The PLUME marks the beginning of a new discipline, K-WING, an entirely new way of riding upwind to take full advantage of the swell. The first model created specifically for this sport, it combines a minimalistic design with optimized lightness, exceptional stability and pure glide, offering an unrivalled freefly and downwind experience.
Light as a feather, the PLUME is F-ONE’s most freeing creation yet. The glide of a kite, combined with the comfort and practicality of a wing you can hold at arm’s length, creates a new, revolutionary riding sensation.
With a small leading edge, no central strut and a sleek C-shape profile, the PLUME is effortless to handle and easy to forget about when freeflying. Benefitting from a wide range of use, this K-Wing ensures stability, comfort, and an upwind angle on par with a wing, giving you maximum downwind time.
Gliding feels effortless, as the PLUME pulls you forward without straining your arms. Its super light construction and superior upwind capability make it a favorite for deflaters. The minimal bridle system makes setup simple and safe, even offshore. Finally, the PLUME’s tiny leading edge can be deflated in the air and re-inflated at sea with a mini pump.
Compact and lightweight, the PLUME is the perfect companion to make the most of the swell.
Technology 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. 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. 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.
