Ram-Air Foil Kite | Foiling / Freeride / Light Wind
Precise steering, sharp turns, powerful lift and exceptional drift in a playful mid-aspect foil kite.
The F-ONE TARGET combines the efficiency of a ram-air foil kite with direct steering, powerful lift and intuitive handling. Developed primarily for kite foiling, it delivers power on demand, tight turns, stable drift and efficient upwind and downwind performance. It is also officially recommended for freeriding with a twin tip and for snowkiting.
Choose the TARGET if you want a foil kite that combines user-friendliness with performance, speed and precise control. It reacts immediately to small bar inputs, generates power when you sheet in and quickly releases traction when you sheet out.
Its stability and drift make it especially appealing for carving and downwind kite foiling, while its lift, boost and hangtime extend its capabilities to freeride twin-tip sessions, jumps, loops and snowkiting.
Kite foiling is the TARGET’s primary program. F-ONE designed it for precise control, carving, efficient angles and rapid power adjustment while riding a hydrofoil.
The TARGET combines intuitive handling with speed, lift and playfulness for recreational freeride sessions.
Strong power, efficient upwind and downwind angles, high-end control and instant steering give the TARGET its performance-oriented character.
The TARGET accelerates quickly and is designed to keep pace with the speed of the foil while maintaining comfortable pull.
The TARGET is developed with kite foiling in mind. Its direct steering, power control, drift stability and efficient angles support fast freeriding, carving and downwind riding.
F-ONE positions the TARGET for light- to mid-wind conditions. The 13m² and 15m² sizes are optimized for stability at the zenith in ultra-light wind.
Efficient upwind performance, reduced lateral pull and controllable acceleration allow riders to travel quickly and comfortably across the water.
F-ONE recommends the smaller 6m², 7m² and 9m² sizes for riders who enjoy looping and tight carving. These sizes are described as reactive, fast-flying and easy to handle.
The TARGET can also be used with a twin tip. F-ONE highlights its lift, hangtime and ability to return upwind efficiently.
On snow, the TARGET delivers fast acceleration, dynamic handling and strong lift for jumps and loops.
The TARGET reacts instantly to light bar input. Its direct steering helps the rider know where the kite is positioned and place it accurately before a maneuver.
Stable wingtips allow the kite to complete tight turns, supporting narrow carving lines and responsive loops.
The TARGET offers substantial power potential through the bar throw. Sheeting in accelerates the kite and produces the power, lift or boost required at that moment.
Sheeting out allows the kite to lose traction immediately, helping the rider control speed and cruise with less pull.
F-ONE tuned the TARGET to accelerate with the foil while maintaining comfortable power delivery and reduced lateral pull.
The kite’s profile provides stability in gusty and turbulent conditions. After a gust, F-ONE states that the kite returns easily to the 12 o’clock position.
The TARGET’s profile and weight distribution were designed for drift stability. As the kite travels through the window, it is designed to float back without collapsing.
F-ONE states that relaunch remains possible even in very light wind. This extends the TARGET’s usability during marginal kite-foiling sessions.
The TARGET is designed to deliver lift and boost when requested through the bar. F-ONE states that even the smaller sizes can produce high jumps in very little wind.
The 13m² and 15m² sizes are intended for light-wind freeriding and maximum lift and hangtime during jumps.
The TARGET uses a mid-aspect design that combines stability, power, lift and user-friendliness. F-ONE tunes the aspect ratio individually for each size, giving the smaller kites a particularly dynamic and powerful feel.
High-speed air-intake valves with optimized shapes allow the kite to inflate quickly. F-ONE states that the wingtips fill almost immediately during setup.
F-ONE builds the TARGET with a robust, long-lasting 38g canopy material designed to provide increased waterproofness.
Insignia half-circle reinforcement is used at every attachment point to increase durability.
| Kite | Official Position | Sizes | Why Choose It? |
|---|---|---|---|
| TARGET | Dynamic mid-aspect foil kite for foiling, freeride, carving, jumps and loops | 6, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15m² | Choose the TARGET for direct steering, tight turns, strong drift, power on demand and a balance of simplicity and performance. |
| HALO | Forgiving all-condition ram-air kite for freeride, light wind, snowkiting and all-terrain use | 8, 10, 12, 15 and 19m² | Choose the HALO when comfort, forgiveness, broad wind range and reduced control input are the priorities. Choose the TARGET for a more direct, dynamic and performance-focused feel. |
| DIABLO V.5 | IKA-registered competition foil kite developed for racing | 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 18, 21 and 25m² | Choose the DIABLO V.5 for race performance, VMG, speed and competitive angles. Choose the TARGET for freeride, carving, jumping and playful everyday foiling. |
| Size | Kite-Only Weight | Wind Range | Foil Bar | Line Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6m² | 1.350 kg | 10–30 knots | 50 cm | 15 m |
| 7m² | 1.500 kg | 9–27 knots | 60 cm | 15 m |
| 9m² | 1.850 kg | 8–25 knots | 60 cm | 15 m |
| 11m² | 2.100 kg | 7–22 knots | 60 cm | 15 m |
| 13m² | 2.500 kg | 6–20 knots | 60 cm | 15 m |
| 15m² | 2.850 kg | 5–18 knots | 60 cm | 15 m |
F-ONE provides these wind ranges as guidelines for a 75 kg rider. Actual kite choice must also account for rider ability, board or foil, water conditions and wind quality.
F-ONE’s TARGET size chart specifies a 50 cm FOIL Bar for the 6m² and a 60 cm FOIL Bar for the 7m² through 15m² sizes. Every size is specified with 15-meter lines.
Confirm whether a control bar is included or sold separately in the specific Windance product offer.
F-ONE categorizes the TARGET as a ram-air foil kite. It fills through high-speed air-intake valves rather than using the construction described for an inflatable leading-edge kite.
Kite foiling is its primary program. F-ONE also recommends it for fast freeride, light wind, carving, jumps, loops, twin-tip riding and snowkiting.
Yes. F-ONE designed its profile and weight distribution for drift stability and states that the kite floats back without collapsing as it travels through the wind window.
Sheeting in accelerates the kite and produces power, lift or boost. Sheeting out immediately reduces traction, allowing the rider to control speed through the bar throw.
F-ONE states that relaunch is possible even in very light wind, which is especially valuable during marginal kite-foiling sessions.
F-ONE recommends the 6m², 7m² and 9m² sizes for riders who enjoy looping and narrow carving turns.
The 13m² and 15m² sizes are optimized for stability at the zenith in ultra-light wind and for maximum lift and hangtime.
F-ONE positions the TARGET as a performance freeride foil kite. The DIABLO V.5 is F-ONE’s officially registered competition racing model.
