The first version of the SK8 took the foiling world by storm, quickly becoming the go-to choice for surf foilers and wing foilers alike. Kite foilers also enjoyed its high top-speed and gliding feeling, while downwind riders loved its ability to playfully carve in the bumps in the open ocean, making this foil the most versatile on the market.
F-One is now back with the latest SK8, offering everything you loved about the original, but even better thanks to its new and optimized carbon layup bringing tenfold sensations on the water.
Carbon Layup:
Thanks to in-depth research, rigorous testing and the know-how of our R&D team, the SK8's new carbon layup delivers higher speeds while guaranteeing perfect control and greater stability.
Turns become smoother, rail-to-rail transitions more precise, and the foil’s roll motion is improved, offering exceptional manoeuverability. More predictable, the new SK8 delivers constant power, making it super intuitive to control.
The use of High Modulus Carbon, integrated into F-ONE's Dynamic Structural Design, leads to even more rigidity and dependability. Finally, this layup has been finely tuned and optimized so that each foil size can deliver the best performance.
The SK8 has been designed to surf. Its overall shape provides a fine balance between glide and maneuverability, which allows the user to tear a wave apart and then pump back to the peak effortlessly. It doesn’t just turn. It carves.
Manoeuverability is nothing without power, speed and control. Lay into turns with ease and speed, push through the carve and see how the SK8 holds a steady line and delivers evenmore speed.
It is meant to stay in the pocket. With specific wingtips design, the SK8 is able to hit white water without too many turbulences, allowing surf-style turns and breaching pretty much any part of the foil.
Carve, pump, fly. Take the SK8 for a wing ride, and you’ll feel a fast, easy-to-go-upwind foil that you can surf all the way from the offshore swell until the impact zone.
