F-One - Acid 5 2012 Kiteboard

The F-One Acid 5 (V) is for new school freestylers. Short and wide up to the tips, with extreme pop for better jumps and landings. Its double concave will suppress any leg splash and absorb vibrations during high impact landings. The F-One Acid 5 (V) allows sharp edging, great release and insane pop. Light, sharp and responsive under your feet, this board will get you launching huge tricks.

Short and wide all the way to the tips, the F-One Acid 5 (V) produces the best pop, greatly helped by the Dynamic Flex that gives right back the energy loaded during the take off. Well balanced on its rocker line and bottom shape, the Acid 5 (V) is designed to facilitate landing and give your body a lesser impact.

The Direct Drive technology with full wood core, with its legendary resistance makes sure you can rely on your board at all times.

New school freestyle is the discipline where attention to the pads is essential. Low kite tricks will put a lot more energy on the landing and our 3D molded Platinium Pads offer incredible comfort and energy diffusion.

The under heel area is made out of two foam density, the top part being softer to absorb the little shocks and the bottom part harder to soak up the big ones!

Features / Technology:

Simple Concave: Glide, comfort and carving are major aspects of your boards handling. The edge to edge single concave improves all 3 points.

To glide and accelerate you use the centre part of your board where the new concave is 4mm deep. This effectively flattens the rocker of the centerline for more efficiency. And when carving or on edge the concave increases the bite of the rails for more effective edging. You also gain in comfort with the concave cushioning any rough water to give a smoother feeling under your feet.

Combining a concave in the bottom part and a channel straightening the middle, the F-One Acid 3 (III) gets instant planing, with huge upwind potential. The concave absorbs the chops and improves the grip. The tip channel enhances the water flow exit, and relieves pressure on the back foot, bringing an incomparable comfort.

Direct Drive:
Direct Drive refers to a board with minimum thickness, with 100% wood core and 100% fiberglass envelop. These elements are interrelated and create a coherent set answering the requirement of a high performances kiteboard.

With the Direct Drive F-One can obtain a very precise board, quick and active as it is able to erase the chops absorbs the energy and able to restitute all that in the best of timing. The feeling of riding in direct contact with the water is even greater, and the manufacturing quality is optimal.

100% Wood Core:
The core is the soul of the board; it is the key to the DIRECT DRIVE technology. Impossible to manufacture boards this thin 11mm in the center and only 3mm at the tips, without the help of wood core.

The flex, the dynamic response and the chocks and vibrations absorption provided by the wood core are unique and unequalled.

Dynamic Flex:
The board works for you and with you. You don't suffer from the uneven surface of the water. The results: less effort on your legs, better aim control and better sensations.

ABS Inverted Rail:
The most outstanding improvement in the DIRECT DRIVE technology; is the flex. The board is no longer passive. It works for you and with you.

You no longer suffer from the uneven surface of the water. The results: less effort on your legs, better aim control and better sensations.
