Description
Made to surf the wave
The Addikt Tec is F-ONE's wave and strapless kite, successor to the Bandit-S. Its CODE-TEC canopy makes it lighter and stiffer: it responds quickly, is very stable and feels smaller than it is, with great drift and good power at the low end of the range.
3.5 to 12 m² · 4 lines · CODE-TEC canopy · Waves · foil · freeride
Who it's for
- Wave and strapless riders.
- Anyone looking for a kite that drifts well and disappears while they surf.
- Foil and freeride (F-ONE rates it 100% for waves, foil and freeride).
What makes it special
01 Designed for waves and strapless
It can be ridden underpowered on the wave or with more power for strapless jumps.
02 CODE-TEC canopy
Less stretch and more tear resistance: lighter, stiffer, more stable and more responsive.
03 Instant depower
Fast, smooth depower, with plenty of stability when you let go of the bar.
04 Great drift
It follows your movements on the wave without pulling you.
05 Light-wind power
Optimised low end of the range.
06 Control across the range
Absorbs gusts and lulls.
07 One-pump system
Inflates faster and deflates more easily.
Where it shines: waves, strapless, foil and freeride.

Technology and construction
- CODE-TEC: canopy with less stretch, more tear resistance and more structural stiffness: it limits deformation under load and gives a more direct feel.
- One pump: new, faster inflation and deflation system.
- Recommended bar: F-ONE pairs it with its 4-line Linx bar.
Which one to choose?
- Addikt TEC (Onyx and Mint): the same kite in the Onyx and Mint colours; check the available sizes there.
- 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.
