The Hover Glide is also the exclusive foil for Slingshots progressive multi-mast Foiling Flight School program. Masts of varying lengths can be purchased individually or as a package and paired with the Hover Glide for user-friendly foil progression. With the Hover Glide, you gain access to the highly-effective Foiling Flight School program. + Agile & playful foil that planes early & has a medium top-end speed + Durable aluminum, composite construction + Segmented design for easy set-up & breakdown + Foil in shallower water w/ four different mast lengths to choose from + Affordable replacement parts if needed HOVER GLIDE NF2 RIDER PROFILE You’ll love the Hover Glide if you’re looking for incredibly stable foil with a medium top-end speed and a solid all-around feel. It can be mounted on any of Slingshot’s foil-specific boards. HOVER GLIDE NF2 FOILING FLIGHT SCHOOL SKU# 16236112 (15”), #16236111 (24”), #16236110 (30”) HOVER GLIDE NF2 FOILING FLIGHT SCHOOL HIGHLIGHTS HOVER GLIDE NF2 FOILING FLIGHT SCHOOL + Learn to properly handle your foil board on & off the water This industry-first program suddenly makes learning to foil as easy as 1, 2, 3. Foiling Flight School is a simple do-it-yourself learning tool consisting of three separate masts of incremental lengths- 15” (38cm), 24” (61cm) and 30” (76cm). Foiling Flight School is designed to work exclusively with our complete Hover Glide foil, which comes stock with a 35.5” (90cm) mast. + TAXI your board & lock-in on the feeling the first day + Insure safety & confidence every step of the way + Learn TOUCH & GOES w/ ease & control Due to their aluminum construction, these masts are remarkably affordable and will be available to purchase individually or as a discounted package to best serve your needs and maximize your options. + Put it all together in SOLO mode & start experiencing flight HOVER GLIDE NF2 FOILING FLIGHT SCHOOL RIDER PROFILE + No fear, no stress, learn at your own pace You’ll love the Foiling Flight School if you want to start with a shorter, more manageable mast and progress in length as your skills progress. This will help dramatically in developing the basic coordination and muscle memory required to become a proficient foiler. + Optimize your foil mast length based on local conditions STEP 1 TAXI STAGE 15-INCH MAST Getting a feel for how your foil behaves is much easier, and safer, with a shorter and more manageable mast. This stage is called the Taxi stage, as in an airplane taxiing around the runway. Staring with the 15-inch mast will help you master the basic foiling skills like how to properly carry your foil, how to swim and body drag with it, how to get it in position to water start and how to get it under your feet and moving through the water. With a shorter mast, you’ll learn these basic steps much faster and easier than if you were struggling with a full-size one. Once you’re comfortable with the foil beneath your feet, have a basic understanding of how it behaves, can taxi back and forth like a regular surfboard and are able to ride short distances out of the water, you’ll be ready to graduate to the 24-inch mast. STEP 2 TOUCH & GO STAGE 24-INCH MAST The 24-inch mast is an invaluable tool in earing your first extended foil rides. As you rise and fall off of the water and begin to foil longer in between, you’ll appreciate the easier handling a shorter mast provides. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you get the hang of foiling and will fall in love with the feeling of silently and smoothly gliding over the water. Once you’re getting extended and controlled rides without touching down on the water, you’ll be ready for the full 30-inch mast. The 24-inch mast is also a good long-term option for kiters who frequent shallow water and want a little extra room between their foil and the ground. STEP 3 SOLO STAGE 30-INCH MAST After working your way up to the 30-inch mast, you’ll truly appreciate the Foiling Flight School program and the easy progression it provided. You’ll know how to get the foil into position, how to get up properly, how to balance you center of gravity and will be ready for longer and longer rides. At this point you’ll be hooked on foiling, and best of all you will have skipped the frustrating and often painful process many people endured in learning on a full-sized setup. Once you’re comfortable foiling in mixed conditions, carving upwind, cruising downwind and touching down for basic transitions, you’ll be ready to graduate to the full 35.5-inch foil. The 30-inch masts is also a good long-term option for kiters who frequent shallow water and want a little extra room between their foil and the ground.

Its compact pulley-less bridle delivers precision turning with effortless bar pressure and it can be fine-tuned to match your personal style. You can fly the Rally confidently in any condition with Slingshot’s bomber Surf tough construction. The Rally performs exceptionally well in flatwater and waves, making it a great choice for riders who want a solid crossover kite for surfing as well as freeriding. When you add it all up, this is the most versatile kite on the market. RALLY RIDER PROFILE You’ll love the Rally if you want a kite that will deliver well in all disciplines of the sport. Casual or entry-level kiters will love the Rally’s big range, excellent depower and easy of relaunch, while more experienced kiters will appreciate its lofty airs, upwind ability and excellent downwind drift. RALLY DETAILS 1 Slingshot has reworked and refined the Rally over the years to polish the kite into what it is today. In 2016 we made some slight adjustments to the geometry and bridles to increase handling and steering speed. Those changes were very well received, so we’ve carried them over for 2017 and have added a couple other subtle modifications. For sizes 8, 9 and 10 we’ve made very subtle changes in geometry and strut diameter to clean up the canopy ever so slightly. Trailing edge tension is now controlled with the addition of Teijin T2 Polyester rip stop canopy material. This decreases trailing edge flutter and increases durability. We reinforced the one-pump inflation valve’s connection to the bladder to help prevent blowouts caused by improper hose attachment/detachment. Finally, we added two Kevlar patches to prevent bridle rub on the trailing edges. 1 RALLY BRIDLE CONFIGURATION The Rally features a compact-direct connect pulley-less bridle with three connection points (per side) on the leading edge and a single connection on the wingtips. This configuration is engineered to give the Rally its renowned range and depower, turning speed, easy of relaunch and unrivaled upwind performance. For customized performance, the Rally’s wingtip bridle can be connected at three different points, which allows for tuning of bar pressure, kite feedback and steering speed. 2 2 OPEN DELTA C Blends the proven C-kite performance characteristics like power, stability, edging, control and direct feel with the additional advancements of an innovative Delta shape to deliver faster turns, improved aerodynamics and increased rigidity with more stability.

The WAVE SST is amazing, people said, it tracks magically downwind, turns on a dime and maintains a responsive feel even when fully sheeted out. These are the most sought-after characteristics of a surf-specific kite, and the 2017 WAVE SST is packed with the same great features that made it an instant hit. After a year in the market, we also discovered foilers were gravitating to this kite for freeriding. Performance traits found in a good wave kite are also sought out by people who know freeride foiling. For 2017 we’re releasing more sizes to include a full range (4-10 meter and 12 meter) so kiters can set themselves up with the perfect quiver. + Instills confidence the first time you fly it + Direct feel, instant response, no tangling w/ compact IRS bridle + Stealth feel & smooth power make it ideal for waves & foiling + Bomber slingshot surf tough reinforced & gridded canopy + Aggressive down-the-line performance WAVE SST RIDER PROFILE + Responsive turning even when fully sheeted out You will love the WAVE SST if you’re a dedicated kitesurfer, foiler or directional rider looking for a kite with unrivaled stability, serious downwind drift and unbelievable turning characteristics throughout the power zone. WAVE SST DETAILS 1 The WAVE SST features a Compact-C canopy profile and a condensed version of Slingshot’s popular shockabsorbing IRS bridle system. The combination of canopy geometry and bridle configuration results in a kite that flies deep in the window, in the sweet spot for surf-specific performance. Two main features that make the WAVE SST such an amazing surf kite are: How well it drifts downwind and how quickly it can pivot even when you’re depowered, sheeted out or moving toward the kite. These characteristics also make the WAVE an ideal kite for foiling. The WAVE SST is extremely robust, taking Slingshot’s bomber surf-tough standards a step farther, with a special Surf Grid panel layout that adds strength and durability to the canopy, and a condensed bridle setup. Trailing edge tension is now controlled with the addition of Teijin T2 Polyester ripstop canopy material, which decreases trailing edge flutter and increases durability. We reinforced the one-pump inflation valve’s connection to the bladder to help prevent blowouts caused by improper hose attachment/ detachment. Finally, we added two Kevlar patches to prevent bridle rub on the trailing edges. 1 2 WAVE SST BRIDLE CONFIGURATION The WAVE SST features a condensed version of Slingshot’s unique shock-absorbing Intuitive Response System (IRS) bridle. This revolutionary bridle replaces pulleys with bungee line segments that expand and contract to keep proper tension as the kite travels through the window. This results in faster turning, more direct feedback and instant response. The condensed bridle won’t get tangled or wrapped around wingtips if tumbled in the surf. 2 COMPACT-C Blends the proven C kite performance characteristics like power, stability, edging, control and direct feel with the additional advancements of an innovative compact wave shape to deliver faster turns, improved aerodynamics, increased rigidity with more stabilitys and a feather lite feel, capable of flying further forward in the wind window.

FUEL DETAILS 1 We’ve brought back the classic four-line configuration for the 2017 Fuel, eliminating the optional Nitrous bridle system that was included with the 2016-16 Fuel and adding a leading edge attachment point for riders who prefer a fifth-line setup. Trailing edge tension is now controlled with the addition of Teijin T2 Polyester rip stop canopy material. This decreases trailing edge flutter while enhances durability. We reinforced the one-pump inflation valve’s connection to the bladder to help prevent blowouts caused by improper hose attachment/detachment.

You asked for weight reduction, better flex control and increased feel. You got it. Our engineers accomplished this by inventing new carbon-reinforced inserts. In testing, our team riders quickly noticed how solid the inserts are, hence the name Bedrock Carbon Inserts. The new inserts are a Slingshot exclusive and are designed to offer you a solid connection to a board that still needs to flex. They use the industry-standard M6 hardware and are reinforced with light-weight, high-strength carbon fiber. With this development, our engineers were able to define a new level of durability you will appreciate. The insert pull strength is increased by 30%, while the overall board weight is cut by 10%. Bedrock Carbon Inserts are designed for the toughest boot riders in the business. HOT NEW RAIL COLORS THAT DEFINE YOUR STYLE Color is style, and we are now able to offer you bold bright rail colors in our trusted sidewall technology. Our resin engineers have been able to formulate our urethane in a broader range of vibrant colors.

MISFIT DETAILS 1 Like all of Slingshot’s twin tips, the Misfit is hand-built in the USA, with high-quality materials sourced from the Pacific Northwest. Construction includes a vertically laminated wood core that provides the best flex, performance and durability of any core material on the market. New for 2017, Slingshot is employing a carbon-reinforced Bedrock Insert mounting system, which reduces board weight while improving hold strength and overall flex characteristics. 1 2 3 BEDROCK CARBON INSERTS In 2017 you will notice lighter boards, a more continuous flex pattern and performance that is tuned precisely for each board’s design concept. You asked for weight reduction, better flex control and increased feel. You got it. Our engineers accomplished this by inventing new carbon-reinforced inserts, which will replace the Fastrack system on all 2017 boards. In testing, our team riders quickly noticed how solid the inserts are, hence the name Bedrock Carbon Inserts. The new inserts are a Slingshot exclusive and are designed to offer you a solid connection to a board that still needs to flex. They use the industry-standard M6 hardware and are reinforced with light-weight, high-strength carbon fiber. With this development, our engineers were able to define a new level of performance and durability in twin tip construction. The insert pull strength is increased by 30%, while the overall board weight is cut by 10%. Bedrock Carbon Inserts designed for the toughest boot riders in the business. FLEX SOFT STIFF 2 As riders push their equipment to new limits, we’re finding the base layup for each of our boards more and more important. Some riders want a lightweight layup, some want an extra thick and durable layup, while others want something right in the middle. We offer something for everyone in our 2017 lineup. Layups are as follows: Refraction (Sam Light pro)- .7mm DuraSurf base; Asylum- .4mm standard base; Karolina Winkowska Pro- 2mm standard base; Misfit- .2mm standard base.

Based on Slingshot’s hybrid T-Rex profile, the Angry Swallow is the most buoyant board in our lineup, which creates a stable, yet snappy freestyle-friendly feel that only a board of its size and shape can provide. With the performance of a larger, full-volume board in a small package, this is an excellent choice for riders who frequent onshore wind, rough, choppy breaks or who want a solid all-around setup that can perform well in a wide variety of conditions. The Angry Swallow features a parallel rail outline, which adds surface area for better handling in mushy conditions. An aggressive winged diamond swallow tail gives the board tight, snappy turns and helps it keep up with marginal or mushy waves. + Our highest-buoyancy board + Agile, freestyle-friendly T-Rex shape + Super slashy diamond swallow tail + Edge harder w/ parallel rail outline ANGRY SWALLOW RIDER PROFILE You’ll love the Angry Swallow if you’re looking for a mix of stability and all-condition wave performance with a snappy, responsive and freestyle-friendly feel that only a board of its size and shape can provide.
