Slingshot SlingWing V3 Blue 5.0M

The latest addition to the Slingwing series continues to be a solid product, and this year definitely gets an uprating when it comes to speed and upwind ability; the latest version offers some noteworthy upgrades from the V2 particularly in the comfort and ease of use improvement in the new handles and serves as a capable allrounder for mixed discipline wing sports.

The V3 is immediately engaging through the arms and the relatively shallow profile means that the wing requires a high frequency pump to get going, particularly in lighter airs. Once your foil lifts, you’re immediately aware this is a wing that likes to fly forward and fast. Upwind performance is efficient, with the wing generally liking a positive input through those large handles. It likes to be shown who’s boss. The strut has both a high diameter and inflate pressure making it super stiff, making it an excellent platform to load up a jump against.
