Black Friday • Kite Foiling • Light Wind
Get the Slingshot UFO V3 and a free Slingshot Joystick V1 Kite Bar for the price of the kite alone with this Windance Black Friday bundle.
The UFO V3 is a lightweight, strutless inflatable kite designed for light-wind kite foiling. This package pairs it with Slingshot’s dedicated foil control bar for freeride sessions, carving and riding swell on a hydrofoil.
The UFO V3 pivots quickly when you loop it to get on foil. Once you’re moving, its low-drag construction helps the kite drift as you carve toward it, even as line tension eases. The Joystick V1 gives you a long depower throw to shed kite power as your hydrofoil picks up speed.
The lightweight leading edge and canopy help the UFO V3 stay airborne through lulls. The larger sizes extend the range for riders pairing the kite with an efficient hydrofoil.
A low-drag bridle helps the kite track efficiently upwind, and the compact turn makes it easy to reposition through a change of direction.
When a wave or swell carries the foil downwind, the UFO V3 can follow with light line tension, giving you room to link carves with less kite input.
A good fit for independent kiteboarders working on hydrofoil starts and first transitions. The kite’s direct steering and smooth power delivery make small adjustments easier.
An inflatable leading edge supports the zero-strut canopy. The design reduces weight and drag so the kite can drift with less line tension.
The 140 g/m² high-tenacity polyester uses an open 1:1 weave that allows the leading edge to flex under steering input.
Reinforced 2X2 ripstop nylon keeps canopy weight low while resisting stretch and tears.
The compact arc helps the kite pivot tightly. Swept wingtips help it roll onto a tip for water relaunch.
Thin bridle lines reduce drag. Their geometry works with the compact canopy to keep the kite responsive to small steering inputs.
The kite’s connection settings let you adjust turning response, bar pressure and power delivery to suit your riding style.
The cleat-free design gives the bar more travel for sheeting out, with a broad depower range for kite foiling and surf.
Use the 18 m lines or add the included 4 m extensions for a 22 m setup. The two lengths let you match the bar to your kite size, conditions and riding style.
The bar comes with Slingshot’s SureShot click-in quick release and a small loop that keeps the connection close to your harness.
The 20-inch bar has a slim 22 mm grip diameter for a lightweight feel in hand.

Pair the bundle with your own kitefoil board, hydrofoil, kite pump and harness.
Choose your UFO V3 kite size on this bundle page. The bundle price covers both the selected kite and the Joystick V1 bar.
The swept wingtips help the kite rotate onto a tip. In marginal wind, relaunch depends on having enough wind and line tension to lift the canopy clear of the water.
Here, foil refers to the hydrofoil you ride. The UFO V3 uses an inflatable leading edge and a zero-strut canopy to keep weight and drag low.
