DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Easy Take-offs
The Glide Craft V1 has a progressive tri-surface hull that reduces the effort needed to get up on foil. On the water, you'll immediately feel the board helping you lift off: it has grip, then releases cleanly as the foil takes over, which simplifies your first take-off attempts.
Stability and Control
Slingshot has blended the stable pitch of the Flow Craft with the lateral control of the Wing Craft. The result is a predictable and reassuring board, letting you compensate for gusts more easily and work on your stance without being surprised by sudden movements.
Performance-Focused Construction
The advanced construction delivers stiffness and robustness, improving energy transfer to the foil. On the water, this stiffness gives you better responsiveness to your inputs and greater durability against the stresses of foiling.
Versatility and Progression
With volumes from 70 L to 120 L, the Glide Craft V1 covers a wide range of rider builds and goals. We recommend it for progressing from your first flights to more committed freeride sessions without needing to change boards at every step.
