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 WF-1 V4 with Phantasm G900 Foil Kit
Description
WF-1 BOARD: The WF-1 is our top-of-the-line wake-foil board for advanced and expert foilers. Built using our premium XR carbon-reinforced surf construction, the WF-1 is the lightest wake-foil board we've ever produced. The board has also been streamlined down to a 4'2" length at 20-inches wide at the belly, eliminating unnecessary material and swing weight, which maximizes the overall efficiency and performance of your foil setup. With carbon reinforcements throughout the tail and foil track, the stiffness of the WF-1 makes for an immediate transfer of energy between the board and the foil, eliminating wasted energy and maximizing your foiling progression. The WF-1 is designed to meet the needs of the highest performance foil riders around the world.
PHANTASM G 900/710 LOWER PACKAGE V1: We wanted a lower with multi-sport compatibility for anyone looking to maximize pump and glide without sacrificing low-speed get-up and go. The larger wings give you more glide and increased pumping efficiency while the smaller sizes are more reactive in the turn for tighter carving. The G900/710 is a one wing quiver. From light winds to 25kts this wing does it all. Glide, pump, carve ... repeat.
PHANTASM 72CM ALUMINIUM MAST: The Phantasm Aluminium Mast is made from light and strong 7075 aircraft-grade aluminium. The included pedestal works with all standard foil tracks. The mast is compatible with Hoverglide products and the included Phantasm Fuselage adapter allows it to work with any Phantasm Fuse. The supplied padded mast cover makes travelling simple and easy.
Specifications
