The 2026 F-One hydrofoil lineup introduces meaningful upgrades aimed at improving stiffness, efficiency, and ease of use across the entire system. Central to these improvements is the new Titan 2 (T2) connection, along with the introduction of Ultra High Modulus (UHM) mast options, the updated SK8 V3 front wing, and the long-awaited Eagle V2 redesign. These changes represent a thoughtful evolution of F-One’s hydrofoil ecosystem—refining the performance characteristics riders a …

When two kites share the same name, the same designer, and the same big air DNA, but are built on completely different platforms, it’s worth slowing down and taking a deeper look. After spending weeks riding both models in strong Brazilian conditions, the Brazilian Brothers set out to answer one key question: “Which version of the Trigger truly delivers when it comes to big air, hang time, and kite loop progression?” In this detailed breakdown, we’ll unpack the dif …

The Brazilian Brothers are back with a comparison that many riders have been waiting for—a direct breakdown of the Trigger Brainchild versus the Bandit Brainchild. While both kites share the same design lineage and manufacturing DNA, they deliver drastically different experiences on the water. This is not a subtle tuning difference. These are two kites built for different missions. If you are deciding between explosive big air performance and all-around versatility, this breakdown will …

F-One has officially introduced the biggest structural update to its foil system in six years. After a week of riding in La Ventana alongside the F-One crew, customers, and the MACkite team, one thing became clear — the new T2 connection is not a cosmetic tweak. It’s a foundational shift in how the front wing connects to the mast. If you’ve been riding F-One for years, you already know the Titan T1 system has been incredibly reliable. Many riders have put serious miles on i …

F-One sent the Brazilian Brothers a Trigger TEC to try out, so they headed down to the beach in Prea where Rubens geared up, pumped up, and launched, excited to see how it handled and whether he could get some good jumps in the 25 knot conditions. What Is the Trigger TEC? Available in sizes from 6-12m, the Trigger TEC is a 5-strut high-performance big air kite that shares its DNA with the Trigger Brainchild, but is more intuitive and forgiving. Its leading edge and struts use CODE-TEC, a …

This episode brings together three purpose-built five-strut big air kites and one of Brazil’s most exciting big air talents, Josue “Baby Shark” San Ferreira (Instagram @josuesanf), for a true side-by-side comparison. No hype, no marketing spin—just real feedback from a rider throwing powered tricks in challenging, gusty conditions. The Brainchild lineup: Reedin MasterModel F-One Trigger Harlem Peak All three are five-strut designs aimed squarely at big air riders wh …

Banditry is not just a slogan at F-One—it is a state of mind. From the very beginning, the F-One Bandit was never designed to fit neatly into the established rules of kiteboarding. Instead, it was created to rewrite them. What began as a bold, almost defiant idea quietly evolved into one of the most influential kite designs the sport has ever seen, not through noise or hype, but through consistency, adaptability, and an unmistakable soul that riders around the world immediately recogni …

At first glance, the 2025 F-One Trigger and Harlem Thrive seem pretty similar. Both are big air kites designed by Ralf Groesel and made at his Brainchild facility, have amazing digitally printed graphics, and use Proweld construction to make them extremely lightweight. But that's where the similarity ends, and one will probably meet your needs better than the other. The Brazilian Brothers have spent a lot of time on both and have some observations to help you sort out which one is right f …

The Brazilian Brothers, Arthur and Rubens, are back with another review. Up this time is the 2025 F-One Trigger BrainChild, and it turns out that it feels right at home in the windy conditions of Prea, Brazil. It's designed for big air, which is the brothers' favorite style, so does it measure up to their standards, and what makes the BrainChild edition special? Pro-weld Technology The BrainChild edition of the F-One Trigger uses the innovative Pro-weld technology, which ultrasonically w …

Why Do I Need a Wrist Leash for Wing Foiling? A leash of some sort is almost a must when it comes to winging. If you've got anything like decent wind, your wing can scoot away pretty quickly when you fall, and you don't want to end up stranded, especially if you're on a sinker board. F-One's wrist leash is one of Ryan's favorites. It's simple, with nothing you don't need and everything you do. Cuff The wrist cuff is soft and comfortable, even on long sessions. It's got a wide adjustabili …

F-One's Frigate has got to be one of the most eagerly-awaited parawings so far. Even before its official release date, the preorders are almost sold out. How can a wing that no one's ridden be so hot already? Part of it is F-One's reputation for putting out quality products. This is their first entry into the parawing market because they take their time refining a product until it meets their standards. Tucker got a chance to get out on the Frigate, and he can confirm that this approach h …

It's no secret that Tucker is a fan of F-One gear. It's a brand that consistently delivers, and Tucker's excitement shows through whenever he gets his hands on something new. He's already had a chance to try F-One's Plume K-Wing, a unique wing that looks like a small kiteboarding kite, and now a demo of F-One's single-skin parawing, the Frigate, has just arrived. He's eager to put it through its paces, but since there isn't any wind today, he'll settle for taking a quick look at its featu …

The FRIGATE is one of the latest pocket wings on the market, and it's definitely got the shop excited for the future of downwind foiling. For such a small wing, it's packed with plenty of features and technology to keep it light, efficient, and ready at a moment's notice. Let's break down what makes the FRIGATE one of the most anticipated wings on the market: What is a FRIGATE? The F-One FRIGATE is part of an evolving trend in wing foiling. Unlike its inflatable counterparts like the Stri …

A new foilboard has been getting checked out of the demo room quite a bit. The F-One Rocket Wing Crossover bridges the gap between the Rocket Wing S and the Rocket Midlength. While it still falls into the midi board category, it's shorter and wider. So who is this board for, and what are the advantages of this shape? What Is the F-One Rocket Wing Crossover? As the name implies, it falls between a couple other boards in the F-One range. It's longer and narrower than the Rocket Wing S, but …
