Pocket wings can sometimes seem a bit technical, which is exactly why the FRIGATE was designed to be extremely easy to use. Thanks to its stability, intuitive handling, high level of comfort, and exceptional upwind performance, you can focus entirely on what matters most.
The FRIGATE really stands out for its fast and effortless upwind performance. Its aerodynamic design generates a constant forward pull that makes upwind sailing easier and combines direct power with efficient acceleration. This allows you to handle even smaller Foils ride. Stability and control are maintained even in depower mode, ensuring an efficient and comfortable riding experience in all conditions.
Thanks to its stiff leading edge, optimized canopy tension, and minimalist bridle system, the FRIGATE benefits from reduced drag and optimal airflow. This ensures stability, strong performance, and an exceptionally wide wind range.
This wide wind range means you can ride all day without having to change sizes. At the lower end of the wind range, the FRIGATE delivers consistent pull with minimal effort. At the upper end, it remains stable and predictable, even when the wind picks up significantly.
The FRIGATE features a revolutionary dynamic bridle system that automatically optimizes the shape of the pocket wing, both when the wind is strong and when the wing is fully open without requiring any adjustments from the rider. This innovative system operates entirely without pulleys, automatically regulates the different tensions in the sail, reduces wrinkling and the risk of tangling, improves upwind performance, and maximizes power in both the low and high ends.
Thanks to the short bridles and a straightforward color scheme, the FRIGATE is exceptionally easy and intuitive to handle. The top of the bar, the upper bridles (A), and the leading edge are all the same color, which makes it much easier to orient yourself and understand the setup during a session.
As soon as the Wing Once it's rolled out, it's ready to go right away. Its ultra-compact design makes it easy to stow away, so you can get back out there in no time and spend more time downwind instead of hilling.
The lightweight, ergonomic carbon handlebar ensures precise and comfortable steering. Even with just one hand, every movement feels smooth and intuitive.
F-ONE also meets the highest standards when it comes to materials. Made from high-quality Porcher fabric, which is known for its quality, stiffness, and durability, the FRIGATE maintains its performance over the long term. The water-repellent material also ensures that the Wing remains lightweight and can be easily restarted even after falling into the water. The system is complemented by high-quality LIROS bridles, which offer excellent abrasion resistance and high reliability.
The FRIGATE was designed to give you maximum freedom and as much time on the water as possible. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rider looking for adventure and independence, it makes downwind runs easier than ever before. Grab one and discover new possibilities.
Mini ribs and D-ribs
The FRIGATE's design incorporates mini-ribs and D-ribs. This technology, which originated in paragliding, ensures a more precise airfoil shape and reduces the number of bridles.
This reinforces the sail's structure and improves its stability. The pocket Wing It becomes faster, stiffer, and handles much better at higher altitudes.
Dynamic Bridle System
The FRIGATE’s revolutionary Dynamic Bridle System is designed to optimize the shape of the Pocket Wing both when the sail is fully inflated and when it is open. Some bridles are activated when the sail is open, while others are activated when the sail is fully inflated, all without any adjustments needed by the rider.
Thanks to this innovative bridle system, performance is maximized at both low and high frequencies without the need for additional components such as pulleys, which would significantly increase the risk of tangling.
The Dynamic Bridle System also allows for better control of the sail tension, resulting in significantly fewer wrinkles, even when the Wing is fully opened. This noticeably improves overall performance and upwind capabilities.
These high-quality braided bridles provide optimal stiffness and minimal stretch, ensuring reliability and easy handling. With their optimized diameter and high stiffness, these LIROS bridles offer excellent abrasion resistance, low stretch, and maximum reliability. Their design also prevents knots and tangles, ensuring maximum safety.
Stash Handle
A small, arm-length stash handle makes it especially easy to depower the FRIGATE and stow it away efficiently.
Vertical Bar
The lightweight, small-diameter Vertical Carbon Bar is designed for precise steering, intuitive power management, and easy storage.
Thanks to the EVA grip, the bar offers a high level of comfort as well as a secure and ergonomic grip. Even with just one hand, every movement feels smooth and natural.
Porcher Material
The canopy of this single-skin pocket wing is made from state-of-the-art Porcher fabric, which is renowned for its quality, durability, and outstanding balance of lightness and stiffness.
The water-repellent material also ensures that the FRIGATE remains lightweight and can be easily restarted even after falling into the water.
