Flow Craft V1

The Slingshot Flow Craft V1 is a dedicated wing foil board from Slingshot Sports, introduced as the brand's first purpose-built wing foiling platform under the "Craft" line. Rather than serving as a multi-discipline crossover, the Flow Craft V1 was designed from the ground up for wing foiling, with a shape and construction tuned specifically for freestyle progression and swell riding. It uses Slingshot's Carbon Forged Construction — a layup combining unidirectional carbon, rail wraps, and a bamboo/fiberglass sandwich over an EPS core — resulting in a notably light board across all four sizes. The board is available in 35 L, 45 L, 55 L, and 70 L volumes, each with a compact length-to-volume ratio that keeps swing weight low during aerial maneuvers.

Several design details set the Flow Craft V1 apart within Slingshot's foil board range. The Compressed Curve Outline maintains a clean surfboard-inspired shape while optimizing water flow and pitch stability. A Shed Deck — a concave scoop in the standing area — brings the rider's feet closer to the foil without sacrificing overall volume, and gives the knees a natural brace point when transitioning from sitting to standing. Additional features include a concave nose profile for smoother touchdowns, an EVA scrape strip for protection during rigging, a GORE-TEX vent plug for automatic pressure equalization, and the Max Trax foil track system for fine-tuning foil placement.

The Flow Craft V1 is oriented toward intermediate-to-advanced wing foilers who have moved past the learning phase and want a board that rewards committed riding. Slingshot positions it for riders focused on freestyle tricks, powered carving, and wave-style foiling rather than light-wind cruising. The design trades some low-end ease for sharper response when the board is loaded up, so it suits conditions with moderate-to-solid wind and riders who are comfortable with water starts on lower-volume shapes.

The outline is tuned to pair with mid-aspect foils, making it a natural match for riders running Slingshot's own mid-aspect wings or similar setups from other brands. Smaller sizes like the 35 L and 45 L target lighter or more advanced riders chasing minimal swing weight for rotations and airs, while the 55 L and 70 L open the door for heavier riders or those who want a bit more float during transitions.

Within Slingshot's board range, the Flow Craft V1 sits as the brand's performance-focused wing foil board — a step up in specialization from earlier multi-use foil platforms like the I-Fly. It has since been succeeded by the Flow Craft V2 for the 2026 model year, which introduces a narrower profile, a tri-surface hull design, and Polymer Matrix Sandwich construction that further reduces weight. The V1 is currently available at closeout pricing, making it a value entry point into Slingshot's dedicated wing foil board lineup. Alongside the Flow Craft line, Slingshot has introduced the Glide Craft V1 for 2026, which targets easier progression and a more forgiving ride compared to the Flow Craft's performance-first approach.
