Slingwing V5

Slingwing V5

The Slingshot SlingWing V5 is designed for ultimate performance, combining innovative materials and advanced construction techniques to elevate your wing foiling experience.

True Tension Airframe Design:
The True Tension Airframe features a precise taper from the center of the Leading Edge (LE) to the wing tips, creating a high-tension canopy for superior balance and handling. This medium-span wing design ensures a stiff front structure for on-demand power, while the softer wing tips twist off in gusty conditions or when free-flying, offering total control when flagging out or surfing.

Code 95 P Trailing Edge:
The V5’s trailing edge is reinforced with Code 95 material, the strongest canopy fabric used in any SlingWing. This reinforcement prevents canopy blowout and enhances balance, providing a direct power response and effortless gliding when riding swells. Its durability also reduces the chances of catastrophic failure if your wing hits the foil or gets caught in surf.

SlingGrip Uni Handle:
The new SlingGrip Uni Handle replaces traditional two-handle designs with a single, long handle that spans the entire wing. This design offers enhanced control, making it easier to adjust hand positioning for more power, ride one-handed, or transition seamlessly during tacks and jibes.

FrameLite Construction:
The airframe is built with FrameLite, a high-tenacity polyester that minimizes stretch in all directions. This lightweight material provides a balanced feel, superior power control, and smooth, stable luffing while surfing. Its unique 2×2 weave structure adds stiffness and increases the wing’s multi-season durability.

Tapered T-Grid Canopy Layout:
The Tapered T-Grid canopy layout strategically places seams to prevent stretch and reduce the risk of catastrophic tears. This layout also helps the wing maintain its structure when thrown into rough conditions or when the foil comes in contact with it.

Forward Windows:
Strategically placed forward windows offer clear views of downwind obstacles, improving rider awareness and safety. The tapered design toward the wing tips enhances views while preventing excess stretch in these areas.

TPU Rigid LE Handle:
The new TPU Rigid LE Handle increases rider control by providing greater leverage, reducing side-to-side roll during downwind transitions. This handle ensures a smoother, more focused ride.

Reduced Dihedral Leading Edge:
A reduced dihedral angle increases the surface area angled against the wind, improving self-balance when in free-fly mode and minimizing oscillation in roll for more stability.

VersaStrut Geometry:
The hybrid canted strut design of VersaStrut, combined with the HGrid Rigid Canopy Construction, ensures a high-tension canopy profile. This design enhances control, distributing loads evenly for a quick and direct response while pumping and maintaining stability throughout.

The Slingshot SlingWing V5 offers unparalleled performance, control, and durability, setting a new standard for wing foiling gear. Whether you’re riding in gusty winds, carving waves, or gliding down swells, the V5’s innovative design ensures you get the best out of every session.
