2026 Slingshot Glide Craft V1 Wing Foil Board
Efficient takeoffs, balanced stability, and direct foil control in one versatile shape.
The 2026 Slingshot Glide Craft V1 combines the pitch stability and efficient hull of the Flow Craft with the dependable roll stability of the Wing Craft. Its tri-surface displacement-planing hull accelerates smoothly and releases cleanly, helping riders get onto foil with less pumping. Once airborne, the lightweight Bamboo Sandwich construction provides a direct, predictable connection for freeriding, carving, transitions, and progression.

Why Choose the Glide Craft V1?
Effortless Lift-Off
The tri-surface hull builds speed efficiently and transitions smoothly from displacement to planing, reducing the effort and pumping required to reach foil speed.
Stable in Every Direction
Added length and carefully shaped rails provide both front-to-back pitch stability and side-to-side roll control for more predictable starts, transitions, and touchdowns.
Direct Foil Connection
Bamboo Sandwich construction creates a stiff board platform that transfers rider input efficiently, producing responsive control without an overly nervous feel.
One Board for Progression
Balanced takeoff performance, stability, agility, and touchdown recovery make the Glide Craft a versatile option for developing riders and experienced freeriders.
Technical Features
Tri-Surface Displacement-Planing Hull
The progressive bottom shape moves efficiently through displacement mode, builds speed, and releases cleanly as the board transitions onto foil.
Pitch and Roll Stability
The longer outline supports front-to-back stability, while the rail shape maintains side-to-side balance for a planted and predictable platform.
Bamboo Sandwich Construction
A bamboo-reinforced sandwich layup increases board stiffness, durability, and response while maintaining a competitive overall weight.
Clean Tail Release
A defined tail edge reduces drag and helps water separate cleanly from the board when accelerating into takeoff.
Max Trax Foil Tracks
The long foil boxes provide 14.5 inches of usable adjustment, allowing riders to fine-tune mast position for different foils, rider weights, and stance preferences.
Structural Foil-Track Support
The extended tracks also act as longitudinal stringers beneath the rider’s back foot, increasing stiffness through the foil-mounting area.
Tri-Strap Inserts
Insert positions support a traditional three-strap layout for riders who want additional control during carving, jumping, and higher-speed riding.
Offset Front-Strap Options
Additional front-foot positions allow riders to personalize their stance for regular or goofy riding while maintaining proper balance over the foil.
EVA Nose Scrape Strip
An EVA protective strip along the nose helps guard against scratches and minor impacts during transportation, storage, and everyday handling.
Full EVA Deck Pad
The traction pad provides grip, comfort, and usable stance space for strapless riding, foot changes, pumping, and transitions.

Choosing Your Glide Craft Size
70L & 80L
Compact choices for lighter or experienced riders who already have consistent water starts and want lower swing weight for waves, carving, and more agile riding.
90L
The middle of the range combines manageable width with useful flotation, making it a versatile option for intermediate riders and confident freeriding.
105L
Added volume and length improve stability and takeoff consistency while retaining the Glide Craft’s responsive, all-around character.
120L
The largest size provides the most flotation and stability for progression, heavier riders, lighter winds, or anyone prioritizing repeatable starts.
General guidance: More volume provides greater stability and easier starts, while less volume creates a more compact and agile ride. Rider weight, skill, foil size, wind strength, and water conditions should all be considered.
Foil and Footstrap Setup
Foil Compatibility
The adjustable Max Trax system accepts standard top-plate foil hardware and provides enough positioning range for many foil brands and riding disciplines.
Strapped or Strapless
Ride strapless for simple foot movement and progression, or add straps for jumping, higher-speed control, and a more connected stance.
Hardware note: Foil mounting hardware is not included with the board. Use the correct bolts, washers, and hardware supplied or recommended for your foil mast.
