EASY / PREDICTABLE / CONFIDENT
The Slingshot One-Lock Ease Front Wing is the most user-friendly option in their One-Lock system.
Design Details:
THE DESIGN DIFFERENCE:
Designed with a forward maximum thickness and medium camber, it offers excellent low-end performance and a forgiving stall point. Our Center Focused Lift concept ensures that lift remains directly under your feet, maintaining stability until the very last moment. This allows riders to stay on foil, even when making mistakes or when the wave’s energy diminishes. If, on the rare occasion that the rider is to hit the front wing, our downturned wing tips offer a much more blunt hit than other sharper wing tips in the market.
WHO IT’S FOR:
The Ease line of front wings is designed for riders seeking an entry-level foil that will support them through turns, foot swaps, pumping, and tacks. Built to grow with you, the Ease line of wings in the One-Lock series provides the confidence to advance your riding skills without sacrificing stability and control.
Package Includes:
One-Lock Ease Front Wing, Protective Cover, Replacement One-lock Latch kit
FORGIVING MEDIUM CAMBER PROFILE:
The Slingshot Ease series of front wings features a forgiving medium camber profile with maximum thickness and camber positioned far forward. This design results in a very low stall speed, making the wing more forgiving and easier to ride.

Features:
-
One-Lock™ Latch - Our front wings come with a preinstalled One-Lock™ latch to secure the front and rear wings inside the collar on the bottom of the mast. Each wing includes an additional replacement OneLock™ latch.
-
Fillets - Our wings incorporate fillets to increase their overall strength. These fillets also help minimize drag, resulting in a more efficient performance.
-
Slingshot Stiff Construction - The wings are constructed with a blend of high and mid modulus carbon, creating a stiff, high-performance wing. The carbon layers are strategically positioned at 0° along the span to maximize stiffness and at 45° to prevent wing twist. Additionally, an internal stringer has been incorporated to further enhance the wing’s stiffness.
-
Monobloc Front Wing - The front part of our fuselage section is now molded into the front wing using a Carbon Arc Layup, reducing drag and creating a stronger connection for increased responsiveness. The construction of the fuselage section is consistent across the One-Lock line, further ensuring reliable control and performance while enhancing the direct feedback from the front wing.
-
Hand Finished - All of our front wings are hand-finished to precisely tune the flow of water off the trailing edge and tips. This meticulous process results in a more efficient foil and a smoother ride on the water.
-
Forgiving Medium Camber Profile - Our Kite 1255 Front Wing features a forgiving medium camber profile with maximum thickness and camber positioned far forward. This design results in a very low stall speed, making the wing more forgiving and easier to ride.
-
High Speed Profile - Our Kite 755 features a high-speed profile that keeps the front wing loose in the water. Whether at high or low speeds, the 755 responds quickly and avoids the lockout effect common in other front wings.
-
Medium-High Speed Profile - Our Kite 855 features a medium-high-speed profile that keeps the front wing loose in the water. Whether at high or low speeds, the 855 responds quickly and avoids the lockout effect often seen in other front wings.
