2025 F-One Wing Lineup: Which One Is Right for Me?

At MACkite, we've always found F-One's wings to be a solid choice, and this year's lineup looks like it will live up to our high expectations once again. But with five options on the board, it might be a bit overwhelming to decide which is the best choice for you, so we're going to break it down.

First, there are really only three models: the Origin, Swing, and Strike. You'll choose among those by what sort of riding you want to do. Second, if you choose the Strike, you'll have three options based on what sort of performance you want or what the conditions are like at your spot, so it's not going to be as complicated a decision as it seems at first glance.

In general, the Origin is for newer riders and those looking for an accessible wing that's comfortable for everyday freeriding. The Swing is for those who need a wing that flags out so well you almost forget it's there, like wave foilers and downwind SUP foilers. And the Strike is a speed and freestyle machine for those who want to push their limits, with the Aluula edition delivering the highest performance and stiffness and the CWC being tailored for light wind.

Let's break down the features of each wing:

Origin

Sizes: 2.0 / 2.5 / 3.0 / 3.5 / 4.0 / 4.5 / 5.0 / 5.5 / 6.0m

For anyone who isn't trying to achieve top speed, doesn't like riding overpowered, and wants a smooth and easy-going session. Ideal for longer sessions, larger boards and foils, and progression.

• Forgiving and comfortable
• More flex
• Better low end and light wind performance
• Accessible to new riders
• Easy take-offs
• Intuitive and easy power delivery
• Controlled speed for reduced effort and fatigue

Swing

Sizes: 2.0 / 2.5 / 3.0 / 3.5 / 4.0 / 4.5 / 5.0 / 5.5m

For waves and downwinders, the Swing floats steadily behind you while you're focused on surfing or reading the bumps. It's also got a compact shape that's ideal for newer or shorter riders.

• Light and well-balanced for effortless flagging
• Smooth traction and power delivery
• Increased upwind angle and good speed
• Efficient in onshore and rough conditions

Strike

Sizes: 2.0 / 2.5 / 3.0 / 3.5 / 4.0 / 4.5 / 5.0 / 5.5m

If you want to accelerate and go fast, the Strike is your wing. It's stiff and punchy, yet stable, powerful, and precise. It's well-behaved in stronger winds and delivers the pop and hangtime freestylers need.

• Stiff for a crisp and punchy feel, yet still comfortable to ride.
• Fast, stable, powerful, and precise
• Impressive forward traction
• Maintains control while overpowered
• Exceptional upwind ability and angle
• For faster foils and foils with more glide
• Pop and hangtime for freestyle

Strike Aluula

Sizes: 2.5 / 3.0 / 3.5 / 4.0 / 4.5 / 5.0 / 5.5m

If the Strike sounds like your wing but you want the highest performance possible, the Aluula version is the stiffest and lightest wing in the lineup with an Aluula strut and control panel on the leading edge.

• All the features of the Strike plus Aluula strut and leading edge Sweep Control Panel
• Stiffest, lightest wing in the lineup
• Responsive and efficient

Strike CWC Aluula

Sizes: 6.0 / 7.0 / 8.0 / 9.0m

Light wind days can still be fun. The Strike CWC packs the performance of the Strike into F-One's Compact Wing Concept (CWC) for the surface area you need to catch the wind without extended wingtips to catch the water. All three struts are Auula to keep the stiffness up and the weight down on these larger models.

It's also ideal for larger riders who need the extra power, as well as for new riders looking to learn on calmer days.

• Large but light and stiff thanks to Aluula struts
• Compact design to keep your wingtips from dragging
• Pull-and-go low end
• Impressive high end to absorb gusts
• Powerful even in light wind

Every F-One wing is built with the quality they're known for and is optimized to be as lightweight and efficient as possible. They also all have the interchangeable handle system to let you further customize your session. This means you can choose the wing that's right for your riding style without compromising on other areas.
