*Weight of the parawing with the vertical bar and harness line. Official F-ONE data. If you're torn between two sizes, the bigger one will help you get going on light days and the smaller one will be more manageable when the wind picks up.

Technology and construction
- Canopy engineering: F-ONE has been designing kites since 1998 and wings since 2019; the layout of panels, seams and fabrics is designed so the profile doesn't distort under load.
- Pack Assist: a set of front bridles that cuts the power instantly: just slide your hand a few centimetres along the white bridles and the parawing goes neutral.
- Double Dynamic Bridle System: removes the B connector from the bar without adding pulleys or complex bridling; less risk of tangles, precise feel and intuitive power control.
- D-Ribs: D-shaped ribs that control the shape and tension of the canopy: better glide with fewer bridles, more wind range and remarkable stiffness.
- Carbon vertical bar: a moulded piece with extra length at the front to improve grip and comfort, with a very useful bracing point in strong wind.
Quest on the water
Which one to choose?
- Frigate 2: faster and better upwind; the choice if you're after performance over comfort.
- Plume: F-ONE's K-Wing, with an inflatable leading edge, for freefly and downwind.
Pair it with: a downwind board such as the Rocket Free Downwind or the Rocket Free Downwind Carbon and an efficient foil such as the Plane Seven Seas or the Plane Escape.
