Wake Thief Premium Package

The Dwarf Craft is back in its third generation and has been re-designed to optimize your foiling progression. The concave deck and beveled rails provide dynamic heel-to-toe performance with effortless turning response and touchdown rebound. Compression- molded construction and PMU top sheet increase the board's durability as well as decrease its weight. Its high surface areas combined with low volume make water starts easy while maintaining the ability to touch down on the water without pearling. 

FEATURES:

• CONCAVE DECK
• The concave design provides increased turning sensitivity and response, as well as more dynamic heel-toe performance. Also helps with proper foot placement as you get a feel for the contour of the deck and where the sweet spot is.

• ADJUSTABLE FOIL TRACK MOUNT
• The adjustable mount allows you to slide your foil forward and aft on your board to fine-tune how it feels and performs based on your size, ability, and personal preference.

• BEVELED RAILS
• Beveled rails prevent the board from grabbing the water when you touch down, which allows you to skip off the water and keep going instead of grinding to a halt.

• MULTIPLE FOOTSTRAP INSERT POSITIONS
• Ride however you want. With multiple insert options you can ride whatever configuration you like: three straps, two straps, one strap, no straps, two hooks, one hook, or no hooks—you can make the choice.

• CORDUROY EVA DECK PAD
• This full-coverage EVA deck pad is the perfect blend of comfort and traction. It's super soft on your feet yet super grippy, ensuring there are no slips, no slides, and no slices.

OUR TAKE ON THE HOPE CRAFT V1:

All of us at the shop are familiar with the Slingshot Dwarfcraft since it's been a staple in the kite foil and wake foil communities for years. New for this year is the Hopecraft - a similar board designed to meet the performance demands of world champion foiler Fred Hope. If you know who Fred Hope is and are familiar with his level of riding, that alone should have your interest piqued if you are looking to take your foiling to the highest level. If you are unfamiliar, I would suggest searching YouTube for some solid entertainment and mind-blowing skills. In the meantime, we'll chat about the differences from the Dwarfcraft.

The Hopecraft features a max-volume nose to help aid in recoveries on touchdowns after boosting to the moon and coming in a little too hot. The pro stiffness core implements both wood and PVC stringers with a new beefed-up glass layup. That's right, I said wood and PVC stringers. Stringers are an integral part of board stiffness and durability from impact as well as performance. The rest of the board is very similar to the Dwarfcraft that we have all come to know and love.  The Hopecraft comes in just one performance-dialed size at 103cm.

WHAT SLINGSHOT HAS TO SAY ABOUT THE HOPE CRAFT V1:

Fred Hope has been foiling for a long time. The world champion knows what works and what doesn't. We decided to give him free-reign to design exactly what he wants. The result is the all-new Hope Craft V1. Fred is always trying new tricks and maneuvers on his foil and he was really adamant about having slightly more volume than the smaller boards we make. He wanted that volume in the nose so that he could recover from touchdowns after radical maneuvers. He also needed stiffness. When you are moving at speed and heading into turns with serious pressure, you need that hero-level stiffness. The Hope Craft takes true performance to the next level. If you are looking for a board that can keep up with your progression the Hope Craft is yours!
