Wing Foil • Prone Foil • Tow Foil
Slingshot SKU: 1230454035 • Model: V1
A compact, high-performance foil board built for fast takeoffs, controlled touchdowns and cross-discipline versatility.
The Slingshot Launch Pad V1 is designed for experienced riders who want immediate performance across wing, prone and tow-in foiling. Its compact 4'2" platform combines a low-drag bottom, fast-releasing tail and forgiving front rails, creating a board that accelerates efficiently, lifts cleanly and recovers smoothly after touchdowns.
The compact performance shape is designed for wing, prone and tow-in foiling, giving advanced riders a versatile platform for powered takeoffs, paddle-ins and high-speed sessions.
A single-concave entry transitions into a flat bottom, helping the board build speed at low power and release cleanly as the foil begins producing lift.
Round, full rails through the front of the board soften contact during landings and help the Launch Pad recover without immediately catching an edge.
Multiple insert positions accommodate one-, two- or three-strap configurations, half-straps or a completely strapless setup.
The efficient bottom shape promotes low-speed planing and smooth acceleration while minimizing drag on the way to takeoff.
Sharp, defined rails at the back create a clean water release, helping the compact board lift quickly and rebound onto foil after a touchdown.
Rounder forward rails are less likely to catch during landings, providing a more forgiving recovery when learning new tricks or touching down at speed.
The high-density internal structure is designed to withstand demanding riding and the increased loads produced by jumps and hard landings.
This protective, weight-conscious finish intentionally allows carbon beneath the surface to remain visible. Because each board is hand finished, appearance can vary slightly from product photos.
The track mount lets riders adjust foil position forward or backward to fine-tune lift, stance pressure and compatibility with different foil setups.
Soft corduroy-textured EVA supplies comfortable, dependable traction throughout the primary standing and landing area.
Multiple strap positions support several stance options, while the integrated leash plug provides a dedicated board-leash attachment point.
