BREEZE V.4 2

This kite is for anyone wanting a lightweight setup that offers amazing handling with great performance abilities in the low-end. With our size range from 7m² to 17m², it is the perfect kite for light-wind freeriding and foiling in any conditions. Thanks to its stability and lightness, the BREEZE V4 can also perform in low-wind wave riding.

Staggered Seams were implemented on both the leading and trailing edges to make the entire profile amazingly sleek. The seam’s tension line is thus broken, which means the entire profile of the canopy is leveled when the kite is fully powered. We kept the fabric’s orientation towards tension as well.

The inflatable structure of the BREEZE V4 is made of HITEX 158g. This brand-new high tenacity polyester offers great resistance to elongation and therefore greater durability and performances.

This kite also features our new NANO canopy 55g. This innovative micro ripstop polyester is used on the entire canopy. It benefits from a NANO coating and a Plasma treatment process that brings an increased rigidity, resistance to elongation and tears, and durability.

These new fabrics and their placement on the kite allow a better control of the profile for a great stability and balance, but also extend its life.

The strut’ reinforcement is now super smooth as well thanks to the Kevlar strip on the top. This improves the kite’s steering and maneuverability, reduces the aerodynamic disturbances, and decreases the overall weight of the kite once wet.

In the air, the BREEZE V4 is so intuitive to fly that you can forget about the kite and concentrate on your ride. This unique characteristic makes it perfect for beginners and advanced riders alike.

The handling has been finely tuned across the entire size range. The larger sizes are super responsive, making them perfect for any maneuvers. The smaller ones are optimized to handle stronger winds with total speed control and great stability while foiling. Relaunch, and even reverse launch, is instinctive and as easy as ever, especially in very low winds.

The kite has been designed to work with a low V setup. If you want a lightweight, one-strut kite that can put a smile on your face in eight knots, the decision is easy. Enjoy thousands of possibilities with the BREEZE V4!

DELTA C-SHAPE

DELTA C-SHAPE technology design offers unmatched stability and steering response when fully de-powered, with the possibility of connecting the front lines higher on the leading edge of the kite.

DELTA C-SHAPE is a patented design used by F-ONE on all kites for the past 15 years.

This shape was the result of a design research towards maximum optimization of the aerodynamic performances of the kite and of its depower. It gives the possibility to fit more canopy area in the middle sections to create more projected area while the C Shape makes sure the kite remains responsive and fluid.
REACTOR VALVE

The reactor inflation valve offers a high flow connection that twist locks the pump hose to the kite for an easy and super-fast inflation and deflation at the push of a button.

It provides a high air flow rate between the struts and leading edge.
AUTO RELAUNCH

F-ONE’s auto relaunch is quick and easy and releases the kite from the water with the perfect amount of traction.

Once the kite is sitting with the leading edge flat on the water, its C-Shape associated with the Delta Pivot allows the kite to automatically roll over onto one wing tip.

The kite will then glide towards the edge of the window, ready for quick and easy water relaunch.
STAGGERED SEAMS

This brand-new F-ONE’s design innovation offers an amazingly sleeked profile for more efficiency and sharper performances.

Original staggered seams have been implemented on critical parts of the kites. The seam’s tension line is broken offering a perfectly leveled canopy profile when the kite is fully powered.

The fabric is orientated towards tension. The perfectly even canopy profile brings a sensational stability without feeling disturbances in the bar.
NANO

This micro ripstop polyester 55g is used on the canopies of our SWING V3, CWC V2, BREEZE V4 and ONE V2. Wings and kites are often left in the wind to flap. They are also very often wet, salty and sandy; all factors that weaken them. The canopy must therefore be very durable to keep its rigidity over time and to ensure the same performance level between the day of purchase and the end of its life. It benefits from a NANO coating and a Plasma treatment process that brings an increased rigidity, resistance to elongation and tears, and durability. Used by our bluesign-certified factory, Plasma is an eco-friendly technology that uses less chemicals in the finishing process while guaranteeing the same performances and stability.
HITEX

To meet the specific needs of the development of wings and kites, and to offer a high-performance and durable product without using inaccessible materials, F-ONE has developed HITEX, a new high tenacity polyester. Available in 158g, and exclusively for F-ONE in 178g, this new material is incredibly resistant to elongation and increases the durability of wings and kites.

HITEX is an innovative, high tenacity polyester fiber with an enhanced high-quality weaving and coating that increases the fabrics’ resistance. The 178g is a new weight and perfectly matches the needs of the center strut and center of its leading edge. The lighter 158g is used in the leading edge tips.

Used throughout the inflatable structure of the wings and kites and designed to handle the high pressures when inflating, HITEX offers performance and resistance. Thanks to extensive Sail Engineering work, the R&D team has placed each weight of HITEX in different areas allowing absolute control of the shape session after session.

The High Tenacity Polyester: HITEX.

After working with our fabric manufacturer partners for a long time, we decided to use High Tenacity Polyester, a technical material offering a high resistance to elongation and superior durability.

The HITEX is coated with PLASMA, an innovation exclusive to our supplier, which guarantees increased durability of the fabric. Coupled with high tenacity polyester fibres, it makes HITEX the most durable material on the market.
SAIL ENGINEERING

Sail engineering is the science of controlling our design and its behavior
while flying. These features have been created with one goal in mind:
Mastering the kite’s loads to maintain the desired shape for the longest
time.

1 – WARP TENSION LINE

Woven fabrics feature a longitudinal 0° yarn (Warp) and a transversal 90° yarn (Weft). Therefore, a fabric has great elongation resistance and strength capacities if you apply tension at 0° or 90° along the yarns. But it will deform and stretch when tension is applied at, let’s say, 45°.

2 – LOAD CONTROL PANELING

When engineering the load control paneling, we make sure that fabrics panels are warp/weft oriented, meaning that the load path runs through the yarns. Fabric and seams are then in the best position to receive tensions and maintain the original kite shape.

3 – STAGGERED SEAMS

Most of the kite’s back lines tension is distributed through the trailing-edge panels and seams. As seams are significantly stiffer than the fabric they join, they tend to strain under loads and therefore deform the profile. The staggered seams break that line of tension by balancing the stiffness between seams and cloth, which helps distribute the load over a wider area and maintain the original shape even under high loads.

4 – FABRIC WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

Our sails feature four different cloth weights, from 52 up to 155gr/m². Sail engineering allows us to control our shape and drive load tensions without using heavy fabrics or bulky designs, therefore we can reduce fabric’s weight and use. It results in a lighter, optimized kite.
