The F-ONE TARGET combines the efficiency of a ram-air foil kite with direct steering, powerful lift and intuitive handling. Developed primarily for kite foiling, it delivers power on demand, tight turns, stable drift and efficient upwind and downwind performance. It is also officially recommended for freeriding with a twin tip and for snowkiting. Ram-Air Foil Kite Mid-Aspect Design Direct Steering Powerful Lift Light-Wind Performance Sizes 6–15m² Why Choose the F-ONE TARGET? Choose the TARGET if you want a foil kite that combines user-friendliness with performance, speed and precise control. It reacts immediately to small bar inputs, generates power when you sheet in and quickly releases traction when you sheet out. Its stability and drift make it especially appealing for carving and downwind kite foiling, while its lift, boost and hangtime extend its capabilities to freeride twin-tip sessions, jumps, loops and snowkiting. Official F-ONE Riding Program Foil Kite foiling is the TARGET’s primary program. F-ONE designed it for precise control, carving, efficient angles and rapid power adjustment while riding a hydrofoil. Freeride The TARGET combines intuitive handling with speed, lift and playfulness for recreational freeride sessions. Performance Strong power, efficient upwind and downwind angles, high-end control and instant steering give the TARGET its performance-oriented character. Speed The TARGET accelerates quickly and is designed to keep pace with the speed of the foil while maintaining comfortable pull. Best Riding Styles Kite Foiling The TARGET is developed with kite foiling in mind. Its direct steering, power control, drift stability and efficient angles support fast freeriding, carving and downwind riding. Light-Wind Riding F-ONE positions the TARGET for light- to mid-wind conditions. The 13m² and 15m² sizes are optimized for stability at the zenith in ultra-light wind. Fast Freeride Efficient upwind performance, reduced lateral pull and controllable acceleration allow riders to travel quickly and comfortably across the water. Carving and Loops F-ONE recommends the smaller 6m², 7m² and 9m² sizes for riders who enjoy looping and tight carving. These sizes are described as reactive, fast-flying and easy to handle. Twin-Tip Jumping The TARGET can also be used with a twin tip. F-ONE highlights its lift, hangtime and ability to return upwind efficiently. Snowkiting On snow, the TARGET delivers fast acceleration, dynamic handling and strong lift for jumps and loops. Rider-level guidance: F-ONE describes the TARGET as simple, intuitive and user-friendly, but does not publish a formal beginner, intermediate or advanced skill-level rating. Steering and Turning Direct Bar Response The TARGET reacts instantly to light bar input. Its direct steering helps the rider know where the kite is positioned and place it accurately before a maneuver. Sharp, Tight Turns Stable wingtips allow the kite to complete tight turns, supporting narrow carving lines and responsive loops. F-ONE does not publish a light, medium or heavy bar-pressure rating for the TARGET. The official description confirms direct steering and an immediate response to small bar movements. Power and Depower Power on Demand The TARGET offers substantial power potential through the bar throw. Sheeting in accelerates the kite and produces the power, lift or boost required at that moment. Immediate Power Release Sheeting out allows the kite to lose traction immediately, helping the rider control speed and cruise with less pull. Comfortable Pull F-ONE tuned the TARGET to accelerate with the foil while maintaining comfortable power delivery and reduced lateral pull. Gust Control The kite’s profile provides stability in gusty and turbulent conditions. After a gust, F-ONE states that the kite returns easily to the 12 o’clock position. Drift and Relaunch Stable Drift The TARGET’s profile and weight distribution were designed for drift stability. As the kite travels through the window, it is designed to float back without collapsing. Very-Light-Wind Relaunch F-ONE states that relaunch remains possible even in very light wind. This extends the TARGET’s usability during marginal kite-foiling sessions. Lift, Boost and Hangtime Powerful Lift The TARGET is designed to deliver lift and boost when requested through the bar. F-ONE states that even the smaller sizes can produce high jumps in very little wind. Large-Size Hangtime The 13m² and 15m² sizes are intended for light-wind freeriding and maximum lift and hangtime during jumps. Mid-Aspect Foil-Kite Design The TARGET uses a mid-aspect design that combines stability, power, lift and user-friendliness. F-ONE tunes the aspect ratio individually for each size, giving the smaller kites a particularly dynamic and powerful feel. High-speed air-intake valves with optimized shapes allow the kite to inflate quickly. F-ONE states that the wingtips fill almost immediately during setup. Construction 38g Canopy Material F-ONE builds the TARGET with a robust, long-lasting 38g canopy material designed to provide increased waterproofness. Reinforced Attachment Points Insignia half-circle reinforcement is used at every attachment point to increase durability. The official product page lists one TARGET construction using 38g canopy material. It does not present separate standard, Pro, TEC, Brainchild or other premium TARGET versions.

You want direct, precise steering. You enjoy tight carving and loops. You need stable drift for downwind riding. You want controllable power through the bar throw. You ride in light- to mid-wind conditions. You also want to jump with a twin tip or snowkite. Consider Another Kite If... You prioritize forgiving all-terrain freeride and reduced control input—consider the HALO. Your primary goal is competitive foil racing—consider the DIABLO V.5. You specifically want an inflatable leading-edge kite rather than a ram-air foil kite.

Control Bar F-ONE’s TARGET size chart specifies a 50 cm FOIL Bar for the 6m² and a 60 cm FOIL Bar for the 7m² through 15m² sizes. Every size is specified with 15-meter lines. Confirm whether a control bar is included or sold separately in the specific Windance product offer. Frequently Asked Questions Is the F-ONE TARGET an inflatable kite? F-ONE categorizes the TARGET as a ram-air foil kite. It fills through high-speed air-intake valves rather than using the construction described for an inflatable leading-edge kite. What is the TARGET best for? Kite foiling is its primary program. F-ONE also recommends it for fast freeride, light wind, carving, jumps, loops, twin-tip riding and snowkiting. Does the TARGET drift well? Yes. F-ONE designed its profile and weight distribution for drift stability and states that the kite floats back without collapsing as it travels through the wind window. How does the TARGET control power? Sheeting in accelerates the kite and produces power, lift or boost. Sheeting out immediately reduces traction, allowing the rider to control speed through the bar throw. Can the TARGET relaunch in light wind? F-ONE states that relaunch is possible even in very light wind, which is especially valuable during marginal kite-foiling sessions. Which TARGET sizes are best for carving and loops? F-ONE recommends the 6m², 7m² and 9m² sizes for riders who enjoy looping and narrow carving turns. Which sizes are designed for the lightest wind? The 13m² and 15m² sizes are optimized for stability at the zenith in ultra-light wind and for maximum lift and hangtime. Is the TARGET a race kite? F-ONE positions the TARGET as a performance freeride foil kite. The DIABLO V.5 is F-ONE’s officially registered competition racing model. Show more
