Hi Danbi,
They have a pretty good Facebook site, as you may already know: www.facebook.com/F.ONESUP (and there's a link there to their website, too).

I got an Anakao 9'1 secondhand recently but have only had one surf on it, in head-high beach break waves with about 10 knots of onshore wind. I was coming off a 10'6.5 Nalu (which I have kept because I love it as a longboard style SUP). First impressions of the F-One: Nice and light. Super loose compared to the Nalu. Seems to get into the waves well and seems plenty fast for me on the waves. It was also pretty stable once I got used to the reduced length, even with little bit of chop. Nice nose for punching through whitewater and waves and I reckon a couple more surfs will see me fall a lot less. It seems to me like a good board for the sort of conditions I think you get over there (smallish swell, sometimes a bit breezy, maybe not much of an interval between waves . . . I wouldn't really know!). And the build quality seems good to me. Time will tell, I suppose. I googled F-One and searched this forum and standupzone and there's not a hellavu lot of info out there. I think they were big in kiting and branched out (but I could be wrong). Anyway - I like mine a lot, so far (but I got it in near new condition with a paddle for less than half the new price - so that helps!)
If you can get a decent deal on it, go for it, I say.

One other thing - it was first or second wave I needed to put my foot in front of where the grip ended to paddle in to it. So get some grip, or wax for your front foot, you will be glad you did.
