Stiff / Fly / Fast
A compact, exceptionally stiff performance platform developed for progressive kite, boat and pump foiling.
Developed with Fred Hope, the Slingshot Hope Craft V2 is built for riders who want a direct connection between their feet and foil. Its Pro Stiffness Core minimizes unwanted flex during turns, acceleration and upwind riding, while beveled rails help the board release cleanly after contact with the water. A supportive nose profile, grippy Corduroy EVA deck pad and compact outline make it a versatile choice for technical kitefoil riding, boat sessions and dock-start progression.
The extra-stiff construction transfers rider input efficiently into the foil for precise carving, acceleration and technical maneuvers.
The supportive nose and beveled rails help the board release from the water instead of catching abruptly during touchdowns.
Soft Corduroy EVA covers the deck with a high-grip texture that helps keep your feet connected during starts, turns and aerial corrections.
The compact, durable platform performs with a kite, behind a boat and during dock-start or pump-foil sessions.
Minimal board flex creates immediate feedback when loading the foil, changing direction or driving through a powered turn.
Short lengths keep the board close to the rider and reduce rotational mass during jumps, transitions and technical foil maneuvers.
Beveled rails reduce the likelihood of the board grabbing when it touches the water, helping preserve speed and control.
The shaped nose provides additional support during strapless waterstarts and helps the board recover more smoothly from imperfect touchdowns.
Wood and PVC stringers combine with a reinforced fiberglass layup to create one of Slingshot’s stiffest and most reactive foil-board constructions.
Angled rail surfaces help the board glance away from the water during touchdowns instead of stopping suddenly or catching an edge.
The soft, textured deck pad provides reliable traction while remaining comfortable for extended strapless sessions.
Compatible sizes allow forward-and-aft foil adjustment so riders can tune lift, stance balance and handling to their setup and preferences.
