Description
The Slingshot One-Lock Kite Front Wings are designed for kite foilers who want a clean, modular foil setup with consistent performance across a wide range of conditions. Built specifically for the One-Lock foil system, these front wings allow you to change lift and speed characteristics without changing your entire foil.
They’re aimed at riders who value predictability, easy tuning, and a setup that grows with their riding rather than limiting it.
Who It’s For
- Discipline: Kite foiling
- Conditions: Flat water to open-coast chop
- Experience level: Intermediate to advanced
- Ideal rider: Someone who wants modular tuning, reliable control, and a foil that remains stable when fully powered
Key Features That Matter
-
One-Lock system compatibility
Designed exclusively for the Slingshot One-Lock foil platform, allowing fast, repeatable front-wing changes without altering mast or fuselage setup. -
Balanced lift profiles
Each size delivers usable lift without excessive drag, keeping the foil controllable as speed increases. -
Stable roll and pitch control
Helps maintain composure through gusts, upwind riding, and higher-speed carving. -
Kite-foil specific design
Built to handle the higher loads and speeds of kite foiling compared to wing or surf foiling.
Real-World Feel
On the water, the One-Lock Kite Front Wings feel planted and predictable. They track cleanly at speed, stay calm when powered, and don’t surge unexpectedly when you load the foil.
Compared to surf- or wing-oriented front wings, these prioritise control and efficiency over looseness. That makes them especially comfortable for longer sessions, higher speeds, and powered riding in stronger wind.
Fit & Setup Notes
- Compatibility: Slingshot One-Lock foil system only
- Recommended use: Kite foiling
- Stabiliser pairing: Best paired with kite-specific stabilisers for balanced pitch control
-
Sizing advice:
- Larger wings = earlier lift and lower take-off speed
- Smaller wings = higher speed and stronger wind control
If you’re unsure which size suits your weight or local conditions, we’re happy to advise.
Size-Specific Buying Advice
Choosing the right Slingshot One-Lock Kite Front Wing depends on your body weight, typical wind strength, and how powered you like to ride. All sizes share the same stable feel, but each targets a different riding window.
775 cm²
Best for: Strong wind, smaller kites, fast riding
- Rider weight: 60–85 kg
- Wind range: 18–30+ knots
- Ride feel: Fast, direct, very controlled at speed
- Ideal use: High-wind sessions, powered freeride, carving at speed
The 775 is suited to confident riders who regularly ride fully powered. It remains composed at speed and avoids feeling over-lifty in strong wind.
855 cm²
Best for: All-round kite foiling
- Rider weight: 70–95 kg
- Wind range: 14–25 knots
- Ride feel: Balanced lift with solid top-end control
- Ideal use: Everyday freeride foiling, mixed conditions, one-wing quiver
The 855 is the most versatile wing in the range and the safest choice if you want one front wing to cover most sessions.
1255 cm²
Best for: Light wind and heavier riders
- Rider weight: 85–110+ kg
- Wind range: 8–18 knots
- Ride feel: Early lift, forgiving, stable at low speed
- Ideal use: Light-wind foiling, bigger kites, relaxed cruising
The 1255 focuses on early take-off and efficiency, making it ideal for marginal conditions or riders prioritising easy lift over top speed.
Which Size Should I Choose?
| Your Situation | Recommended Size |
|---|---|
| I ride mostly in strong wind (18+ knots) | 775 cm² |
| I want one wing to cover most conditions | 855 cm² |
| I ride light wind or use larger kites | 1255 cm² |
| I’m under 75 kg and ride powered | 775 or 855 cm² |
| I’m over 90 kg or want easy lift | 1255 cm² |
| I want a two-wing quiver | 1255 + 775 or 855 |

FAQs
Are these wings suitable for wing foiling or surf foiling?

Do I need a different fuselage for each wing size?
No. All front wings swap directly onto the same One-Lock setup.
Are these beginner-friendly?
They’re best suited to intermediate and advanced riders. Beginners may prefer larger, lower-speed learning foils.
Will these fit older Slingshot foil systems?
No. They are only compatible with the One-Lock foil platform.
