Wave + Strapless Package • Unrivalled Drift • CODE-TEC Airframe • LINX Bar SK99
2025 F-One ADDIKT TEC Kite + LINX SK99 Bar Pack
A complete wave, strapless and foil package built around fast turning, immediate depower, exceptional drift and precise four-line control.
The 2025 F-One ADDIKT TEC Kite + LINX SK99 Bar Pack combines F-ONE’s dedicated wave and strapless kite with its high-performance four-line control system. The ADDIKT TEC is the successor to the BANDIT-S, developed for riders who want the kite to follow their line through every carve without pulling them away from the wave.
Its lightweight CODE-TEC airframe, fast turning and immediate depower allow the kite to drift down the line, handle gusts and lulls, and remain precisely steerable while sheeted out. The included LINX Bar SK99 adds low-stretch Dyneema lines, adjustable bar width and a precise depower system for a direct connection to the kite.

- Unrivalled Drift
- Immediate Depower
- Sizes 3.5–12m
Why Choose This Kite and Bar Package?
Choose the ADDIKT TEC package if wave riding, strapless freestyle and kite foiling are more important to you than maximum Big Air height. F-ONE gives the kite official program ratings of 100% for wave riding, 100% for kite foiling and 100% for freeride, with Big Air rated at 40%.
The ADDIKT TEC stands out because it combines extremely effective drift with immediate, smooth depower and precise steering when sheeted out. This allows you to depower through bottom turns, follow the kite through fast direction changes and stay closer to the wave’s power zone without fighting unwanted pull.
The LINX Bar SK99 completes the setup with durable, low-elongation lines and accurate power adjustment. Purchasing the matched kite and control bar together provides a complete F-ONE control system and eliminates compatibility guesswork.
Windance recommendation: Choose the ADDIKT TEC package if you ride a surfboard or foil and want maximum drift, quick turning and immediate depower. Choose the BANDIT TEC for more vertical boosting and all-around twin-tip versatility, or the BREEZE V5 for dedicated light-wind freeride and foil sessions.
What Is Included?
2025 F-One ADDIKT TEC Kite
One ADDIKT TEC kite in your selected size and color. Windance offers sizes from 3.5m through 12m in White/Onyx or Black/Mint.
2025 F-One LINX Bar SK99

Two Adjustable Bar Options
Choose the 38/45cm bar for kite sizes through 10m or the 45/52cm bar for the 11m and 12m. Windance may display these selectors as 45/38cm and 52/45cm.
Matched Four-Line System
F-ONE officially recommends the 2025 LINX Bar 4L for the ADDIKT TEC. The adjustable V-split lets the control system be configured for the correct F-ONE line geometry.
How the ADDIKT TEC Rides
Unrivalled Drift
The ADDIKT TEC can move downwind with the rider while remaining stable and controllable. This allows it to hang in the air as you ride toward the kite or accelerate down the line.
Immediate, Smooth Depower
Power switches off quickly and smoothly when you sheet out. The kite remains stable and continues responding to steering input, giving you better control through bottom turns and fast sections.
Lightning-Fast Turning
The lightweight, stiff CODE-TEC structure creates quick response and fast turning when you need to reposition the kite. F-ONE describes its maneuverability as feeling similar to a smaller kite.
Excellent Low-End Efficiency
Efficient low-end pull provides useful support without making the kite feel slow or oversized. This allows riders to use less kite while maintaining traction for wave approaches and foil starts.
Gust and Lull Control
Stable flight and smooth power modulation help the kite manage changing wind strength. It stays composed when sheeted out and provides controlled traction when the wind temporarily drops.
Underpowered or Powered Surfing
Ride underpowered to minimize the kite’s influence on the wave, or choose a more powered setup for strapless jumps. The ADDIKT TEC is designed to maintain control in either approach.
Turning, Bar Pressure, Depower, Relaunch and Jumping
- Turning speed: Extremely fast and reactive, helping the kite follow aggressive turns, cutbacks and rapid direction changes.
- Turning character: Tight and maneuverable, with the feeling of flying a smaller kite than its actual size.
- Bar pressure: Supportive enough to track the kite without excessive effort. Rear-line tuning lets the rider trade lower pressure for greater maneuverability or increase pressure for a more loaded feel.
- Depower: Immediate and smooth, with stable, precise steering maintained while the kite is sheeted out.
- Relaunch: Quick and easy through F-ONE’s Auto Relaunch system, which rolls the kite onto a wingtip and guides it toward the edge of the wind window.
- Drift: A defining strength. F-ONE positions the ADDIKT TEC as its dedicated choice for riders who need the kite to remain stable while moving downwind.
- Boosting: Capable of controlled strapless jumps, but maximum twin-tip boost is not its primary purpose.
- Hangtime: The ADDIKT TEC is designed around surf control and drift rather than extended Big Air hangtime.
- Wind range: Broad, with optimized low-end performance and absolute control across its usable range. Official size guidelines extend from 9–20 knots for the 12m to 40+ knots for the 3.5m.
ADDIKT TEC Construction
CODE-TEC Airframe
CODE-TEC is used throughout the inflatable structure. Its double-beam ripstop matrix, high-tenacity fibers and proprietary coating deliver low stretch, high tear strength and UV resistance.
Three-Strut Delta C Platform
The three-strut platform balances airframe support with reduced weight and quick maneuverability. F-ONE’s Delta C-Shape combines usable projected area with fluid steering and effective depower.
TECHNOFORCE Canopy
TEIJIN TECHNOFORCE is a high-density polyester canopy material with a tear-stopping structure made from thin, high-tension yarns for proven lightness and durability.
Sail Engineering
Fabric orientation and panel placement direct loads through the strongest yarn directions. This helps the kite maintain its intended shape while avoiding unnecessary weight.
Staggered Seams
Staggered seams break continuous tension lines through the canopy, distribute loads over a wider area and help preserve a clean, stable aerodynamic profile under power.
Streamlined Wing Tips
Reduced-diameter leading-edge tips lower drag, while integrated straps help prevent the bridles from tangling around the kite’s tips.
Low-Drag Bridles
Smaller-diameter bridle lines reduce drag and elongation for more direct steering. Removable main-V and small-V sections also improve repairability.
One-Pump Inflation
The updated one-pump system distributes air between the leading edge and struts for faster setup and easier deflation after the session.
LINX Bar SK99 Technology
SK99 Dyneema Lines
SK99 lines provide increased durability and greater resistance to abrasion and elongation. Reduced stretch creates more direct steering and more precise bar feedback.
Adjustable Bar Width
The LINX Bar comes in adjustable 38/45cm and 45/52cm configurations, allowing the steering leverage to be matched to different ADDIKT TEC sizes.
Adjustable V-Split
The aluminum V-splitter can be positioned in low-V, high-V or high-V+ configurations for compatibility with different F-ONE four-line kite setups.
Precise Depower Cleat
The refined stainless-steel cleat provides intuitive above-the-bar power adjustment. Its thinner design improves depower precision.
Protected Lifeline
A rectangular depower sheath protects the lifeline from rubbing against the aluminum center tube and prevents the center line from rubbing against the rider’s fingers.
Lifeline Swivel
The minimalist below-the-bar swivel rotates easily and automatically untwists the lifeline. Its stainless-steel ring also provides the leash attachment point.
Single-Front-Line Connection
The four-line hub connects the lifeline to one front line as part of the LINX Bar’s control and safety configuration.
Removable Pigtails
Removable pigtails make compatible line extensions easier to add and improve repairability when individual connection components become worn.
What Do TEC, SK99 and Pack Mean?
ADDIKT TEC
TEC identifies the kite’s CODE-TEC inflatable structure. This low-stretch material makes the kite lighter, stiffer, more reactive and better able to maintain its designed shape under load.
SK99
SK99 identifies the high-strength Dyneema line material supplied on the LINX Bar. It increases resistance to abrasion and elongation for a more direct control response.
ADDIKT versus BANDIT-S
The ADDIKT TEC is the official successor to the BANDIT-S. It continues F-ONE’s dedicated wave and strapless program with a lighter, stiffer CODE-TEC airframe and highly responsive handling.
Pack
Pack means this listing includes both the selected ADDIKT TEC kite and LINX Bar SK99. The kite retains the same official construction and performance as the standalone ADDIKT TEC.
