F-One Strike Cwc Aluula 2024
Our Compact Wing Concept (CWC) patent continues to prove its effectiveness for large wing surfacesin light winds.
This new STRIKE CWC, the fruit of the developments made on our fourth STRIKE,offers ever more efficient planing andpumping. In flight, its perfect balance and unique forwardtraction ensure exceptional glide. The ALUULA struts reduce the inertia of every maneuver andenhance the feeling of lightness when riding.•Optimized design for perfect balance in flight and new forward traction•ALUULA on all three struts for greater lightness, strength, and performance•HITEX and TECHNOFORCE for increased durability•Intuitive pumping for easy planing starts•Equipped with our new interchangeable handle system•Thequintessential light-wind weaponAllthedesign innovations from our fourth STRIKE have been applied to this STRIKE CWC. This wingfeaturesonce more a super intuitive pumpingwitha certain flexibility that makes it easy to startplaning without having to expend a lot of energy or learn a special technique. Each pumping motionsmoothlypropels you forward, guaranteeing aninstantaneous take-off and more efficiency than ever.The aerodynamics of this wing havenaturallybeen optimized for exceptional performance in lightwind. In flight, the STRIKE CWC is perfectly balanced and easy to forget about. This incredibleforward traction, inspired by the new STRIKE, offers a unique glide, enabling moreenjoyableandprolonged sessions. The CWC makesgoing upwind easy,and boasts an impressive highendas wellso you can absorb the gusts if the wind picks up.Materials:The leading edge of this fourth STRIKE CWC remains in HITEX 158g and178g.This high tenacitypolyester offers great resistance to elongation and therefore greater durability and performances.BothHITEX weights are perfectly distributed to account for the different tensions, high pressures, andweight distribution in this area.The innovation of this wing lies in the strategic placement of ALUULA on its three struts. Thanks to themechanical properties of this light and resistant material, the central strut is now thinner. This results inless drag and a noticeable reduction in weight, which also favors freefly and handling duringdownwinders or jibes. Finally, the ALUULA struts reduce inertia during maneuvers,transitions,andpumping.Guaranteeing performance and durability, our thicker TECHNOFORCE™/D2 in 66g hasbeen placedon the trailing edge where tensions are important and resistance essential. The rest of the wing’scanopy is in TECHNOFORCE™/D2 in 52g.Design:The central strut of the CWC is now completely straight, which allows us to better control itsdeformation and possible twisting, while reducing drag. As a result, the infill is a bit lower and deformsless, and we've extended it almost all the way to theback. Our innovative Load Diffuser is reduced forweight gain, especially during freefly.We've also added dihedral angle to improve stability and keep the wingtips out of the water whenpumping and riding. The new leading and trailing edge tensions help keep the profile smooth andstable for incredible performance and control.Thewing’s bodyfeatures a horizontal cut to optimize the weight of the seams on these large-surface,light-wind wings.The trailing edge features a vertical cut in 66g for ideal traction control.A small radialcut is implemented on the back of the strut to spread tensions.Finally, theLoad Diffuser further helpsmaintain the profile sleek and efficient, leading to the ultimate stability, performances, and longevity.
The accurate panel layout, precise load management and staggered seams continue to bring exceptional control of the profile. The materials are also perfectly distributed to account for the different tensions, high pressures, and weight distribution in each specific area.Handles:The new CWCis fitted with our new interchangeable handle system. Soft, hybrid or rigid handles, you now get to customize handles at your preference.The light wind revolution:Our Compact Wing Concept (CWC) patent allows adding more surface into a given wingspan without compromising lightness and performances. The two extra struts increase the wing’s surface without increasing the leading edge’s length and diameter. This specific geometry brings great power with ease of use and therefore a light feel withless wingspan.The compact outline makes it easy to obtain an incredible start when planing and pumping. Highly maneuverable and easy to flip around when on the water, the CWC lets you ride effortlessly, making you feel like you’re using a 5m², and with wingtips naturally staying away from the surface of the water.With a refineddesign, the use of ultra-light and resistant materials, a newand efficient pumping, exceptional glide, perfect balance and a precise layout of every material, the fourth STRIKE CWC will continue to be a game changer for your light wind days.
