Slingshot's Patent Pending Shift Fuse is singular on the market- it allows you to move the position of the foil wings relative to your foil mast, so you can adjust the balance point forward or backward depending on your personal board/stance/goals/conditions etc. This can give you totally different sensations on the water and is an ingenious method of allowing you to fine tune your ride without buying tons of extra stuff! Slingshot for the win!!!
The long fuselage is best for getting some extra stability and going fast, pushing hard upwind while wind foiling, etc. It is still plenty responsive and carves like a dream, but it settles the ride down compared to the extra sporty short fuselage! Choose the short fuselage for max responsiveness and a really playful ride, sacrificing a bit of stability for increased maneuverability!
The long fuselage allows for three different mast positions.
The short fuselage allows for two different mast positions.
