One-Lock Wake QuickStart Package

The Slingshot One-Lock Wake QuickStart Package is a wake foil bundle built around Slingshot's tool-free One-Lock connection system, pairing a beginner-oriented front wing, stabilizer, and aluminum mast into a single box. Aimed at riders picking up wake foiling for the first time, the package centers on the Ease 1250 front wing — the smallest wing in Slingshot's Ease line — combined with the Verse 270 stabilizer and a 72 cm aluminum mast. Note that this package includes the foil components only; a board is sold separately or as part of a higher-priced board bundle that adds the WF-2 V6.

Slingshot's One-Lock system replaces traditional bolt-together foil assembly with a screw-free, quick-release mechanism. Components plug directly into one another, allowing setup and breakdown in seconds without tools. Beyond convenience, removing exposed screw heads from the foil junctions reduces hydrodynamic drag along the assembly.

• Front Wing: Ease 1250 (1250 cm² surface area, 817 mm span, 5.3 aspect ratio)
• Front Wing Weight: 1.36 kg
• Front Wing Construction: High- and mid-modulus carbon blend with 0° and 45° layup and internal stringer
• Stabilizer: Verse 270 (270 cm²)
• Mast: Aluminum, 72 cm
• Connection System: One-Lock (tool-free)
• Included: Front wing, stabilizer, mast, fuselage, RTS kit, assembly hardware

This package is designed for entry-level wake foilers who want a forgiving setup behind a boat or PWC. The Ease 1250's medium-camber profile places maximum thickness and camber forward, which lowers the stall speed and makes the wing more tolerant of rider input errors during the learning phase. Paired with the 72 cm mast — shorter than the 82 cm masts common on freeride setups — the package keeps the rider closer to the water, reducing the consequences of falls while building confidence.

Riders who already have basic board skills but are new to foiling are the core audience. The Verse 270 stabilizer adds pitch stability, making altitude control more intuitive. As skills progress, the One-Lock interface lets riders swap individual components — moving up to a longer mast, a higher-aspect front wing from Slingshot's Glide line, or a smaller stabilizer — without replacing the entire setup.

Within Slingshot's QuickStart range, this wake-specific package sits alongside the One-Lock Wing QuickStart Package, which ships with the larger Ease 1850 front wing and is oriented toward wing foiling rather than boat-towed riding. The wake version uses the smaller 1250 cm² wing because boat tow speeds generate more than enough power to lift riders on a compact, lower-drag foil. A board-inclusive bundle — typically paired with the WF-2 V6 4'4" wake foil board — is available at a higher price point for buyers who need the full setup.

Compared to competing entry-level wake foil packages such as the Liquid Force Horizon Surf series or the North Sonar Prime Aluminium set, the QuickStart differentiates itself primarily through the One-Lock connection system's tool-free assembly and its component-level upgrade path within Slingshot's broader foil ecosystem.
