Description
The Slingshot One-Lock Glide line of front wings is designed for riders seeking the best all-around wing for their second foil purchase. With a balance of lift, maneuverability, and consistent foot pressure, this wing allows riders to quickly adapt and gain confidence. The trust built in the foil’s feel accelerates progression, enabling riders to ride faster and with greater control.
Design Difference
The One-Lock Glide Front Wing is the most efficient front wing in the One-Lock line. Through utilizing a medium-high aspect ratio, they found the most forgiving and playful front wing shape yet.
The medium high camber profile excels in low end lift, allowing smaller wings to get up at slower speeds. When accelerating to faster speeds, the wing tip twist prevents the foil from gaining lift. This means there is no increase in front foot pressure when pushing the foil to the extremes.
| Wing | Surface Area (cm^2) | Span | Aspect Ratio | Weight |
| Glide 725 | 725 | 799mm | 8.9 | 1.04kg |
| Glide 925 | 925 | 899mm | 8.8 | 1.14kg |
| Glide 1125 | 1125 | 999mm | 8.9 | 1.24kg |
| Glide 1325 | 1325 | 1099mm | 8.9 | 1.34kg |
TECHNICAL FEATURES
Slingshot Stiff Construction
The Glide front wing series is constructed with a blend of high and mid modulus carbon, creating a stiff, high-performance wing. The carbon layers are strategically positioned at 0° along the span to maximize stiffness and at 45° to prevent wing twist. Additionally, an internal stringer has been incorporated to further enhance the wing’s stiffness.
Medium-High Camber Profile
A Medium-High Camber Profile was used on this front wing to boost low-end lift in a compact surface area. This design allows the rider to use a smaller wing, resulting in a more nimble and agile foil that’s still easy to control across a wide range of wind conditions.
Hand Finished
All front wings are hand-finished to precisely tune the flow of water off the trailing edge and tips. This meticulous process results in a more efficient foil and a smoother ride on the water.
Fillets
The wings incorporate fillets to increase their overall strength. These fillets also help minimize drag, resulting in a more efficient performance.
Monobloc Front Wing
The front part of our fuselage section is now molded into the front wing using a Carbon Arc Layup, reducing drag and creating a stronger connection for increased responsiveness. The construction of the fuselage section is consistent across the One-Lock line, further ensuring reliable control and performance while enhancing the direct feedback from the front wing.
One-Lock Latch
Front wings come with a preinstalled One-Lock latch to secure the front and rear wings inside the collar on the bottom of the mast. Each wing includes an additional replacement One- Lock latch.
