F-One Strike CWC V3

Strut your stuff
Light, compact, and easy to use, the F-One STRIKE CWC V3 is the quintessential light-wind weapon. Our patented 3-strut wing has proven to be the ideal concept for a successful large surface wing, and the STRIKE CWC has dominated light-wind wing foiling since its appearance 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 light wind day.

• Patented compact design provides maximum power with impressive maneuverability.
• Smaller wingspan brings efficient pumping and maintains the wingtips away from the surface of the water.
• A small diameter center strut allows these large surfaces to keep a record weight.
• Its perfect balance facilitates the creation of apparent wind, while increasing its high end capacities.
• New HITEX and NANO for increased durability.

F-One Strike CWC V3 Updates
For the CWC V3, we have worked on three areas: the materials, the placement of these materials and
the design to improve performance and durability.

MATERIALS
HiTex: The airframe of the STRIKE CWC V3 is made of HITEX 158g and 178g. This brand-new high tenacity polyester exclusive to F-ONE offers great resistance to elongation and therefore greater durability and performances.
Strut: The central strut is thinner in diameter thanks to the HITEX 158g and its independent valve that allows for a better control of its pressure. Its longitudinal reinforcements help command its shape and
resistance.
Leading Edge: The two central segments of the leading edge on each side of the strut are made of HITEX 178g, while the remaining segments are in 158g. Both materials are perfectly distributed to account for the different tensions, high pressures, and weight distribution in this area.
Since the beginning, we have also kept a thin leading edge diameter at the wingtips, bringing agility,
comfort and glide, but also lightness and less inertia.
Nano Material: Finally, the CWC V3 features our new NANO canopy. This innovative micro ripstop polyester in 55g is used on the entire canopy of the wing. It benefits from a NANO coating and a Plasma treatment process that brings an increased rigidity, resistance to elongation and tears, and durability. With optimized materials and design, this wing remains light and comfortable.

WING DESIGN
Through Sail Engineering, we have conceived a completely new design; everything has been
precisely thought-out to adapt the wing’s shape to the tensions and new materials.
Every panel on the CWC V3 is 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 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 precise load management, the wind range of the STRIKE CWC is extended and the
range of wind strengths where the wing feels perfect is greater than ever before.

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 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, our 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 this wing has been reviewed to ensure durability and to save weight.

HANDLES
To further improve and optimize the rider’s control of the wing, we have rigidified our handles while
keeping 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 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 leads to a more natural position to sheet in.

THE LIGHT WIND REVOLUTION
Light wind riding has never been so effective. Our Compact Wing Concept (CWC) patent allows
adding more surface into a given wingspan without compromising lightness and performances. The
two extra struts 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 with less
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 CWC V3 lets you ride effortlessly,
making you feel like you’re using a 5m2, and with wingtips naturally staying away from the surface of
the water. Finally, the already impressive high range of this wing has been improved so you can absorb the gusts if the wind picks up.

The STRIKE CWC V3 is available in four sizes, 6m, 7m, 8m and 9m. 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.

**9m size dose not have a release date yet, most likely late 2023**
