Strapless Freestyle • Explosive Pop • Slim Tech Carbon Custom • Small-Wave Versatility
2027 F-ONE MAGNET CARBON Kite Surfboard
Built for the next strapless trick, with more freedom to surf the small waves between attempts.
The 2027 F-ONE MAGNET CARBON is a dedicated strapless freestyle board built for pop, quick acceleration and control in the air. This third version adds a more pinched tail and refined fin positions to improve rail-to-rail response in small waves. Its proven rocker remains, preserving the speed, drive and stability riders use to set up takeoffs.
A remarkably thin 0.9-inch profile and compact shape keep the board responsive underfoot and easy to follow through an air. Deep bottom channels and tuned flex help settle landings; a wide-coverage pad and recessed grab rail support technical strapless moves. Its Slim Tech Carbon Custom construction pairs a CNC-shaped PVC foam core with a full carbon fiber skin for a light, strong board.

Why Choose the MAGNET CARBON?
Choose the MAGNET CARBON when your session revolves around takeoffs, board control in the air and repeatable landings. F-ONE designed the thin, compact shape to stay close to your feet through strapless tricks, while its carbon build and established rocker deliver the pop and drive needed to get off the water even when a wave is not providing the ramp.
The third-generation changes broaden what you can do between tricks. A pinched tail and revised fin positions make small-wave turns smoother and more precise. It remains a freestyle specialist, but it is more willing to engage a rail and surf when the conditions offer a face.
What Changed for This Version?
More Pinched Tail
The revised tail helps the board transition from rail to rail, making it easier to carve cleanly in smaller waves.
Refined Fin Positions
The updated layout works with the tail shape to sharpen responsiveness and precision while turning.
Established Rocker
F-ONE kept the rocker line to preserve the board's familiar speed, drive and stability for strapless takeoffs and aerials.
Freestyle DNA Intact
The changes add small-wave versatility while the compact outline, thin profile and pop remain focused on strapless tricks.
How It Rides
Pop on Flat Water or a Ramp
F-ONE emphasizes strong takeoff performance whether you use the face of a wave or load the board on flat water.
Responsive in the Air
The compact shape, slim rails and thin profile make it easier to move the board with your feet through an aerial rotation.
Controlled Landings
Deep channels on the bottom and carefully tuned flex work together to help the board settle after impact.
Small-Wave Carving
The more pinched tail and revised fin placement improve rail-to-rail movement, giving this freestyle board more freedom to surf.
Construction and Included Equipment
Slim Tech Carbon Custom
A CNC-shaped PVC foam core is wrapped in carbon fiber skin. F-ONE vacuum-bags the hand-laid layers to keep weight low while using the fibers efficiently.
Wide-Coverage Traction Pad
The included full pad has corduroy-style grooves and differentiated grip zones for comfortable traction and more intuitive foot placement.
Recessed Grab Rail
A grip recess in the deck makes it easier to grab the board for tic-tacs and other technical strapless maneuvers.
Flow Carbon XS Fin Set
F-ONE supplies three Flow Carbon XS fins with both board sizes. A leash plug and full pad are also listed in its size specifications.
