Carving is (still) not a crime
The first version of the F-ONE SK8 took the foiling world by storm, quickly becoming the go-to choice for surf foilers and wing foilers alike. Kite foilers also enjoyed its high top-speed and glide-y feeling, while downwind riders loved its ability to playfully carve in the bumps in the open ocean, making this foil the most versatile on the market.
F-ONE is now back with the latest SK8, offering everything you loved about the original, but even better thanks to its new and optimized carbon layup bringing tenfold sensations on the water.
- Aspect Ratio: 8.0
- New carbon layup for enhanced sensations and performance
- Its outline makes it easy to turn and push hard during fast and controlled carves
- The subtle design of the lobe between maneuverability and glide allows to surf freely while maintaining efficient pumping
- The wingtips’ design is made to hit the foam and breach the wingtip without turbulence or ventilation
- Its unique speed makes it a perfect foil for surfing from offshore swells to the shorebreak with a wing
- Our monobloc construction guarantees rigidity, durability, and extraordinary glide
Available in 550cm² / 650 cm² / 750 cm² / 850 cm² / 950 cm² / 1050 cm² / 1150 cm²
Front wing only – comes with foil cover / Full plane – comes with the recommended Monobloc Tail Carving XS 140, 160 or XXS 200 plus bolts.

Features
New carbon layup.
Thanks to in-depth research, rigorous testing and the know-how of our R&D team, the SK8’s new carbon layup delivers higher speeds while guaranteeing perfect control and greater stability.
Turns become smoother, rail-to-rail transitions more precise, and the foil’s roll motion is improved, offering exceptional maneuverability. More predictable, the new SK8 delivers constant power, making it super intuitive to control.
The use of High Modulus Carbon, integrated into F-ONE’s Dynamic Structural Design, leads to even more rigidity and dependability. Finally, this layup has been finely tuned and optimized so that each foil size can deliver the best performance.
The SK8 has been designed to surf.
Its overall shape provides a fine balance between glide and maneuverability, which allows the user to tear a wave apart and then pump back to the peak effortlessly.
It doesn’t just turn. It carves.
Maneuverability is nothing without power, speed and control. Lay into turns with ease and speed, push through the carve and see how the SK8 holds a steady line and delivers even more speed.
It is meant to stay in the pocket.
With specific wingtips design, the SK8 is able to hit white water without too many turbulences, allowing surf-style turns and breaching pretty much any part of the foil.
Carve, pump, fly.
Take the SK8 for a wing ride, and you’ll feel a fast, easy-to-go-upwind foil that you can surf all the way from the offshore swell until the impact zone.
Technology
HM
The High Modulus carbon fibre layup is 1.5x stiffer than the regular carbon fibre used in other constructions. The percentage of high modulus fibre has been carefully adjusted to obtain the best stiffness in both bending and torsion while keeping enough comfort for any kind of practice.
Monobloc structure
Having a stiff and solid assembly between all parts of the foil is key to making it perform at its best as well as being easy to handle.
The connection of the front wing with the fuselage is highly stressed and loaded, so it is one of the critical areas of the assembly in terms of structures. The Monobloc wings are molded together with the fuselage in one shot, thereby removing the connection and the chances for unwanted and parasitic movements.
The structural fibers of the fuselage are spread into the wing to achieve the smoothest and lightest connection. It is also incredibly stiff and provides absolute control at all times, with the foil responding perfectly to all of the riders’ input.
When the overall dimensions are too large for convenient transportation, a connection is set into the fuselage, behind the mast where the loads are smaller.
TITAN Connection
The Titan connection enables a very stiff and direct connection between two parts, locking efficiently any movement in all directions. It’s format is compact which is hydrodynamically efficient and very easy to use, assemble and disassemble.
