DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Effortless Take-offs
The Glide Craft V1 features a progressive tri-surface hull shape that significantly reduces the effort required to transition from gliding to flying. On the water, you'll immediately feel the board assisting with take-off: it grips the water, then cleanly releases as the foil takes over, simplifying those crucial first take-off attempts.
Stability and Control
Slingshot has expertly blended the stable pitch of the Flow Craft with the precise lateral control of the Wing Craft. The result is a predictable and reassuring board that lets you more easily compensate for gusts and refine your stance without being caught off guard by sudden movements.
Performance-Oriented Construction
The advanced construction provides exceptional stiffness and robustness, which in turn improves energy transfer to the foil. On the water, this stiffness translates to better responsiveness during load changes and increased durability, standing up to the stresses of foiling.
Versatility and Progression
With volumes ranging from 70 L to 120 L, the Glide Craft V1 accommodates a wide range of rider body sizes and progression goals. We recommend it for anyone looking to advance from their first flights to more committed freeride sessions, all without needing to switch boards at every stage.
