Slingshot H3 Front Foil Wing 2018
IN A NUTSHELL...
The Slingshot H3 wing is designed for high-speed, high-performance foiling. This is a great option for riders who progress beyond the limits of the stock H5 wing, or for riders who frequent high-wind locations and want a wing that’s a better match for the conditions. As part of Slingshot’s Modular System, the H3 wing is compatible with any Hover Glide foil setup and can be changed out in a couple minutes.
Design details
FASTER FLYING, HIGHER-PERFORMANCE
SKU: 18711022
- Upgrade high-performance Hover Glide wing
- Faster, higher-aspect wing for more advanced riding
- Customize your ride, cross over to other sports
- Sturdy pre-preg carbon construction
- One of five wings in the Hover Glide’s Modular System
For kite: Faster and higher-aspect than the stock Hover Glide H5 wing. Designed for more advanced riders or for foiling in stronger winds. A great upgrade for Hover Glide H5 owners who want an change of pace.
For windsurf: Higher aspect means higher speeds and higher performance than the stock H2 wind foil wing. This is a great option for light weight wind foilers, for those who favor speed and long-distance cruising or those who frequent high wind locations where a larger foil isn’t necessary.
For surf: The H3 wing is a great option for tow-in surfing long rolling swell before it breaks. Its higher top-end speed is a big help in keeping up with swell and running down faces at speed without worrying quite so much about over foiling and breaching.
DETAILS
Solid Carbon Composite Construction
Each Hover Glide wing is made of solid carbon composite and prepreg carbon construction. Unlike the super fragile high-modulus carbon construction of more expensive foils, the Hover Glide can take a beating, and scrapes and dings can be repaired fairly easily.
Flat-Loc, Fuse-to-Wing Connector
Foiling, carving, jibbing and jumping puts enormous forces on the fuselage-to-wing connection. Our Flat-Loc™ Fuse-to-Wing connection is designed like a wrench on a nut. The load is married to the fuse and the wings, with no load on the bolts. Unlike bolt-on wings, the Flat-Loc™ system is safe, secure and smart.
