Description
Presentation of the F-One “Papenoo” boards convertible for foil and windsurf
SHAPE
The compact shape naturally provides the right balance over the foil and makes it more maneuverable in flight. 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 rocker is fast with a deep single concave to emphasize the speed. The bottom of the board features the twin track system with two additional M6 inserts at the front. Fasten the front holes of the foil top plate into the two M6 inserts for SUP foiling and move the foil to the back of the tracks for wind foiling . Equipped with inserts for 4 foot-straps and a mast track, the board can also be used as a normal windsurf board for light wind wave riding.
CONSTRUCTION
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 reinforcement.
- BAMBOO DECK VERSION: F-One wind-foil Papenoo Convertible
The BAMBOO DECK construction has been proven for many years of production and offers a weight to resistance ratio with great reliability. The deck features a 2nd layer of bamboo to provide a tough impact and crushing resistance while the many layers of reinforcement on the bottom ensures solid strength. - PRO CARBON VERSION: F-One wind-foil Papenoo Pro- Convertible Carbon Series
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 that 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.
ON THE WATER
F-One team already knew the feeling of foiling with a kite but the first windsurfing tests brought in some new sensations! The sensations are totally new and absolutely gripping. Surfing the waves or a non-breaking swell up on a foil is truly magical. In windsurf mode everything becomes so silent and so smooth. 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.
The PAPENOO truly is an incredible & extremely versatile board, proving excellent in so many different disciplines: SUP, Windsurf, Supfoil & Windfoil!

Technology
| DEEP KF-BOX = PAPENOO Convertible = PAPENOO PRO CONVERTIBLE Carbon series F-ONE kitefoils are equipped with the fully conical Deep KF-BOX. Its shape makes it easy to connect and fits well with the thickness of the kite boards due to its moderate height. The Deep KF-BOX offers a perfect, tight support. | ||
| TWIN-TRACKS = PAPENOO Convertible = PAPENOO PRO CONVERTIBLE Carbon series The twin track system with lateral spacing of 90mm is becoming an industry standard. |  | This system is compatible with all foils featuring a top plate with 4 fastening bolts. The length of the tracks enables some room to adjust the position of the foil on the board to reach everyone’s prefered balance. |
| BEVELED RAILS = PAPENOO Convertible (only) For all surfers one of the inconveniences of a SUP is the large size of the rails, too big to dig into a turn. So, how do we make a sup with a thin rail without losing the volume of the board? The answer is the Beveled rail. |  | They are small flat lateral sections in V shapes, which allows us to reduce the thickness of the rail in certain sections (1). The other advantage is that they reduce the planing surface of the board (2) which therefore reduces drag. The combination of a thinner rail and slightly narrower width allows the board to get a better edge into the turns and a tighter arc. |
| BAMBOO DECK = PAPENOO Convertible (only) The top deck of the board is lined with a layer of bamboo. | BAMBOO Sandwich technology = PAPENOO Convertible (only) Our SUP boards benefit from the BAMBOO SANDWICH TECHNOLOGY construction. Every layer of bamboo is sandwiched between two layers of fiberglass or between a layer of carbon. This allows the sandwich technology to emphasize the characteristics of the bamboo. The final result is a light structure that is super strong and extremely reliable. |
|
| BAMBOO & CARBON DECK = PAPENOO PRO CONVERTIBLE Carbon series (only) On the deck, the board is built using a full layer of carbon fiber over which is laid the bamboo sheet. Then a final layer of fiberglass is laminated on top, which ensures extreme durability and an amazing light weight. | ||
