Slingshot V1.1 UFO Kiteboarding Kite
Are you prepared for out-of-this-world foil performance? The all-new UFO will take you there - and beyond-as the lightest LEI kite ever produced. Built off a strutless design, the UFO is lighter, faster, and more efficient than anything else on the market - that's why it's the Unlimited Foiling Object.
We sacrificed nothing and maximized everything when we designed the all-new strutless UFO to be our pure, unlimited performance foiling kite. The UFO has a compact Swept-C canopy shape for direct and instant handling, as well as insane range and power control, and an IRS bridle for immediate response. Off of that strutless design and bridle configuration, we made the canopy out of lightweight fabrics and then stripped the UFO down to just the bare essential in order to make it the ultimate foiling machine with unbelievable handling and space-age drift.
