I've had the opportunity to use all wings for full sessions (F One for almost a year as my personal) and wanted to share some feedback for those interested in the different brands.
Naish 4.6m price $720-$825 (price difference for just the different color)
Pro's-
Good power range
Solid construction, very little flex
Cons-
Handles suck, small and hard on the hands
Windows in the wrong spot, can't see through them effectively to the horizon. Have to lower or raise wing to see through them.
Wing isn't balanced well, when transferring hands wing doesn't fly neutral well
F One 4.2m price $850
Pro's-
Good power, low end really good getting up on foil
Light
Well balanced, luffs neutral well, transfers in hand well
Handles comfortable and skinny
Cons-
Only 3 handles. All other wings had handles all the way down center strut for fine tuning during flight.
To save weight, they gave up durability. Noticed wing didn't perform as well as it was getting soft after 8 months of use.(just sold it)
Ozone Wasp 4m price $749
Pro's-
Durable and relatively light, stiff
Handles are soft and comfortable
Y handles off the center strut to leading edge, very practical and useful
Good power range, low and top end
Cons-
none so far (just bought this one yesterday and did 2 hr session)
So far I think the Naish is on their 2nd or 3rd model, F One still just has V1, and Ozone V1 (heard V2 coming Sept possibly with windows). With that said, still amazed they're not doing a better job.
As you can tell, I think Ozone is ticking all the boxes so far and would recommend them over the others. I have friends that have their Wasp wings from last year and they're still performing good.
Just a note on windows, I don't feel they're really necessary on wings smaller than 5m. Easy to "peek" around the wing on the smaller ones. I have a 6m Ozone and the thing is a beast. But when the wind is that light to use the 6m there's almost nobody around anyways. So no bid deal right now.
Any questions let me know. I'm pretty much full time winging these days. Don't foil surf/sup as it's lost it's spark...too much work LOL! Can't believe how stocked I am for summer flatness and wind on Maui's northside!
Here's proof...
