How to choose your F-ONE foilboard ? 26

Year after year, our foil board range is expanded and refined to meet the needs of every rider and the evolving demands of each discipline, whether it’s wing foil, surf foil, or downwind SUP foil.  Each board embodies our commitment to excellence in both craftsmanship and functionality, ensuring an unparalleled experience on the water.

With a focus on innovation, the R&D team continues to work extensively on each shape and design, aiming to find the perfect balance between volume and size so that each model delivers the most sensations.

Here is our guide to help you choose your F-ONE foil board. It is important to keep in mind that your decision depends on your skill level, your weight, your usual riding conditions, and your chosen program.

Range Presentation

 

With accessibility and performance in mind, we’ve designed boards that overall make take-offs easy, reduce drag for smooth and intuitive sessions, and offer exceptional control and balance across all conditions.

As a rule of thumb for wing foiling, your weight and level determine which volume is best for you. These guidelines can steer you in the right direction:

Rocket Wing Range

Beginner: Weight + 40L. For example, if you weigh 70kg and want to learn the sport, then you may want to go for a ROCKET WING ASC 110L or ROCKET WING bamboo 105L. In general, beginners should look at boards with a volume of 100L and above.

Intermediate: Weight = Volume. Once you have a good handle on your wing and foil, the volume of your board can roughly match your weight. If you’re 60kg, then most of our ROCKET WING board range will fit your needs, depending on your program and what construction you choose. These boards will bring confidence and control, and will allow you to continuously improve.

Advanced: Weight – 15L on. As you improve, reducing the volume of your board gives you more maneuverability, responsiveness, and speed. The sky is the limit.

Rocket Wing Midlength

Beginner: Weight + 20~40 L

For example, if you weigh 80kg and want to learn the sport with a ROCKET WING MIDLENGTH, then you may want to go for the 6’6 board of 115L.

Intermediate: Weight + 10~20 L

Once you have a good handle on your wing and foil, or are already confident in wing foiling, you can go for a lower volume.

Expert: Weight + 0~10 L

If you are an advanced wing foiler and weigh 80 kg, then the 6’0 (82L) might just be the perfect choice.

 

Board Overview & Programs

How to choose your F-ONE foilboard ? 9

 

Our wing foil board range features five models and a variety of constructions, catering to all levels and disciplines: from beginners seeking stability to advanced riders looking to hone in on a specific area, or even those who ride in lighter winds.

Rocket Wing Crossover

The ultimate one-board quiver, the new ROCKET WING CROSSOVER is built to handle it all: freeride, wave, flat water, or downwinders. With its optimized length and narrower shape, it delivers excellent glide, stability, and maneuverability, making it the go-to board for riders who want maximum efficiency and versatility in one package.

Rocket Wing and Rocket Wing Carbon

Available in two different constructions, the ROCKET WING range offers options tailored to different riding styles and skill levels. Its balanced design ensures smooth take-offs, precise control, and a dynamic ride that excels in powered conditions. Smaller sizes in the carbon construction are designed for advanced riders seeking high-performance in freestyle and freeride, providing exceptional responsiveness and control. Larger sizes in the bamboo construction (5’0, 5’3, 5’5) offer enhanced stability and accessibility, making them ideal for intermediate riders or those new to wing foiling. ​

Rocket Wing-S and Rocket Wing-S Carbon

The ROCKET WING-S, also available in bamboo or carbon constructions, is the best choice for wing foiling in the waves. If you like to cruise, surf, or jump, don’t be afraid to go for these boards and their lower volume. Their specific, surf-type shape and the well-balanced, refined volume distribution lead to easy take-offs, less drag in the air, and a lot of control in flight.

Rocket Wing Midlength

The new ROCKET WING MIDLENGTH is your ultimate light-wind weapon. With a refined, slightly longer shape and improved volume distribution, it offers exceptional glide, stability, and control over the foil. This board also shines in carving and in a variety of conditions thanks to its narrow outline and efficient design.

It is the best choice for riders who want to take off fast, especially in light wind conditions, those who want to ride with a smaller wing, or those looking for an agile board in waves or short period downwinders.

Rocket Wing ASC

Finally, the intuitive ROCKET WING ASC is ideal for all stages of wing foil progression, and will provide stability from side to side, impressive responsiveness, and an easy and smooth transition into flight. It is virtually the most durable and accessible foil board of our range.

We now offer two models for all riders who love to shred.

Rocket Surf

The new ROCKET SURF PRONE combines accessibility and versatility, making it an excellent choice for surf foilers of all levels. Its longer shape and increased volume provide effortless paddling and enhanced glide, allowing you to catch waves with ease and maintain speed. It is an ideal board for those starting out in surf foiling as well, and a forgiving and stable option in wing foiling.

Rocket Surf

The ROCKET SURF is the go-to board for riders seeking a more radical surf and high-performance. Compact and ultra-responsive, it excels at dynamic carving and committed tricks like airs and grabs. Its minimal size makes it almost weightless underfoot for unparalleled freedom in the air, perfect for experienced foilers who prioritize precision and agility over paddling ease.

Our downwind SUP foil board range now features three distinct models, essentially segmented by widths, offering tailored options for everyone.

Rocket Sup DW

The ROCKET SUP DW is the most accessible and versatile option in our lineup, perfect for riders of all levels. With a width range from 19.5″ to 22.5″, it delivers exceptional stability and ease during take-offs, making it ideal for those new to downwind SUP foiling, or riders looking for a board that blends user-friendliness, glide and comfort with performance.

Rocket Sup DW Pro

For the more experienced downwind riders, the ROCKET SUP DW PRO offers a narrower range from 17″ to 20″. This model focuses on performance, delivering enhanced speed and glide, and works incredibly in shorter to medium bumps. Its narrower width provides quicker acceleration and responsiveness, which also makes it a great choice for those who like riding on smaller and faster foils. Available in bamboo or carbon constructions, it’s designed for precision and control.

Rocket Sup DW Comp

The ROCKET SUP DW COMP is built for elite downwinders, with an even narrower design ranging from 17″ to 18″ and carbon construction only. This slim profile maximizes paddle speed and glide, offering exceptional performance for long-distance runs and in longer period swells. Providing super quick accelerations, instant release and easy take-offs, this board is perfect for SUPfoiling races, and for daring riders aiming for lengthy downwinders.

Wing, Surf, and DW SUP Foilboards Constructions

Our foil board range features four different constructions: Bamboo Deck, Full Bamboo, HD Foam Carbon Composite, and ASC.

The Bamboo Deck and Full Bamboo constructions use natural properties of bamboo veneers placed between fiberglass layers to create a strong, durable, light shell for the board. The ultra-light Bamboo Deck construction uses only a layer of bamboo on the deck, while the Full Bamboo construction features bamboo on the entire board.

Some boards are also equipped with an extra layer of bamboo (Double Bamboo Deck) in the stance area to make the deck even more resistant to local heel pressures and dings.

Foil boards constructed with the HD Foam Carbon Composite benefit from extra lightness and stiffness.
Those qualities are particularly appreciated when pumping and handling tight maneuvers when downwind SUP foiling, or when throwing big tricks in a wing foiling freestyle session.

Finally, the Air Shield Composite (ASC) boards are constructed around a lightweight injected EPS core molded to our original shape. It is laminated with a composite made of high-strength glass fiber, epoxy resin and a shield made of a high-quality protective top sheet layer. The ASC boards are responsive and extremely durable.

Bamboo, or Carbon ?

Choosing between full bamboo or carbon may seem tricky. The weight difference between the two isn’t huge, as we only used carbon to gain strength. Indeed, it was necessary for us to offer carbon boards as riders are pushing their limits more than ever before. Naturally, the carbon construction is ultimately lighter than the bamboo construction, which could be what some look for in a board.

In terms of disciplines, if you don’t jump high and are more into freeriding and surfing, then the bamboo boards will be more than a great fit. If you know you’re going to jump or do some harder landings, or simply if you’re looking for a board as light as possible, then you need to go for carbon.

ASC vs Bamboo

Thanks to its state-of-the-art ASC construction, the ROCKET WING ASC board is as durable as it gets but is a bit heavier than a standard ROCKET WING. This is due to the transparent top sheet added on our ASC boards, which brings strength and makes them incredibly resistant to dings and scratches.

Our kite foil board range includes four boards.

Pocket

The POCKET is a versatile, light, and easy-to-handle board with great carving potential and a bulletproof construction.

Pocket Carbon

Lightweight and tough, the POCKET CARBON is stiffer thanks to its carbon construction, and is perfect for freeride and freestyle sessions.

Pocket Carbon Custom

The POCKET CARBON CUSTOM benefits from a bit more volume than its regular carbon counterpart. This board is incredibly responsive, light, rigid, and made for carving and freestyle. The added volume also brings more buoyancy, which makes it an ideal board for freshwater sessions as well.

Pro Race Carbon

Finally, the PRO RACE CARBON is our competition-shape board dedicated to kite foil racing.

Kite foilboards Constructions

We have four different constructions on our kite foil boards: SLIM Tech, SLIM Tech Carbon, SLIM Tech Carbon Custom, and the HD Foam Carbon Composite.

The SLIM Tech process uses a high-strength PU foam core material, a glass fiber layup and protective top / bottom sheet layers for a bulletproof construction.

The SLIM Tech Carbon uses a CNC-shaped PVC foam core combined with a carbon layup.

The SLIM Tech Carbon Custom is the latest addition to this range and comes from our MAGNET CARBON kite boards. This process uses a CNC-shaped PVC foam core wrapped entirely by a carbon fiber skin. All the skin layers are then carefully laid and vacuum bagged for maximum fiber efficiency and impressive stiffness.

 

⚠ DRAFT - HTCY FOILBOARD ⚠ 15

 

The HD Foam Carbon Composite uses a CNC-shaped EPS foam core and a sandwich layup (high-density foam + glass and carbon fiber). It allows the board to be lightweight and strong, as well as tougher to heel pressures and dings.
