One-Lock UFO Kite Foil Package

The Slingshot One-Lock UFO Kite Foil Package bundles Slingshot's UFO V3 strutless kite with their modular One-Lock hydrofoil system into a single purchase. Designed as a complete kite foiling setup, the package pairs a purpose-built foiling kite with a toolless foil assembly that can be configured and swapped at the beach without wrenches or hex keys. The variant sizes (4m through 11m) refer to the kite size included, allowing buyers to select the UFO V3 that matches their local wind conditions.

Slingshot developed the UFO V3 in collaboration with pro rider Fred Hope, focusing on light-wind efficiency and smooth, progressive power delivery for foiling. The One-Lock foil system uses a lever-lock connection mechanism and wedge-shaped fuselage pieces that nest together, enabling riders to assemble the full foil in seconds with only two hand-tightened screws via the Rapid Track System board mount.

This package targets intermediate to advanced kite foilers who want a complete, integrated setup from a single brand. The UFO V3's zero-strut canopy and Swept C shape deliver usable power in light wind — rated down to 5 knots on the 11m — making it well-suited for riders in marginal conditions who want to maximize time on the water. The progressive power curve avoids sudden surges, which benefits foilers who need consistent pull without being launched off their foil.

Riders stepping up from twin-tip kiteboarding into foiling will appreciate the One-Lock system's modularity: starting with a larger Kite 1255 front wing and Verse 270 stabilizer for stability, then swapping to the Kite 755 wing and Turbo 180 tail as skills progress. The toolless assembly also reduces friction for riders who travel or session multiple spots in a day.

Within Slingshot's catalog, the One-Lock UFO package sits alongside the standard One-Lock Kite Foil Package (which ships without a kite, foil only) and the Fred Hope signature package. The UFO V3 kite itself occupies Slingshot's dedicated foiling slot — distinct from the Code (freeride/freestyle) and Machine (big-air) lines. Adding the kite to the foil package provides a modest discount compared to purchasing the UFO V3 and One-Lock foil components separately.

Competitors in the complete kite-foil package space include the North Reach paired with Sonar foil packages and the Duotone Juice with Spirit Carve foil setups. Slingshot's differentiator is the One-Lock toolless connection system, which no other major brand currently replicates at the same level of modularity across wings, masts, and stabilizers within one ecosystem.
