Kite Pack F-ONE Bandit S4

BANDIT S4 2023

The BANDIT S4 will follow your every move. It never overpowers, and offers subtle navigation and a constant connection to your board. Its forgiving nature doesn't interfere with your trajectory.

This year, the R&D team worked intensively on smoothing the profile with a unique design with staircase seams on the trailing edge. This breaks the tension line of the seam, which means that the kite profile is perfectly smooth. We also kept the orientation of the fabric so that it works in the straight line.

On the back of the profile, the two vertical panels are transformed into a single panel, and on small areas of 8m² and less, we used our new TECHNOFORCE 66. It also replaces the double thickness of TECHNOFORCE 52 on the trailing edge.

On large surfaces of 9m² and more, we have kept the TECHNOFORCE 52 with a double thickness on the trailing edge to guarantee lightness. Thanks to the innovative stepped seams, surges are better controlled to obtain a perfectly smooth profile.

All this leads to greater efficiency and performance, and brings impressive stability and comfort in the high range.

The leading edge batten reinforcements are now thinner and made of Kevlar. This improves the handling and maneuverability of the kite in the window, reduces aerodynamic disturbances, and lowers the overall weight of the kite when wet.

Our 4-point connection and 2 pulleys guarantee maneuverability and control in all conditions.

CNC machined, the new low-friction anodized aluminum "pulleys" are lightweight and improve kite responsiveness. They also increase the abrasion resistance and durability of the bridle.

This kite offers incredible handling and a clean, balanced bar feel that allows for immediate reaction to any action. It's easy to anticipate every move with the BANDIT S4, which stays ready at all times. The traction is ultra progressive, and you can concentrate solely on your navigation.

Thanks to its legendary Delta C-Shape, the only design still patented, this kite offers an incomparable bar feel, the best possible relaunch ability, and exceptional stability.

Discover the new BANDIT S4 that will allow you to surf or lay down new strapless tricks with control.

F-ONE LINX BAR

The bar itself has a small diameter with a very comfortable grip. The grip has a fine texture all around, with a firm feel at the bottom and a little softer on top.

The integrated floats house a system for adjusting the length of the bar. Simply pull the tab under the bar, turn the insert and the size is changed. It is also possible to adjust the length of the back lines.

The lifeline is now in a new rectangular sleeve to protect it from rubbing against the aluminum tube or the user's fingers.

The power adjustment key has been modified for simplicity and the trim is now thinner which makes it more precise. It is also removable from the depower line.

The LINX BAR offers the choice to switch between low and high V :

- High V for BANDIT, BANDIT S, BULLIT, BREEZE V1 and TRUST
- Low V for the TRIGGER, BREEZE V2 & V3, ONE, and FURTIVE

A buoyancy aid is placed above the trim so that the bar can float in the event of a release.

The color code of the bar is very clear with orange on the left and blue on the right.

The lines end in lark's heads to be attached to the pigtails of the clamps.

Above the release is a manual swivel for unwinding your lines.

The lifeline swivel is now automatic. It becomes a minimalist piece consisting of a plastic stud and a stainless steel ring on which to hang the leash.

F-ONE MITU PRO BAMBOO

Its compact outline and concave are part of the DNA of the MITU PRO models. Its shape also helps for easy planing, fast acceleration and excellent directional stability in all conditions.

The shape of the MITU PRO BAMBOO includes side flats on the hull and a flat area in the concave between the front and back foot. Its rocker allows a better control of the course, and improves mainly its behavior in the waves in all conditions.

Its swallow tail ensures a flawless grip and an easy pop. It is very maneuverable in the curves and brings a very good control. Volume, stability and planing are perfectly balanced for a board that surfs better than ever.

The Full Bamboo construction utilizes the natural properties of bamboo to achieve a strong, lightweight and reliable construction. The MITU PRO BAMBOO benefits from a single layer of bamboo on the hull and two layers on the deck for added strength and durability.

The range includes five sizes from 5'2 to 5'10. The smaller sizes focus more on maneuverability and speed control, while the larger sizes focus on planing and stability. They all share the same shape characteristics and their particular outline allows them to best capture the energy of each wave.

All sizes come with a rear pad, foot straps inserts and a set of Futures F4 437 Thruster fins. An optional front pad or middle pad can be added if needed.
