Since its creation, the TRAX has always been F-ONE most technologically advanced board. For 2010, we have focused on the twist and flex control using a 3D carbon cross in the upper layer: the Twist Carbon Control was born.

Its 3D bottom shape, composed of a double concave shape, lateral V and channels makes the TRAX5 our fastest board. It also allows us to use a higher scoop for greater comfort and carving.

The Thorn CC delivers the most direct power for light wind efficiency, upwind drive, and explosive freestyle pop on-demand, it was no small project to improve upon the performance of the 2009 Thorn. Kevin Langeree was unwilling to compromise any amount of the Thorn's speed and power that has been absolutely proven by his competition excellence in the various conditions around the world.
The Thorn's moderately more parallel outline, wider tips and low rocker line perfectly balances locked-in grip with essential control, our greatest achievement for 2010 was from continued construction development where we managed to combine truly the best attributes of the 2009 Thorn and Thorn FC.
The winning combination for the 2010 Thorn cc construction was discovered with the same top and bottom laminates as the 2009 Thorn, but replacing its I-beam core with carbon fiber composites from the FC. The end result is a new Thorn that has the solid control of the 2009 Thorn, with the responsive liveliness of the FC.

The first question is always, "What's up with the snowboard outline on a kiteboard?" The answer is simple.
What makes round tips the right shape on a snowboard is the same reason its right for a kiteboard. At the nose, the round tip allows for the cleanest water entry possible without catching, tripping or splashing. At the tail, the round tip focuses the board's power down the centerline, where it is easier to control than at the edge.
The Sol's round outline, which is great for control especially at higher speeds, is combined with an efficient rocker to promote planing in lighter winds.
Unlike other designs, where riders may need to adjust their position to find the board's balance, the Sol's entire board is a sweet-spot. There is no tricky balance required, and no hick-ups. Just smooth edging, through even the worst chop. The Sol is where snowboarding meets wakeboarding.
