Slingshot UFO V3
THE DESIGN DIFFERENCE
Get ready for an out-of-this-world ride with the Slingshot UFO V3! This kite is changing the game of kite foiling with its unique zero-strut design, offering amazing drift, upwind reach, and response. The Slingshot UFO V3 is super lightweight thanks to its FlexLITE airframe made from 140g/m2 high-tenacity polyester. Its swept wingtips and Compact Swept C canopy shape make water relaunches a breeze. Plus, the new zipperless roll-top kite bag keeps things ultra-light and super convenient.
FLEXLITE
The secret sauce behind the Slingshot UFO V3’s enhanced performance and lighter weight is FlexLITE, used on the airframe’s leading edge. This material features an increased open 1:1 thread orientation, allowing the frame to flex and breathe under your input. The result? More responsive and quicker steering, plus the ability to generate more apparent wind through the loop. At just 140 grams per square meter, FlexLITE optimizes drift and minimizes drag.
TRIMFLIGHT BRIDLE
The TrimFlight Bridles, with 25% thinner lines, deliver the least amount of drag, significantly boosting the Slingshot UFO V3’s efficiency and response. These lightweight lines are designed with geometry, length, and placement that highlight the UFO’s top-notch performance and Hybrid Compact Swept C shape.
COMPACT SWEPT C CANOPY
The Slingshot UFO V3’s proprietary Compact Swept C shape features a lower aspect, compact arc that provides exceptional steering, pivoting, and drift. The swept wing tips are designed specifically for a zero-strut kite, ensuring effortless water relaunches. This shape offers responsive and immediate power management to prevent over-foiling.
ZERO-STRUT AIRFRAME
Since its bold debut in 2020, the Slingshot UFO V3’s Zero-Strut Airframe has been turning heads. Perfected through extensive research and development, this design nearly eliminates drag, enabling the Slingshot UFO V3 to fly in the lightest winds with unlimited drift, superior upwind angles, and intuitive response—all essential for top-notch foiling performance.
2X2 FLYWEIGHT CANOPY TECH
Say hello to the lightest canopy material in any Slingshot kites! The 2X2 Flyweight Canopy Tech uses reinforced ripstop nylon with a 2X2 weave, offering significant weight savings without sacrificing stiffness or durability. It provides exceptional tear and stretch resistance, outperforming the 4X4 Canopy Tech.
RIDER CUSTOMIZATION SYSTEM (RCS)
Tailor the Slingshot UFO V3’s performance to your riding style with the Rider Customization System. This system features three knots on the bridle pigtails and three knots on the Sentry Control Bar’s flying lines. Adjust the handling, power delivery, and performance of the Slingshot UFO V3 by fine-tuning the flying and power lines. With the RCS, you can easily tweak the UFO’s turning speed, power level, angle of attack, and bar pressure to match your session’s conditions perfectly.
