A stable, confidence-building foil board with a full soft deck, forgiving nose and adjustable foil position.
The Slingshot Simulator Soft Top V2 is designed to make learning to kite foil safer and more approachable. Its wide, stable outline helps new riders manage starts and touchdowns, while the full EVA soft-top deck adds grip, comfort and protection.

Why You’ll Love It
Stable Learning Platform
The wide, friendly outline provides a steady platform for water starts, taxiing and learning to control the board before and during flight.
Safer Soft-Top Deck
Full-deck EVA padding adds cushioning and removes the exposed hard deck surface found on many performance foil boards.
Forgiving Touchdowns
A scooped nose helps the board rebound from accidental contact with the water instead of immediately catching and pitching the rider forward.
Setup That Grows With You
Adjustable foil tracks and several footstrap insert positions let riders refine balance, stance and foil placement as their skills develop.
Learning and Performance
- Wide outline: improves stability while getting onto the board and controlling it at lower speeds.
- Scooped nose: reduces pearling and helps the board recover after touch-and-go contact with the water.
- Concave deck: improves heel-to-toe response while helping riders locate the intended foot position by feel.
- Full EVA deck: supplies reliable grip, cushioning and a more comfortable learning surface.
- Adjustable foil track: allows forward and rearward foil positioning to suit rider size, ability and preference.
- Flexible stance options: supports two straps, one strap, half straps or completely strapless riding.
Design and Technology
Full Soft-Top Deck
Corduroy-textured EVA covers the complete deck, providing secure traction and cushioning for first-time foilers.
Scooped Nose
The raised nose is designed to shed water during touchdowns and help the board bounce back onto the surface instead of diving beneath it.
Concave Deck
The recessed standing area improves feedback and turning response while giving riders a tactile reference for proper foot placement.
Adjustable Foil Tracks
Twin foil tracks allow the mast position to be moved forward or backward to tune lift, balance and handling.
Multiple Footstrap Inserts
Several insert positions support different learning stages and stance preferences, including two-strap, single-strap and strapless configurations.
Beginner-Friendly Outline
The generous width and balanced shape prioritize stability and predictable control over the highly reactive feel of smaller expert foil boards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a hydrofoil included?
No. This listing is for the Simulator Soft Top V2 board only. The hydrofoil, mast and mounting hardware are sold separately.
Is this a conventional kite surfboard?
No. The Simulator is designed as a kite foil learning board. It uses adjustable foil tracks and is not configured with directional surfboard fins.
Are footstraps included?
No. Multiple strap insert positions are built into the board, but footstraps and mounting hardware are sold separately.
Can it be ridden without straps?
Yes. Riders can use two straps, one strap, half straps or a completely strapless setup depending on their learning stage and preference.
Why is the nose heavily scooped?
The raised nose helps prevent pearling and improves recovery when the board touches down during early flights.
What does the adjustable track change?
Moving the mast changes the board’s balance relative to the foil. This helps riders tune lift and front-foot pressure for their size and ability.
