Introducing the F-One Strike V4: Our latest iteration in the Strike series enhances your hydrofoil experience with a design that emphasizes intuitive performance, balanced aerodynamics, and exceptional control.
Key Features of the F-One Strike V4:
Effortless Start: The new Strike V4 features super intuitive pumping and a certain flexibility that facilitates easy planing without excessive energy expenditure or specialized techniques. The wing responds to pumping with immediate power, offering a seamless transition to planing.
Optimized Aerodynamics and Balance: Through meticulous work on the wing's balance and aerodynamics, the Strike V4 delivers superior performance. It maintains control and precision, allowing for smooth traction that feels like using a lighter, smaller wing.
Impressive Wind Range Control: The Strike V4 excels across the wind range, efficiently handling gusts and providing a new sensation of "Going Forward". This results in remarkable forward traction and horizontal acceleration, enhancing the thrill of speed.
Consistent Low-End Performance: The wing maintains consistent glide and exceptional upwind capabilities, unaffected by air holes or adverse winds, ensuring a steady and reliable ride.
Freestyle Ready: With its stiffness, the Strike V4 supports dynamic accelerations, massive pop, and extended hangtime, making it a favorite for freestyle enthusiasts. Its easy-turning nature facilitates rotations, allowing for flawless trick execution and innovation.
Design Innovations:
Revamped Structure: The central strut of the Strike V4 is now completely straight, optimizing control over deformation and reducing drag. This new configuration leads to less deformation, extends the infill nearly to the back of the wing, and integrates our innovative Load Diffuser for weight reduction.
Enhanced Stability: The addition of a dihedral angle improves stability and keeps the wingtips out of the water during pumping and riding. New leading and trailing edge tensions along with a refined radial cut maintain a smooth and stable profile for unparalleled performance.
Advanced Materials: Utilizing HITEX on the inflatable structure and TECHNOFORCE™ 52g and 66g on the canopy, the Strike V4 offers great resistance to elongation, enhancing durability and performance. The strategic distribution of materials accommodates varying tensions and pressures specific to each area of the wing.
Precision Load Management: Small radial cuts on the wingtips and back of the strut distribute tensions effectively. The Load Diffuser, made from overlapping panels of Mylar and Dacron, helps maintain an efficient and sleek profile, ensuring ultimate stability, performance, and longevity.
Customizable Handles: The new interchangeable handle system on the Strike V4 allows you to choose from soft, hybrid, or rigid handles, giving you the freedom to customize the wing to your handling preferences.
The F-One Strike V4 represents the perfect blend of performance, control, and smoothness, engineered to offer both stiffness for precision and a gentle, progressive traction for effortless motion. This wing sets a new standard in hydrofoil performance, providing a unique and exhilarating experience on the water.
