Accessories
Slingshot Slingwing
The Slingshot SlingWing is great for downwind SUP or foiling. It is designed with inflatable leading & trailing edges that form a rigid frame around the entire wing to alleviate any “flutter”. This design helps the SlingWing float in mid-air, making it far more predictable and manoeuvrable than other wings. The ‘Y Boom’ control handle system gives you multiple grip points with no strain and better leverage over the wing to manipulate its angle of attack. Available in 4.2 metre size.
