The SlingWing V4 boasts an entirely new high-tension canopy design that redefines balance, power, stability, and ease of use. This groundbreaking design elevates every aspect of our flagship wing, making it more balanced and user-friendly.
No matter how or where you choose to use it, this wing excels across all performance metrics. Exclusive to Slingshot, it features the innovative SlingGrip EVA with a Click Connect handle system, offering you exceptional control and convenience.
The elevated pistol grip front handle enhances your control while luffing or switching hands, providing a superior riding experience. These handles attach and detach with a simple click, making travel packing more compact. Additionally, you have the option to purchase soft or carbon handles separately.
**Key Features:**
**TRUE TENSION AIRFRAME DESIGN:** The True Tension Airframe features a calculated taper from the center of the LE wing to the wing tips, creating a revolutionary high-tension canopy medium span wing design. It offers superior balance, exceptional handling, and best-in-class flex characteristics. The TrueTaper Airframe maintains rigidity in the front while allowing wing tip flexibility for precise control in gusty conditions or when surfing.
**FRAMELITE CONSTRUCTION:** Employed throughout the SlingWing V4's airframe, FrameLite is a high-tenacity polyester with biaxial gridding and extensive emulsion coating. This construction eliminates stretch in all directions, providing better power control, balanced feel, and stable, effortless luffing while surfing. FrameLite's unique 2x2 weave structure significantly reduces airframe elongation, increasing multi-season durability while maintaining optimal balance between flex, strength, stiffness, and weight at 160 grams per square meter.
**RIGID H-GRID CANOPY CONSTRUCTION:** The SlingWing V4 incorporates H-Grid Rigid canopy construction, doubling horizontal canopy paneling. This strategic seaming pattern enhances the high-tension canopy profile, reinforcing seams to prevent canopy stretch, catastrophic blowouts, or rips caused by foil contact or surf encounters.
**VERSASTRUT:** Featuring a hybrid canted strut design, VersaStrut works in conjunction with H-Grid Rigid Canopy Construction to control the high-tension canopy profile. It minimizes in-fill wall connection in the mid-section and enables a direct strut-to-canopy connection toward the trailing edge. The forward-canted strut dampens rider input and delivers a rapid response when pumping, evenly distributing loads into the canopy.
**SLINGGRIP ALUMINUM HANDLES:** The SlingGrip Aluminum handles offer a reduced 27-millimeter diameter with dual-patterned EVA and a pentagonal circumference designed for all-day comfort and precise roll control. The pistol-grip front handle allows confident luffing and swell riding without adjusting your hand's position, giving you control over wing power during luffing while maintaining the trailing edge up.
**CLICKCONNECT:** The ClickConnect handle connection system is the quickest and easiest available. No tools are needed; simply slide the handle into the strut's connection point until it clicks securely in place. Superiorly engineered, the ClickConnect mounts are sewn around the strut to distribute load evenly and eliminate pinch points.
**Who It's For?**
The SlingWing V4 is the ultimate choice for riders aiming to elevate their skills. It's perfect for those seeking enhanced control, effortless tacking, and a compact wingspan for seamless on-the-water transitions and jumps. The nose handle's upward lift enhances drifting capabilities, making it ideal for swell riding and flagging out.
