New 2027 Slingshot Kite is here

The new 2027 Slingshot kite range is here

For 2027, Slingshot has refreshed its lineup with a clear focus on refinement rather than reinvention. The New School Big Air platform continues with Code V3, a more accessible Dacron take on the flagship Code DNA, while the zero-strut UFO V4 sharpens the foil-specific riding experience with lighter steering and better toeside drift. On the twin tip side, DNA, Formula V5 and ERA V2 return with updated visuals and the same proven constructions riders already trust, from DNA’s forgiving stiff-belly platform to ERA V2’s explosive, team-tested pop. Together, the range covers everything from first boosts to competition-level Big Air, all built around Slingshot’s twenty-plus years of watersports design.

New School Big Air, made accessible

Code V3

Slingshot Code V3 takes the next-generation Code DNA and builds it into a more affordable Dacron construction. Expect cleaner feedback, smoother lift and quicker turning, all in a kite that feels intuitive enough for everyday sessions but still has real send in it.

Built to disappear, not demand attention

UFO V4

Slingshot UFO V4 pushes Slingshot’s zero-strut, foil-specific design forward with a thinner leading edge, lighter bar pressure and steadier toeside stability. The result is a kite that drifts, stays where you put it, and gets out of the way while the foil does the work.
