BREEZE V.3 16

Maneuverability

The BREEZE V.3 is for anyone who wants a lightweight setup that offers incredible handling with great performance abilities in the low-end. It is the perfect kite for light-wind freeriding and foiling in any conditions. Thanks to its stability and lightness, the BREEZE can also perform in low-wind wave riding.
The handling has been finely tuned across the size range, from 7 m² to 17 m². The larger sizes are even more 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.

Stability

The BREEZE has a stable canopy when depowered, and the overall range of the kite is wide.

In the air, the BREEZE V.3 is so intuitive to fly that you can forget about the kite and concentrate on the riding. This unique characteristic makes it perfect for beginners and advanced riders alike.

The kite has also been designed to work with a low front V on the bar to untangle lines after those inevitable kite crashes.

If you want a lightweight, one-strut kite that can put a smile on your face in 8 knots, the decision is easy. Let’s get breezy!

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.
TECHNOFORCE

TEIJIN’s TECHNOFORCE™ is the most reliable high density polyester fabric. Its tear-stopping structure using thin and high tension yarn makes the fabric ultra-durable.

It has a great proven track record of lightness and durability.

BACK LINE TUNING

How to adjust the settings?

SHEETED IN The back line is released and the forces go through the front connector. The bar pressure increases and the maneuvrability is less direct. It offers a very progressive bar with a feeling of a sheeted out back connector while we sheet in, therefore the pressure increases progressively.

SHEETED OUT The kite tilts and the back line stiffens. The tensions move to the trailing edge which has several effects: - less flapping - better start - maneuvrability with less pressure.

HIGH TENSION TUNING When the kite is sheeted out with the upper knot tuning (1): -kite’s maneuvrability increases -bar pressure reduces

LOW TENSION TUNING When the kite is sheeted in with the lower knot tuning (2): - kite’s maneuvrability reduces - bar pressure increases
FLAT SEWING

Stronger assembly of the panels: they are now glued and sewn together to make the canopy more rip resistant.
ONE PUMP COLLAR VALVE

Easier to remove and put back.
Convenient for bladder replacement.
STREAMLINED LEADING EDGE END TIPS

The leading edge tips benefit from a reduced diameter, they are streamlined to lower the drag and equipped with a strap to avoid bridle tangling
TRAILING EDGE

The internal outline of the trailing edge panels is no more linear but with a series of arches.

In the center, DACRON has been replaced by a double layer of canopy fabric which improves spreading the tensions, maintaining the profile and brings new gains in stability and performance.
VERTICAL STRUT CUT

The kite's struts are designed with a vertical cut in order to optimize the strength / diameter ratio.
TEIJIN 130G DACRON RIPSTOP

For over two decades, we have built our kites in the most state-of-the-art cloth from Teijin’s factory in Japan.

They have developed the best technologies and quality material for our kites over the years. Teijin has worked on a few major developments with the double ripstop on the canopy cloth and durability treatments.

The kite industry was lacking choice of cloth density. We could build kites with a 52g per square meter for the canopy and about 160g for the leading edge, strut, and reinforcements. Having only two choices was not easy because on some parts the 52g was too light and the 160g too heavy.

After numerous developments and tests with Teijin, we are now using a new Dacron 130g double ripstop. As a result, we have saved weight while keeping excellent strength. The kite is more reactive and of course feels lighter; that is particularly important for the bigger sizes, especially in light wind or for the turning speed during kite loops.
