F-ONE Papenoo Pro Convertible Surf SUP
DESCRIPTION
Its compact shape naturally provides the right balance over the foil and makes it more manoeuvrable in flight.
Its wide outline at the tail provides enough volume to be in the right position for lift off and the wide width creates plenty of stability.
The rocker is fast with a deep single concave to emphasize the speed.
The PAPENOO CONVERTIBLE comes with a twin track system on the hull as well as 2 M6 inserts.
This allows to have the foil in a forward position for SUP and Wingfoil performances. To windfoil, move the foil to the back of the tracks.
A mast track is on the deck as well as 4 footstraps inserts for windfoiling. The board can also be used as a normal windsurf board for light wind wave riding.
The deck construction has been reinforced under the feet area.
CONSTRUCTION
The PRO CARBON construction is built from layers of glass, bamboo and some bi-axial carbon fabrics. The bottom features an HD foam sandwich with glass layers and some bi-axial carbon fabrics. The brushed carbon finish ensures the weight remains minimal. This construction brings an impressive resistance combined with absolute light weight. These boards feature an amazing strength to weight ratio and remain amongst the highest performing and lightest boards on the market.

Our SUP boards benefit from the BAMBOO SANDWICH TECHNOLOGY construction. Every layer of bamboo is sandwiched between two layers of fiberglass or between a layer of carbon. This allows the sandwich technology to emphasize the characteristics of the bamboo. The final result is a light structure that is super strong and extremely reliable.
For all surfers one of the inconveniences of a SUP is the large size of the rails, too big to dig into a turn. So, how do we make a sup with a thin rail without losing the volume of the board? The answer is the Beveled rail.
They are small flat lateral sections in V shapes, which allows us to reduce the thickness of the rail in certain sections (1). The other advantage is that they reduce the planing surface of the board (2) which therefore reduces drag. The combination of a thinner rail and slightly narrower width allows the board to get a better edge into the turns and a tighter arc.
On the deck, the board is built using a full layer of carbon fiber over which is laid the bamboo sheet.
Then a final layer of fiberglass is laminated on top, which ensures extreme durability and an amazing light weight.
This sandwich construction (high density foam + fiberglass + carbon) provides the boards with a strong resistance and a lighter weight.
The carbon fibers are laid +45° and -45° onto the board therefore avoiding any fibers at 0° to preserve the flex of the board whilst achieving higher mechanical performances. This construction improves the weight/resistance ratio of Carbon Series models which clearly feature among the lightest and best performing boards on the market.
The twin track system with lateral spacing of 90mm is becoming an industry standard.
This system is compatible with all foils featuring a top plate with 4 fastening bolts. The length of the tracks enables some room to adjust the position of the foil on the board to reach everyone’s prefered balance.
