Mad scientist Tony Logosz and Slingshot brand manager, Alex Fox, sit down and discuss the mission win designing the UFO and what makes it the ultimate kite for hydrofoiling.
Slingshot sacrificed nothing and maximized everything when they designed the all-new strutless UFO to be our pure, unlimited performance foiling kite. The UFO has a Compact Swept-C canopy shape for direct and instant handling, as well as insane range and power control, and an IRS bridle for immediate response. Off of that strutless design and bridle configuration, they made the canopy out of Teijin D1 fabric””the lightest weight ripstop available””and then stripped the UFO down to just the bare essentials in order to make it the ultimate foiling machine with unbelievable handling and space-age drift
