ALU MAST
The F-ONE aluminium mast can be used for all disciplines, kite, surf, stand up paddle, wing foil and windsurf. The profile is extruded with precision from 6063 aluminium block.
A Gravity foil is an intuitive foil to use. It generates lift at low (and even very low) speed but does it a smooth way to you can keep your balanced easily. Originally designed for surfing, the wings are designed to be easy to roll and turn which also makes them ideal to cruise and carve with a kite.
The 1200 size is also considered to be a fantastic kitefoil wing. With a large area and a generous profile thickness, the Gravity 1200 gets you flying before you can even notice it. With total control over your speed, the Gravity is not only ideal to learn kitefoiling but it’s also great to send some sharp turns with full confidence. Choose a small kite and enjoy the secure lift and total maneuverability of the Gravity 1200 whether on flat water or in the waves.
Built using the Monobloc construction with pre-preg carbon, the foils are both very light and really strong. This set-up offers better load transmission and better stiffness throughout the different parts for maximum control. The Titan connection allows to plug both an aluminium or carbon mast and the fuselage is split in two parts to facilitate transportation.
The Gravity 1800 is recommended with the C300 Surf stab. This stabilizer offers easy take-off and good directional stability for a secure feel which is perfect when riding. The constant curve arch makes it easier to roll the foil and engage in the turns at any speed, it will serve good when carving.

Tech specs
PRE-PREG
With Pre-preg fabrics, the carbon fiber is directly impregnated with epoxy resin by its manufacturer; this guarantees a perfect ratio between epoxy and carbon, and represents the highest quality process.
Quality control is much better and so is the working environment for the people building our foils. Pre-Preg fabrics offer the lightest weight with the best mechanical properties of carbon fiber.
MONOBLOC
Having a stiff and solid assembly between all the parts of the foil, is key to making it perform at its best as well as easy to handle.
The connection of the front wing with the fuselage is highly stressed and loaded, it is one of the critical area of the assembly in terms of structures. The MONOBLOC wings are molded together with the fuselage in one shot, thereby removing the connection and the chances for unwanted and parasitic movements.The structural fibers of the fuselage are spread into the wing to achieve the most natural, sound and light connection.
It is also incredibly stiff and provides absolute control at all times, with the foil responding perfectly to all of the riders input.
When the overall dimensions are too large for convenient transportation, a connection is set into the fuselage, behind the mast where the loads are smaller.
TITAN CONNECTION
The TITAN connection enables a very stiff and direct connection between two parts, locking efficiently any movement in all directions. Its format is compact which is hydrodynamically friendly and very easy to use, assemble and disassemble.
