Description
Pure surf feeling
The ADDIKT TEC is F-ONE's kite designed specifically for surf and strapless freestyle, successor to the renowned Bandit S. It debuts CODE-TEC fabric in the frame, lighter and stiffer, which translates into immediate response, more stability and a direct feel at the bar. Its instant depower, great stability when riding depowered and exceptional drift make it ideal for waves and strapless manoeuvres.

Who it's for
- Wave riders who want a kite that goes unnoticed while they surf.
- Anyone into strapless freestyle who needs immediate depower and control when jumping without straps.
- Riders looking for drift and stability when riding depowered.
What makes it special
01 Designed for surf and strapless
Conceived from the outset for waves and strapless freestyle.
02 CODE-TEC fabric: lighter and stiffer
The new frame fabric weighs less and is stiffer than previous materials: immediate response, more stability and a direct feel at the bar.
03 Immediate depower
Let go of the bar and the power disappears, which is key on the wave.
04 Exceptional drift
It follows your line on the wave without pulling you.
05 Optimised light-wind performance
More time on the water when the wind is marginal.
06 Total control across the range
Stable and precise across the whole wind range.
07 One-pump inflation
New system for faster inflating and deflating.
Where it shines: Wave riding and strapless freestyle, both riding with little power and with more pull for jumping.

Data from F-ONE's official Addikt TEC spec sheet (ref. 77251-0102): indicative wind ranges for a 75 kg rider, recommended bar width and kite weight. F-ONE does not give the line length on this sheet: ask us. If you're between two sizes, choose the larger one if you weigh more or ride in light wind. There's more help in our guide to choosing your kite size. Check the selector for the sizes and colours available in store.
Technology and construction
- CODE-TEC: F-ONE's frame fabric, lighter and stiffer, with less elongation and more tear resistance; the kite holds its shape and responds more directly.
- One-pump inflation system: speeds up inflation and makes deflation easier.
Addikt TEC on the water
Which one to choose?
- Bandit Brainchild: F-ONE's all-rounder for every discipline; choose it if, as well as waves, you do a lot of freeride and jumping.
- Banger QuadX: geared towards Big Air and freeride; a different philosophy if jumping on a twintip is your thing.
- Breeze Tec: a single-strut kite for light wind and kitefoil.
Pair it with: the Mitu Pro, Mitu Pro Carbon or Keahi Pro Surf surfboards, the Atom Bar and the Max Flow Pump.
Frequently asked questions
Is it F-ONE's latest Addikt?+
No. This is the Addikt TEC with CODE-TEC fabric; F-ONE has already launched a second generation of the Addikt. This version is still a very complete wave kite.
Which bar do I need?+
F-ONE recommends a 45 cm bar from the 3.5 to the 10 m² and a 52 cm bar for the 11 and 12 m². Write to us and we'll help you choose size and bar.
Is it suitable for strapless freestyle?+
Yes. It's designed for waves and strapless: you can ride with little power so the kite doesn't get in the way on the wave, or with more pull and total control for strapless jumps.
What does CODE-TEC fabric bring?+
More stiffness and less weight. The kite deforms less under load, keeps its profile and responds more directly and precisely.
