Foiling is a beast of a sport and has exploded recently across all foil activities, wake, kite, SUP, and surf. While all have a margin of cross-over with optimal sizes of wings, masts, fuselages, and boards, wake foils are unique with their relatively low boat speed and small wave size. In addition to being difficult to ride, foiling is confusing and information and education regarding wake foils is vague for both staff and customers. In this article we’ll give you the low-down on all you need to know and walk you through the ins and outs of this complicated but rewarding tow sport!
Slingshot 2023 SG WF-2 V5 with Hover Glide FCarve V1 Foil Kit
Description
WF-2 BOARD: As the trend in foiling continues to move towards shorter boards, we redesigned the WF-2 soft-top foilboard to pack the same amount of surface area into a shorter board length. At 4'6" the WF-2 is an excellent choice for all levels of foilers, has foot strap inserts, and is the best traditional wakesurfing shape we've ever produced for those interested in removing the foil for traditional surf sessions. The board features an aggressive nose rocker designed to increase forgiveness when touching back down to the surface in the early stages of foil progression, and the shorter length allows advanced foilers to pump more aggressively without concern of unintentional contact with the water. The WF-2 is designed to fit the largest range of skill levels from beginner to expert, the WF-2 is the ultimate crossover board between wakesurfing and foilsurfing.
HOVER GLIDE FCARVE V1 FOIL: The FCARVE foil was built to deliver high aspect foil performance to the Hover Glide platform. The 72cm mast height places your wings in the heart of the power source behind boats, and the Quantum 85cm wing glides the farthest with the least effort. The FCARVE foil will allow advanced foilers to go virtually anywhere behind the boat with full confidence. This foil flies at impressively low speeds and requires little effort to sustain flight without a power source, allowing you to pick a wave near or far and get to it with complete confidence.
Specifications
• Adjustable Track Mount: This allows you to slide your foil forward and aft on your board to fine tune how it feels and performs based on your size, ability and personal preference.
• Inline Footstrap Inserts: Simple inline inserts allow for the addition of half straps or full footstraps based on rider preference.
• Full Soft Top Corduroy EVA: Super-soft EVA features a corduroy texture covering the entire surface of the board - providing tons of grip, protection, comfort, and stance options for a variety of riders.
• FCS II FIN BOXES: For those interested in the multi-functionality of the WF-2 V4, Twin FCS II fin boxes allow for the quick addition/subtraction of surf fins for traditional wave-riding sessions.
• Nose Rocker: When learning to foil you will experience quick rises—and even quicker crashes. The nose rocker on the WF-2 V4 will help absorb that impact and direct you back onto foil.
