Description
The new F-ONE QUEST pocket wing, is made for those moments when you just want to head offshore, follow the bumps, and let yourself wander. Accessible and intuitive, it opens the door to pocket winging and downwinding to everyone, from first-timers to seasoned riders.
F-ONE QUEST FEATURES
- Accessible, comfortable, and intuitive: excellent depower, increased control and stability, and smoothness even in difficult conditions.
- Easy stashing and compact size: softer canopy and shorter lines for easy stashing and reduced volume when folded.
- New Double Dynamic Bridle System: for ultra-precise bar feedback and intuitive power management.
- Reduced connection points in A/C: the bridles are connected at only two points on the ends of the bar, without a central “B” line. This offers total freedom of hand position on the bar and reduces potential tangles.
- Pack Assist: a new bridle architecture drastically reduces the tension of the bridles during the packing phase. Packing is faster, more efficient, and more comfortable.
- New vertical bar: a more ergonomic design for better grip and maximum depower.
- Freedom to wander about: designed for those who prioritize comfort and downwind performance over speed and ultimate upwind performance.
The QUEST’s softer canopy, shorter lines and simplified panel layout, create a pocket wing that’s very light, smooth in the turns, and painless to stow and redeploy. With its outstanding depower, easy pumping ability and great stability, the QUEST always feels steady and predictable, even when conditions get rough. It may not deliver as much speed as the FRIGATE, but it makes up for it with control and comfort that lets you ease effortlessly into the bumps.
The QUEST introduces a new Double Dynamic Bridle System that makes the pocket wing feel more direct, easier to handle, and that minimizes the risk of tangling. It also delivers smooth, intuitive power control with precise feedback through the bar.
WHO’S IT FOR?
Beginners will appreciate the extra back-hand feel when sheeting in and effortless depower that simplifies their first sessions, while experienced riders will enjoy a great compromise between lightness and high-end performance, as well as the pocket wing’s natural balance.
The new ergonomic bar improves grip and comfort, while keeping everything simple and efficient to give you plenty of confidence and control. This vertical bar also further increases the maximum depower range of the QUEST, allowing riders to control the pocket wing more effectively and intuitively, as well as comfortably ride across a wide wind range even without a harness line.
Compact, light and forgiving, the QUEST strips everything back to what really matters: it’s all about setting off and seeing where the swell takes you.

D-RIBS
This technical principle, derived from paragliding, allows for better profile definition and a reduction in the number of bridle lines. This technology reinforces the sail’s structure and ensures better stability; the pocket wing is faster, stiffer, and performs better upwind.
