WE ARE OFFERING A BOARD DESIGNED FOR SUP, WINDSURF AND FOIL : THE PAPENOO WINDFOIL CONVERTIBLE ! Just writing these words down seems incredible!!! Who could have thought of it even a few months ago? Life is full of surprises and this is why our job is so engaging. Yes, 20 years down the road, F-ONE is offering a windsurfing board,again!!! After 4 years of work on the KITEFOIL, we’ve received demand from windsurfers and we have designed specific wings to offer them the products they need. Then came along the question of the board and the PAPENOO Foil convertible appeared ideal for “windfoiling” SHAPE Its wide outline at the tail provides enough volume to be in the right position for lift off and the wide width creates plenty of stability. The foil box is located perfectly to optimize lift off and in-flight balance. Equipped with two front foot-straps and a mast track, the board can also be used as a normal windsurf board for light wind wave riding.

CONSTRUCTION
ON THE WATER
The PAPENOO WINDFOIL convertible is further reinforced on deck and around the foot-straps: the whole area running from the mast track to the foil insert is strengthened by DOUBLE BAMBOO CARBON construction.
Our team already knew the feeling of foiling with a kite but the first windsurfing tests brought in some new sensations! The difference between being on the water or in flight is even more significant with the windsurfing gear than with the kite. Everything becomes so soft and silent once in flight. The sensations are totally new and absolutely gripping. The efficiency of the foil in light winds is a real advantage as it becomes possible to use a much smaller rig for a given wind strength.
H "BAMBOO DECK" VERSION The BAMBOO DECK construction has been proven for many years of production and offer a weight to resistance ratio with great reliability. The deck features a layer of bamboo to provide a tough impact and crushing resistance while the many layers of reinforcement on the bottom ensures solid strength. H "PRO CARBON" VERSION The PRO CARBON construction is built from layers of glass, bamboo and some bi-axial carbon fabrics. The bottom features an HD foam sandwich with glass layers and some bi-axial carbon fabrics. The brushed carbon finish ensures the weight remains minimal. This construction brings an impressive resistance combined with absolute light weight. These boards feature an amazing strength to weight ratio and remain amongst the highest performing and lightest boards on the market.
The PAPENOO truly is an incredible & extremely versatile board, proving excellent in so many different disciplines: SUP, Windsurf, Supfoil & Windfoil! This board is available in the following sizes: h 7’7’’ x 29” - 110 L h 7’11” x 30.5” - 123 L
