F-One Unik (2013)

UNIK FREERIDE BOARD

---

A board that combines performance and accessibility in all conditions. The UNIK is designed in making your riding more accessible, with performance and versatility as the main focus. Light, with a single concave bottom and a freeride
shape, the UNIK is highly effective and offers a quick early planning, while keeping it under control in strong winds. It gives you confidence from your first runs and you
will easily forget your board so you can focus solely on your moves and/or your kite.

Available in one size:
136x40

Features

Woodcore
The wood forms the heart of your board and gives it most of its mechanical properties: strength, flex and resilience (ability to return to its original shape)

Dynamic Flex
Flexibility and impact absorption are synonymous with comfort; however comfort does not mean sacrificing control and performance. It is difficult to reach this compromise, and this is the main reason behind the development of the Dynamic Flex, which can absorb the chop, without compromising the control and edging.

Direct drive
The Direct Drive technology is present on our boards since 2001, and refers to a board with minimal thickness, a 100% wood core and a 100% fiberglass envelope. These interlocking elements meet the F-ONE standards for a kite
board and provide maximum durability. The Direct Drive translate into a precise board, quick and active as it erases the flaws of the water surface, collecting its energy and giving it back for the best performance. The feeling of riding a rock solid board always in contact with the water without suffering from it is even greater.

ABS inverted rail
We sought to gain support and a more progressive and constant contact in the water. Starting with a surfing rail type, we have only kept the bottom part and the result is a reversed rail profile. Its entry into the water is more gradual and the board feedback is softer.

UNIBOX system and RESPONSE fins
The patented UNIBOX system and RESPONSE fins have a radical effect: the asymmetrical profile improves the general ride and early planning. However, it is the flex of the RESPONSE fins that gives amazing rail-grip as well as pop and forgiveness on heavy freestyle landings. The fins actually twist under pressure which alleviates pressure at the same time as keeping control.

Platinium pads and ergonomic straps

Technology
Dual Density Foam

• The upper layer is the softest, will absorb small impacts and will mold the pads to the exact shape of your foot.
• The lower layer has a higher density and will absorb the strongest impacts.

Injected Foam

• The choice of the density and its inner quality of memorizing its form are essential for the pad’s comfort and its durability.

Hollow cones

• To maximize the pad’s cushioning and reduce its weight, we have placed holes where the pressure when riding permits.

Ergonomics
Cant

• Allows for the ankle to be positioned in the leg axis and to wedge the foot on the outside for the ideal riding position.

Anti-Forward Profile

• The height under the front section is higher to prevent forward slipping.

Anti-twist

• The heel is clamped on the outside, thereby limiting the torque.
