Slingshot

Slingshot is especially relevant for wing foiling, kite foiling and modular hydrofoil setups. The range includes wings, foil boards, front wings, rear tails, masts and One-Lock parts, so it works well for riders who want a structured system rather than a mix of unrelated components.

For wing riders, Slingshot offers handheld wings and foil board options. For foil riders, the One-Lock system gives a clear platform for matching front wings, tails and masts. For kite foilers, Slingshot also offers kite-specific front wing options within the One-Lock range.

If you are new to wing foiling, start with our What is Wing Surfing? guide and beginner wingfoil setups collection before choosing individual parts.

One-Lock is Slingshot’s foil platform for connecting compatible front wings, tails and masts. The key point for buyers is compatibility: One-Lock parts should be selected as a system, not as random individual components.

Before ordering, check which front wing, rear tail, mast and any required hardware match your intended setup. The One-Lock front wing you choose will shape the feel of the foil, while the tail and mast influence stability, response and control.

Useful related categories include front wings, rear stabilisers, foil masts, complete foil setups and foil screws.

Start by deciding what you want the foil to do. A more forgiving front wing is usually better for early lift, lower speed control and progression. A glide-focused front wing is more relevant for efficiency, light wind, downwind-style riding or carrying speed between bumps. Kite-specific front wings should be matched to kite foil use rather than assumed suitable for every wing foil rider.

• Slingshot One-Lock Ease Front Wing — a sensible place to start for riders looking for a more accessible Slingshot foil path.
• Slingshot One-Lock Glide Front Wing — worth comparing if glide, efficiency and lighter-wind performance are priorities.
• Slingshot One-Lock Kite Front Wings — aimed at riders building a compatible kite foil setup.

If you are choosing between sizes, send us your weight, board size, ability level and usual wind range so we can help narrow the choice.

The front wing creates the main lift, but the tail and mast have a big effect on how the setup feels. The tail influences pitch stability, pumping, turning and drag. The mast affects stiffness, ride height, control and how directly the foil responds underfoot.

• Slingshot One-Lock Carve Tail 200 — a tail option to compare if carving and turning feel matter.
• Slingshot One-Lock Verse Tail 270 — a tail option to compare for a more balanced One-Lock setup.
• Slingshot One-Lock Turbo Tail 180 — a smaller tail option for riders tuning speed and response.
• Slingshot One-Lock Aluminium Mast — an aluminium mast route for building a Slingshot setup.
• Slingshot One-Lock Carbon Mast — a carbon mast option for riders looking at a lighter, stiffer build.
• Slingshot One-Lock HM Carbon Mast — a higher-modulus carbon mast route for more committed riders.

Choose the tail and mast as part of the full system rather than treating them as isolated upgrades.

For wing foiling, the handheld wing needs to match your weight, board, foil size, wind range and ability. A bigger wing can help in lighter wind, but it can feel harder to manage in stronger conditions. A smaller wing is easier to handle when powered, but may need more wind or a more efficient foil.

• Slingshot SlingWing V6 — a Slingshot handheld wing option for riders comparing freeride wing setups.
• Slingshot SlingWing NXT V2 — a premium Slingshot wing route for riders comparing higher-end wing options.
• Slingshot One-Lock Wing QuickStart Package — a package route for riders who want a more complete Slingshot wing foil setup.

Board choice matters just as much as foil choice. A board that is too small can slow progression, while a board that is too big may feel cumbersome once you improve. Think about your weight, ability, take-off method, local wind strength and whether you want wing, downwind, light-wind or crossover use.

• Slingshot Glide Craft V1 — a Slingshot foil board option to compare for glide-focused wing, foil and longer-line riding.
• Slingshot Flow Craft V2 — a Slingshot foil board option for riders comparing freeride and performance wing foil board routes.

To compare alternatives, browse foil boards, wing foil boards, downwind foil boards and SUP foil boards.

Slingshot kit works best when the board, foil, mast, tail and wing are chosen as a system. A rider learning wing foiling, a kite foiler, a light-wind freerider and a downwind-focused rider may all need very different setups even if they are shopping from the same brand collection.

Our Lymington Try It Now service is designed for serious wing and foil buyers who want product matching, setup advice and demo support where suitable. It is especially useful if you are comparing complete systems or choosing between Slingshot and other foil platforms.

If you are unsure, contact us with your weight, ability level, current setup, local conditions and what you want to improve.
