Refined by legendary Slingshot designer and foiling aficionado, Tony Logosz, the Hover Glide is a high-performance foil that delivers early takeoff, stable handling and smooth maneuverability. With decades of R&D experience and an intimate knowledge of foil dynamics, Logosz is an authority in foil design. He developed the Hover Glide for all-around performance freeriding, using aluminum mast and fuselage and composite components that make this the most affordable and robust foil of its class and caliber on the market

The Hover Glide features a classic front-J gullwing shape with swept wings, mild winglets off the front and arching rear wings. The result is an incredibly stable foil with a medium top-end speed and a solid all-around feel. It can be mounted on any of Slingshot’s foil-specific boards and features separate fuselage and wing components that can be broken-down into three parts for easy storage/transport and replaced if needed.

Unique to the Hover Glide, incremental mast lengths of 15, 20 and 30 inches are available in addition to the stock 35.5-inch mast through Slingshot’s exclusive Foiling Flight School program. The 15 and 20 inch masts are primarily designed for entry-level progression, while the 30-inch mast is for progression and shallow-water foiling.

LEARN TOFLYPAGE 12

Slingshot’s exclusive Foiling Flight School program takes much of the pain and frustration out of learning to foil. You wouldn’t learn your first kite skills with a full size kite, so why learn the basics of foiling with a full size mast?

With the Hover Glide, you have the option of three supplemental masts (15, 24 and 30 inch) in addition to the full 35.5-inch one that come stock with your foil. The ability to start with a shorter, more manageable mast and progress in length as your skills progress will help dramatically in developing the basic coordination and muscle memory required to become a proficient foiler.

Due to their aluminum construction, these masts are remarkably affordable and will be available to purchase individually or as a discounted package to best serve your needs and maximize your options.

What follows is a breakdown of our three-step Foiling Flight School program.

WHAT COMES IN THE BOX

TAXI STAGE

TOUCH-&-GO STAGE

SOLO STAGE

Getting a feel for how your foil behaves is much easier, and safer, with a shorter and more manageable mast. This stage is called the Taxi stage, as in an airplane taxiing around the runway. Staring with the 15-inch mast will help you master the basic foiling skills like how to properly carry your foil, how to swim and body drag with it, how to get it in position to water start and how to get it under your feet and moving through the water. With a shorter mast, you’ll learn these basic steps much faster and easier than if you were struggling with a full-size one. Once you’re comfortable with the foil beneath your feet, have a basic understanding of how it behaves, can taxi back and forth like a regular surfboard and are able to ride short distances out of the water via the foil, you’ll be ready to graduate to the 24-inch mast.

STEP 1 TAXI STAGE

15-INCH MAST

PAGE 14

The 24-inch mast is an invaluable tool in earing your first extended foil rides. As you rise and fall off of the water and begin to foil longer in between, you’ll appreciate the easier handling a shorter mast provides. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you get the hang of foiling and will fall in love with the feeling of silently and smoothly gliding over the water. Once you’re getting extended and controlled rides without touching down on the water, you’ll be ready for the full 30-inch mast.

The 24-inch mast is also a good long-term option for kiters who frequent shallow water and want a little extra room between their foil and the ground.

STEP 2 TOUCH-&-GO STAGE

24-INCH MAST

PAGE 15

After working your way up to the 30-inch mast, you’ll truly appreciate the Learn to Fly program and the easy progression it provided. You’ll know how to get the foil into position, how to get up properly, how to balance you center of gravity and will be ready for longer and longer rides. At this point you’ll be hooked on foiling, and best of all you will have skipped the frustrating and often painful process many people endured in learning on a full-sized setup. Once you’re comfortable foiling in mixed conditions, carving upwind, cruising downwind and touching down for basic transitions you’ll be ready to graduate to the full 35.5-inch foil.

The 30-inch masts is also a good long-term option for kiters who frequent shallow water and want a little extra room between their foil and the ground.

SILENCER NF2

PAGE 17

The only foil you will ever need: Featuring all-carbon construction, the Silencer is stiff, strong and incredibly light. The result is instant feedback to the rider, with no noise or interference caused by vibration, high speeds or choppy conditions. With a balance of early takeoff, stability and smooth handling, along with precision maneuverability, aggressive edging and an incredibly fast top end, the Silencer is a foil you’ll grow into but will never outgrow.

A lighter, more buoyant foil allows for a smaller, less buoyant board: In addition to its superior handling and performance, the Silencer’s ultra-lightweight construction makes it almost neutrally buoyant. Not only does this make maneuvering your board and getting it into position much easier, it also opens up a wide range of possibilities for the size, shape and buoyancy of board needed for foiling. The Silencer is perfect for minimalist boards and skate style decks, for example.

The silencer is made proudly in the USA: With world’s greatest testing grounds and the kiteboarding mecca and the of the Columbia River Gorge in its front yard, LP Composites has refined their processes over the last 20 years and is now one of the industry’s premier carbon composite manufacturers. Each Silencer is hand built in a small facility, allowing for the intimate attention to quality and detail that Logosz and the Slingshot brand demands.

LENGTH WIDTH THICKNESS

42” 18” 2 1/4”

Featuring the same high-end construction as Slingshot’s lineup of wakesurfers, the Dwarfcraft comes in two different lengths to appeal to two different styles of foiling. The 42” is designed for skilled riders who want a short, playful and very agile board that will feel similar to a wakeskate and is an ideal size for traveling, while the 54” is a more traditional all-around board that will appeal to a wide range of users and perform well in any condition.

The Dwarfcraft employs Slingshot’s rugged EPS core and fiberglass-wrapped construction and is inlaid with PVC stringers for added torsional strength and durability. The board is thinner, lighter and narrower than the Alien Air, making it a great choice for riders looking for a lower-profile and, subsequently, lower priced ride.

Design features include aggressively chined rails to create a separate edging surface when the board touches the water while edging on the foil, moderate front-end rocker to help prevent pearling and nose-diving, an adjustable strut mount that allows the foil to be moved forward and aft depending on rider preferences and skill level, footstrap inserts that can be setup in two-strap (surf style) or three-strap (race style) configurations and a full-length EVA deckpad and concave deck that functions similar to a skateboard in providing turning and edge control with very subtle movement

The Alien Air is 4’8” X 21.5. It is a surf style board designed for all aspects of foiling. It’s flip tip snub nose design offers decreased swing weight and still offers confidence for touch and goes with the foil. The chined rail bottom feature helps reduce drag if the board touches the water while aggressively edging through big chop. Constructed with durable carbon composite rails and strut reinforcements. It has a concave deck, full deck pad, and footstrap inserts. The Alien Air can be ridden with 3 straps (race style) 2 straps (surf style) or strapless.*
