  • Why F-One built the Plume, and why it is not a parawing
  • How the Frigate came together so quickly with a new design partner
  • How Julien picks between wing, parawing and Plume by wind strength
  • The early grief the Plume got, and how people changed their minds
  • Why you should be able to downwind before buying a parawing
  • How parawing has changed the foils Julien rides, like the Eagle 990 and Seven Seas 1300

  • Carving tails, and why F-One is not keen on a universal mast connection

About this episode

What is this Plume thing and why should we get one? This has been the question on a tonne of peoples minds recently, and who better to answer the question than Mr F-One.

A great catchup with Julien about the newest kids on the block - the Plume and the Frigate - and also a great delve into where foil design might be going, after these new disciplines have rocked up and turned things on their head.
