The original feeling returns with the ORIGIN, F-ONE’s new wing. As its name indicates, the ORIGIN is a wing that recalls the easy, comfortable feel of our original wings, with which many discovered and first tasted the thrill of wing foiling.
- An accessible, light, and forgiving wing
- Legendary pumping and easy take-offs
- Optimized design for extra lightness and comfort
- Impressive freefly abilities in light wind
- Equipped with our new interchangeable handle system
We have developed the ORIGIN for anyone who wants to discover wing foiling today with all our know-how and current experience, as well as for all those nostalgic for our first wings. The ORIGIN benefits from the extensive Sail Engineering work done over the years, including new designs and the most modern technologies and materials.
An absolute dream in the low end, the ORIGIN is a super comfortable, light, forgiving, and accessible all-round wing that feels effortless to ride. It allows the easiest take-offs with minimal pumping and with just enough speed to get going. Beginners and experts alike will appreciate its very efficient and intuitive pumping thanks to its flexibility, as well as its super smooth take-offs. This wing is the softest and most comfortable one of our range.
The ORIGIN also offers intuitive power delivery with barely any adjustments needed once in the air. Simply sheet in and let it make you foil away. Its controlled speed allows you to ride without excessive effort or fatigue.
The ORIGIN is for everyone. It is the ideal choice for riders looking to spend long hours on the water, those who ride larger foils and boards and need easy power for planing starts, or for beginners looking for a high-quality wing with great potential to evolve and progress.
Its lightness truly sets it apart from our other wings, making it also perfect to freefly in the low end. The ORIGIN is a great addition to your quiver as a light-wind wing.
Features:
- Design: Although inspired by the STRIKE and the SWING, the ORIGIN’s design has been optimized to guarantee as much lightness and comfort as possible.
With our staggered seams, the fabric and its seams work better to keep a smooth and efficient profile and to reduce the deformation of the wing’s shape under load. The control of the profile is ideal to guarantee total stability and comfort during the ride.
Small radial cuts are implemented on the wingtips and on the back of the strut to spread tensions. Aligning the fibre exactly along the load paths means that stretch can be controlled to a never-before-seen level on a wing.
Located on the back of the strut, our refined Load Diffuser made of overlapping panels of hard Mylar and Dacron further helps maintaining the profile sleek and efficient, leading to the ultimate stability, performances, and longevity.
The strut and the two central segments of the leading edge on each side of the strut are made of HITEX 158g. This high tenacity polyester offers great resistance to elongation and therefore greater durability and performances. The remaining segments of the leading edge are made of Dacron 150g to guarantee lightness and comfort.
The ORIGIN’s canopy is in TECHNOFORCE™/D2 in 52g, while the thicker TECHNOFORCE™/D2 in 66g is on the trailing edge, just like the STRIKE. These materials are perfectly distributed to account for the different tensions, high pressures, and weight distribution of each area.
Like the latest editions of our other wings, the central strut is completely straight, which allows us to better control its deformation and possible twisting, while reducing drag. As a result, the infill is a bit lower and deforms less, and we’ve extended it almost all the way to the back.
- Handles: The ORIGIN is fitted with our new interchangeable handle system: soft, hybrid or fully rigid, the choice is yours. Wings come with soft handles pre-installed, but it is now possible for riders to customize handles at their preference.
- REACTOR VALVE: The reactor inflation valve offers a high flow connection that twist locks the pump hose to the kite for an easy and super-fast inflation and deflation at the push of a button.
- SAIL ENGINEERING: Sail engineering is the science of controlling our design and its behavior
while flying. These features have been created with one goal in mind:
Mastering the kite’s loads to maintain the desired shape for the longest
time.
- HITEX: To meet the specific needs of the development of wings and kites, and to offer a high-performance and durable product without using inaccessible materials, F-ONE has developed HITEX, a new high tenacity polyester. Available in 158g, and exclusively for F-ONE in 178g, this new material is incredibly resistant to elongation and increases the durability of wings and kites.
HITEX is an innovative, high tenacity polyester fiber with an enhanced high-quality weaving and coating that increases the fabrics’ resistance. The 178g is a new weight and perfectly matches the needs of the center strut and center of its leading edge. The lighter 158g is used in the leading edge tips.
Used throughout the inflatable structure of the wings and kites and designed to handle the high pressures when inflating, HITEX offers performance and resistance. Thanks to extensive Sail Engineering work, the R&D team has placed each weight of HITEX in different areas allowing absolute control of the shape session after session.
- ADAPTIVE WING DESIGN: While the industry trends towards the “all-rigid”, we have developed the Adaptive Wing Design, a unique concept offering the perfect balance between performance and comfort.
- ORIGIN LOAD DIFFUSER: Located on the back of the strut, our innovative Load Diffuser made of overlapping panels of hard Mylar and Dacron further helps maintaining the profile sleek and efficient, leading to the ultimate stability, performances, and longevity.
- ORIGIN RADIAL TIPS: Small radial cuts are also implemented on the wingtips and on the back of the strut to spread tensions. Aligning the fibre exactly along the load paths means that stretch can be controlled to a never-before-seen level on a wing.
