Description
Light, compact and made for waves
Known for its lightness and manoeuvrability, the SWING shines in waves and freefly with total control and very smooth power delivery. This fifth version debuts a completely revised design and a shorter span, which make it lighter, make pumping easier, improve manoeuvrability and let you ride with your arms lower. It also inherits the forward pull of the STRIKE.
Reduced span · Sweep Control Panel · HITEX fabric · 2 to 5.5 m² · Flame/Onyx and Onyx/Mint colours
Who it's for
- Riders looking for a wing to surf waves and freefly with a neutral position that is easy to forget about.
- Anyone starting downwind runs who needs to go upwind well to get back.
- Smaller riders, who appreciate riding with their arms lower and a light wing.
What makes it special
01 New design, less span
More lightness and manoeuvrability and excellent take-off thanks to the compact design.
02 Sweep Control Panel
In HITEX 178 g, it controls trailing edge tension and reinforces the leading edge, while keeping lateral flex for comfortable pumping.
03 Stability and comfort
Stays stable and comfortable in any situation, including choppy seas.
04 Controlled speed
Well-controlled acceleration and speed for accessible performance and intuitive riding.
05 Excellent freefly
Its neutral position lets you concentrate on your line and the wave.
06 One boom for the whole range
The optimised strap position lets you use a single boom across several F-ONE wing sizes and models.
Where it shines: waves, freefly and downwind runs; it also gives control in choppy seas and in high-speed acceleration.

Data from F-ONE's official Swing V5 spec sheet (reference 77251-0801). The weight is that of the wing. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one if you are heavier or ride in gusty wind, and the smaller one if you are after manoeuvrability in waves; if in doubt, ask us. Check the selector for sizes and colours available in store.
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 does not deform under load.
- HITEX: high-tenacity polyester with a high-quality weave and coating; it resists stretching, gives structural stability and extends the life of the wing.
- Sweep Control Panel: a leading edge panel that dynamically and precisely controls the wing's sweep thanks to better tension control.
- Interchangeable handle system: all F-ONE wings accept different types of handles or a boom to adapt them to the way you ride.
- Longer Load Diffuser and radial cut: minimise deformation of the wing and distribute tension better.
Swing V5 on the water
Which one to choose?
- Swing V5 Lilac/Onyx: the same model in the new Lilac/Onyx colour.
- Strike 6: more powerful, faster and more versatile for freeride and freestyle; the Swing is lighter and more neutral in freefly.
- Origin V2: the smoothest and most comfortable in the range, designed for progression.
- Plume: F-ONE's K-Wing, a hybrid between kite and wing for downwind and freefly.
Pair it with: the Carbon Boom V2 or the Hard Wing Handle, Hybrid Wing Handle and Soft Wing Handle handles, the Wrist Leash With Swivel, a board such as the Rocket Wing - S and the Max Flow Pump.
