Slingshot Phantasm PTM 825 and 930 Front Wings
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

These

Slingshot Machine V2 Kite and Machine V2 LW Review
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

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

hold you back from pumping further. It weighs awesomely with a high aspect

Slingshot Hope Craft V1 103 Kite Foilboard Review
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

Slingshot Code V1 Review
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

Slingshot UFO Hydrofoiling Kite Review
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

Foilboarding Video: Completing Slingshot’s “Foil Flight School”
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
