I got a big treat for you guys today. I will introduce you to the new PTM sizes in the slingshot Phantasm carbon foil lineup. I've been waiting for these anxiously for quite some time. After riding them for a long time, I can confidently tell you that they are really good, and you should be interested if you're looking for a new foil, especially if you already got the slingshot Phantasm, because these things are the best yet.The Phantasm 825 These are loosely based on th …

Hello guys. This is Pat and Dustin from MACkite. Today we will review the Slingshot Machine V2 and the Machine V2 Light Wind. We recently had a session with the V2s. They are super stellar, lofty, big boosty kites. They have a perfect low-power end, are grunty, and have decent bar pressure. If you're looking for a lighter bar feel, the V2 might not be the kite for you. But if you like a direct feel and nice power in the bar, then the V2 is perfect for you. You will feel …

What's up guys? This is Colin and Ryan from MACkiteboarding, and today we're going to be talking about the Quantum front wing by Slingshot Foils. We took it out a couple of days ago and want to give you guys our first impressions of it. What riding styles are great, and who might this wing be good for? I thought this wing was a great wing to pump with. This wing is not going to hold you back from pumping further. It weighs awesomely with a high aspect ratio and wid …

What's up guys? I’m Pat from MACkiteboarding.com. I’ll review the new Slingshot Hope Craft, a pretty neat little board brand new to the Slingshot lineup this year. The Hope Craft is brand new to the Slingshots lab this year, taking the DNA from the successful Dwarf Craft. It was designed by Fred Hope with the desires of St. John himself. So really, just taking everything that he's looking to get out of a high-performance pocket foil board. The Hope Craft is 103 centimeter …

How’s it going guys? Dustin and Pat from MACkiteboarding.com are here to talk to you about the new Code V1 from Slingshot. We're excited about this one. Slingshot’s Code V1 is a super stellar kite. It’s been a while since I've gotten on a Slingshot kite and just immediately fell in tune with it. The Code V1 is a three-stretch superstar that will be awesome for every kiting genre. It is some all-around kite but a master of none. It is a three-strut, fast-flying, and sup …

Before my session, I like to be well-prepared: besides good wind & coffee, I like to have sunblock (depending on weather), protein, and lots of water.

Is it an airplane, jet, or weather balloon? To many conspiracists’ delight, what we are looking at is a real UFO. Rather than an “Unidentified Flying Object” that you would see at Area 51, we are looking at Slingshots strutless kite known as the “Unlimited Foiling Object.” This is Slingshot’s only strutless kite in their lineup, and one of the few strutless kites in the market today. Due to the fact that it is so light and completely dedicated to foiling, it has already become a favorite h …

Learning to Foilboard Using Slingshot's "Foil Flight School" Foilboarding is an experience unlike anything else in kiteboarding. No matter your riding or your style, there is nothing like gliding silently and efficiently across the water (in fact, it's almost addicting). But learning how to foilboard can be a difficult experience, and it can take months or years to become proficient in riding. To some, it can be intimidating, painful, and frustrating. Sometimes people do not take the plunge …

In this case, Slingshot has decided to show us an unforgettable getaway with Vi …
