwind sailing, then the F-One Swing V3 is a great option.
