Slingshot Hover Glide Foil NF2

What we think: The most versatile foil setup available. With lots of new modular items coming out soon, Slingshot is on top of the hydrofoiling revolution. The Flight School is the best way to learn hands down. Check out www.foil-academy.com/ for FREE. The Hover Glide is super sturdy with a bit of weight. This weight does not have a negative impact on performance. We find the momentum can actually be helpful at times. You will soon be able to switch out Surf, SUP and Windsurfing wings with this setup. This is a great all around wing. We have been using it for kiting, surfing, tow-ins, and wakesurfing. The wing is identical to the wing offered in Slingshot’s Wake Foil. The ideal mast sizes for wake surfing are the 15″ and 24″ (which come in the Flight School). For surfing the 24″ or 30″ seem to be the way to go.  You can easily mount this setup to any existing board with the Foil Mount for hydrosurfing, wakefoiling or kitefoilng. 

Included  35.5″ Slingshot Aluminum Mast, Full wing set, Hardware/Mounting Kit. The sets we have left come with Blue wings!

Description

The Hover Glide is an excellent choice for any foilboarder or prospective rider. The tough aluminum mast is durable and interchangeable. CNC wing sets on the Hover Glide have been engineered to give you maximum speed and lift while retaining their durability. We have found that this board planes faster than others in the aluminum/cnc category. The black and green stock colors really pop in and out of the water. All around this is an awesome investment whether you are just learning or you need a backup foil for shallow, potentially damaging conditions.
