Description
F-ONE's first pocket wing
The FRIGATE is F-ONE's first pocket wing (parawing), designed to get upwind fast and launch you into long downwind runs with total freedom. Its ultra-compact design lets you stow it when you're not using it and deploy it in seconds. It offers a good balance of stability, lightness and controlled power, and its dynamic bridle system optimises the shape and tension of the sail both when loading and releasing power.
First version · Dynamic bridle · 1.9 to 6.5 m² · Colours Flame/Wine, Gold/Petrol Blue, White/Lilac and Lemon/Lime

What is a pocket wing?+
A fabric wing with no inflatable structure that you handle with a small bar and can pack away while riding so you can keep going downwind with the wing stowed.

It depends on your weight, your usual wind and your board and foil. Write to us and we'll help you choose the right size.
Frigate or Frigate 2?+
