The right kite depends on your style (freeride, wave, freestyle), your level, your weight and your spot's wind range.
What size?
By weight and wind. Reference for 75–85 kg:
- Light wind (12–18 knots): 10 – 12 m²
- Medium wind (18–25 knots): 8 – 9 m²
- Strong wind (25+ knots): 6 – 7 m²
Most riders own 2 to 3 sizes (e.g. 8 / 12 m²) to cover their spot year-round.
The F-ONE range
- BANDIT: the icon — all-around freeride, wave and big air. The Swiss-army knife, ideal for most riders.
- BANDIT S: the wave / strapless specialist — fast pivot and perfect drift.
- BREEZE: light wind and foil — very light single-strut, takes off in almost nothing.
- DIABLO: freestyle / wakestyle — powerful, clean pop.
- WTF?!: hardcore freestyle for the top level.
Beginner: where to start?
A BANDIT in the right size covers everything and forgives mistakes — the safe choice to learn. Pair it with a suitable bar and ideally a few lessons.
We'll help you with size and model to match your spot and level.
