Authentic Surf Experience with Kiteboard Performance

Riding the F-ONE SHADOW isn’t just an activity; it’s a sensation—one where the wave dictates your rhythm, and the board answers your every call. Built from the DNA of traditional surfboards, yet engineered for kiteboarding power and demands, this board performs beautifully in diverse wave conditions.

F-ONE SHADOW board Engineered for Powerful Wave Riding

The outline of the SHADOW draws from classic surfboard lines—narrow nose, curved rails, and a pulled-in tail. Yet, it incorporates subtle volume distribution and rocker adjustments optimized for kite-powered performance. The result is a board that lets you initiate tight bottom turns, carve open-face sections, and attack lips without hesitation.

• Thin rails increase grip and response on the wave face

• Refined rocker ensures early planing with optimal control

• Balanced outline enhances both stability and maneuverability

• Single to double concave bottom delivers fluid rail-to-rail transitions

• Rounded pin tail increases hold in powerful or steep wave sections

F-ONE SHADOW board High-Performance Construction

While the shape draws its heritage from surf, the construction reflects innovation. HD Foam Flex Composite construction allows for just the right flex and feedback. Whether you’re pushing vertical or gliding with style, the board responds predictably underfoot, even in the heaviest sections.F-ONE SHADOW board

• Full bamboo sandwich for strength and flex harmony

• HD foam under layers increases impact resistance

• Full deck and bottom reinforcement for superior durability

• Tail patch reinforcements allow confident foot pressure during explosive turns

Thruster Fin Setup for Dynamic Control

Unlike quad setups that sometimes feel too loose, the SHADOW’s thruster configuration provides pinpoint control and drive in all phases of the wave. The three-fin setup excels in both fast down-the-line runs and more vertical, aggressive surfing. Even when your kite is slack, the fins provide enough hold and direction to complete critical turns without stalling.F-ONE SHADOW board

• Futures® fin boxes compatible with a wide range of fin types

• Thruster setup provides speed, control, and release

• Ideal for tight, snappy surfing or drawn-out carves

F-ONE SHADOW board Wave-Ready from Side-Onshore to Hollow Reef Breaks

The F-ONE SHADOW board isn’t a one-wave-wonder. From beach break mush to barreling reef surf, it adapts with confidence. Its design enables fast rail-to-rail surfing while also allowing for smooth gliding when conditions require subtlety. This adaptability makes it a favorite of advanced riders seeking purity in their wave sessions.F-ONE SHADOW board

Versatile Performance in All Conditions

Whether you’re in cross-onshore slop or clean down-the-line perfection, the SHADOW delivers consistent feedback, flow, and style. It’s quick to plane, even with low kite power, and never feels like it’s dragging through turns. On days when conditions push limits, this board keeps your surfing in control.F-ONE SHADOW board

• Excellent upwind performance lets you stay in the peak zone

• Lightweight yet durable—built to handle travel and rough terrain

• Minimalist pad layout supports freedom of foot movement

• Responsive feel lets you disconnect from the kite and surf the wave alone

Strapless Freedom or Foot Strap Option

Prefer total freedom or more grip on big air hits? The SHADOW supports both. Though most riders go strapless for full surf-style authenticity, its reinforced strap inserts offer optionality without compromising performance. Go full surf or mix in freestyle tricks without changing boards.

• Customizable setup: ride strapless or add straps

• Inserts are unobtrusive—clean deck design

• Designed for maximum control regardless of style

Why the F-ONE SHADOW Board Stands Out

There are many boards in the wave-riding category. Few feel like an extension of your body. The SHADOW earns that rare distinction through meticulous design, premium construction, and a commitment to surf-style performance. Its strength lies in subtlety—the small refinements that come alive on the water, under real wave pressure.

Other boards may offer gimmicks or flashy visuals. The SHADOW offers results. It’s used by riders who know the difference, and once you try it, you’ll understand why it’s a favorite among discerning wave-focused kiteboarders worldwide.

F-ONE SHADOW board Technical Specifications

• SIZES
• User Manual(s)

For this new edition of the SHADOW, we have kept all the qualities of the existing board and made it a little faster with even more control.

Its shape and round pintail continue to offer the best glide and a maneuverability like no others. Designed to inspire confidence in every turn and rail-to-rail transfers, the camel deck and its moderate volume deliver the perfect amount of control.

This year, the SHADOW features a slightly deeper concave on the bottom in the area between the front and back feet, which increases its speed and planning potential. The board thus carries more speed and goes upwind better in order to catch even more waves. This new SHADOW feels even more at ease in a larger variety of waves, and it will surprise you with its acceleration potential in the turns, effortlessly projecting you to the next move or the next section.

F-ONE SHADOW board

The transition to the tail is slightly wider, which straightens the outline of the board in the area between the feet. This brings increased stability for a more relaxed ride and better low end, hence unveiling a new potential in lighter winds. The rails are sharper and thinner toward the tail as well, allowing for better control and crispier turns.

Perfectly balanced and comfortable, this new SHADOW handles speed exceptionally well and loves to make long carves just as much as super snappy turns. Changing feet, turning, and jibing are easy and effortless. It feels lively underfoot, providing a lot of feedback to engage big or for powerful vertical turns. Big, clean, and especially powerful waves suit this board and its high reactivity best, where it can truly show its speed potential and fantastic carving abilities.

The SHADOW is constructed using the HD Foam Flex Composite technology, with optimized flex for maximum reliability, comfort, and maneuverability. The mechanical characteristics achieved by this construction provide a lighter weight and a perfect, classical surfboard feel.

Shock absorbers are placed under the pad to increase the board’s durability and provide extra comfort since they effectively absorb all impacts for the riders.

The SHADOW is available in 5’4, 5’6 and 5’8. All sizes are equipped with a full pad and foot straps inserts. The 5’4 board come with a set of the F-ONE Flow Carbon XS fins. The 5’6 and 5’8 come with a set of F-ONE Flow Carbon M fins.

Terribly efficient and intuitive to ride, the SHADOW was designed for high-speed performance surfing. Agile, reactive, fast and precise on any wave, this board will let you charge like never before.
