Taking what we learned about High Tension wings from developing the SlingWing NXT, we were able to increase balance, power, stability, and ease of use of the SlingWing V5 in comparison to the SlingWing V4. This revolutionary design enhances all elements of our flagship wing. Refinements in new materials, leading-edge shape, and our high-tension canopy profile make the SlingWing V5 more balanced and easier to fly. This wing excels across all performance metrics no matter how or where you use it. The SlingWing V5 comes with the new SlingGrip Uni Handle to maximise control and power delivery. Once trying the Uni Handle you will never ride a two-handle wing again.
WHO IT’S FOR
The SlingWing V5 is the ultimate product for riders looking for a wing to help them take their skills to the next level. For riders seeking increased control and effortless tacking with a compact wingspan for on-the-water transitions or entering the Glide Zone.
The SlingGrip Uni Handle is our new favourite way to control the wing. Instead of two individual handles, the Uni Handle is one long handle that spans the entire wing. This means the rider can slide their hand back for more power, ride one handed, have more control and ease of use, and avoid the constant search for their handles when coming out of a tack or jibe.
***Compatible with SlingWing V5 and SlingWing NXT.
Sizes
1010mm Uni Handle for 4.5m wings and above. 800mm Uni Handle for 4.0m wings and below.
The SlingWing NXT is the ultimate choice for riders looking for state-of-the-art materials and designs to help them take their skills to the next level. Riders seeking increased control and effortless tacking will appreciate the ultra stiff leading edge and lightweight material composition.
SLINGWING NXT - HIGH TENSION / HIGH PERFORMANCE / LIGHT
THE DESIGN DIFFERENCE
The engine that drives the new SlingWing NXT is our new lightweight Aluula Air Frame which can be adjusted in stiffness through leading edge air pressure. 8 PSI produces a soft suspension-like ride, which takes the edge off in strong or gusty winds. Pump it to 11 PSI, and the wing feels like a sports car with performance shocks and tires to produce a sharp and precise feel. Strut pressure is always 10 PSI, and it produces our best new high-tension, high-performance canopy design to date. Advancements in new materials, leading-edge design, and our high-tension canopy profile make the SlingWing NXT balanced and easier to fly with super soft hand pressure. The NXT excels across all performance metrics no matter how or where you choose to use it. Exclusive to Slingshot, the SlingWing NXT features the new SlingGrip EVA with a ClickConnect handle system. The elevated pistol grip front handle delivers greater control when luffing or switching hands. These handles come on and off with a click, which makes packing for travel more compact.
ALUULA NXT AIRFRAME DESIGN
A strategically calculated Reduced Diameter LE from the center of the LE wing to the wing tips, the Aluula Airframe delivers our new revolutionary high-tension, high performance canopy wing design. Offering superior balance and handing with best-in-class flex characteristics. Stiff in the front and transitioning to softer at the wing tips, the Aluula Airframe keeps the first third of the canopy structure smooth and rigid for on-demand power. It allows the wing tips to twist off in gusty conditions or flag out and surf with total control.
ALUULA MATERIAL
Utilized throughout the SlingWing NXT’s airframe, the Aluula material is a high-tenacity, high molecular laminate that features biaxial gridding and extensive emulsion coating, eliminating stretch in all directions. Aluula is the secret behind a lighter wing with all the attributes of the SlingWing NXT, a more balanced feel, better power control, stability, and effortless flagging out for surfing.
RADIAL PANEL CANOPY CONSTRUCTION
We moved panels to match the loading of the canopy while in flight. This was possible because of the stiffness the LE produces to help create the high-tension, high performance canopy. These reinforced seams and a strategic alignment in the canopy prevent stretch.
ALUULA VERSASTRUT
With its hybrid canted strut design. VersaStrut works in conjunction with Radial Panel Canopy Construction to control our high-tension canopy profile. It allows less in-fill wall connection in the mid-section and a direct strut-to-canopy connection toward the trailing edge. The canted forward section of the strut moves the wing further from the rider, which creates significant dampening and takes any slack out of rider input. Connecting the strut directly to the rear of the canopy yields a more direct and rapid response when pumping and distributes load more uniformly into the canopy.
SLINGGRIP HANDLES
The reduced diameter, ergonomically optimized pentagonal circumference of the SlingGrip handles provides all-day comfort and better roll control by matching the exact shape of your grip, plus we added a little extra side wall for fingers to torque against when needed with its 27-millimeter diameter and dual-patterned EVA. A pistol grip front handle allows riders to confidently luff the wing and ride swell without needing to move their hand to the leading-edge webbing handle while still retaining the ability to regulate power and keep the trailing edge up
CLICKCONNECT
The easiest and quickest handle connection available on any wing, the ClickConnect requires no tools to mount your handles. Simply slide the handle into the connection point on the strut until it clicks. Nothing to hurt you or your board. Superiorly engineered, the ClickConnect mounts are sewn around the strut to distribute load and avoid pinch points.
The SlingWing V4 is the ultimate choice for riders looking for a wing to help them take their skills to the next level. Riders seeking increased control and effortless tacking with a compact wingspan for on-the-water transition or spinning on jumps. The upward lift on the nose handle provides enhanced drifting capabilities while flagging out while swell riding.
Balance, power, stability, and ease of use are the hallmark traits of the SlingWing V4's all-new high-tension canopy design. This revolutionary design enhances all elements of our flagship wing. Refinements in new materials, leading-edge design, and our high-tension canopy profile make theSlingWing V4 more balanced and easier to fly. This wing excels across all performance metrics no matter how or where you use it. Exclusive to Slingshot, it features the new SlingGrip EVA with a Click Connect handle system. The elevated pistol grip front handle delivers greater control when luffing or switching hands. These handles come on and off with a click, which makes packing for travel more compact. Soft or carbon handles can be purchased separately.
True Tension
A strategically calculated taper from the center of the LE wing to the wing tips, the True Tension Airframe delivers our new revolutionary high tension canopy medium span wing design. Offering superior balance and handing with best-in- class flex characteristics. Stiff in the front and transitioning to softer at the wing tips, the TrueTaper Airframe keeps the first third of the canopy structure smooth rigid for on-demand power while allowing wing tip twist off in gusty conditions or flag out and surf with total control.
FRAMELITE CONSTRUCTION
Utilized throughout the SlingWing V4’s airframe, this high-tenacity polyester features biaxial gridding and extensive emulsion coating, eliminating stretch in all directions while providing a more balanced feel, better power control, and stable, effortless luffing while surfing. The stiffness of FrameLite’s unique 2x2 weave structure significantly reduces elongation of the airframe and increases multi- season durability. At 160 grams per square meter, FrameLite uncompromisingly offers the optimum balance of flex, strength, stiffness, and weight.
RIGID H-GRID CANOPY CONSTRUCTION
The SlingWing V4 utilizes our new H-Grid Rigid canopy construction. We doubled our horizontal canopy paneling count by implementing a strategic seaming pattern that enables our new high-tension canopy profile. These reinforced seams and a strategic gridded canopy prevent the canopy stretch. It also eliminates catastrophic blowouts or rips in the event your foil goes through your wing or goes through the wringer in the surf.
VERSASTRUT
With its hybrid canted strut design, VersaStrut works in conjunction with HGrid Rigid Canopy Construction to control our high-tension canopy profile. It allows for less in-fill wall connection in the mid-section and direct strut-to-canopy connection toward the trailing edge. The canted forward section of the strut moves the wing further from the rider, which creates significant dampening and takes any slack out of rider input. Connecting the strut directly to the rear of the canopy yields a more direct and rapid response when pumping and distributes loads uniformly into the canopy.
SLINGGRIP ALUMINUM HANDLES
The reduced 27-millimeter diameter with dual-patterned EVA and ergonomically optimized pentagonal circumference of the SlingGrip Aluminum handles provides all-day comfort and better roll control by matching the exact shape of your grip, plus we added a little extra side wall for fingers to torque against when needed. A pistol-grip front handle allows riders to confidently luff the wing and ride swell without needing to move their hand to the leading-edge webbing handle. The angled pistol-grip gives you the ability to regulate power in the wing while luffing and keep the trailing edge up.
CLICKCONNECT
The easiest and quickest handle connection available on any wing, the ClickConnect requires no tools to mount your handles. Simply slide the handle into the connection point on the strut until it clicks. Superiorly engineered, the ClickConnect mounts are sewn around the strut to distribute load and avoid pinch points.
The verdict is in, some folks prefer hard handle wings while others love soft handles. With the addition of the hard-handle version of our ever-popular SlingWing V3, the choice is yours.
Package Includes:
SlingWing V3 Hard Handle, Wrist Leash, Carry Backpack, Patch kit
SLINGWING V3 HARD HANDLE
HARD HANDLES / BALANCED / POWER
We designed the SlingWing V3 to give you significantly more power per size. Using a smaller wing in the same wind provides the advantages of higher speed and increased control with less weight and drag. The larger strut and leading-edge diameter provide a completely rigid frame for big airs with tons of hang time. A tight canopy cancels oscillation and flutter to increases luffing performance. The One Pump Speed System makes inflation quick and simple, while the added dump valve on the strut makes deflation and packing a breeze. The profile entry batten provides smooth aerodynamic shaping where the inflatable leading edge transitions to the wing canopy for efficient air flow across the wing. Light and tough 4x4 Canopy Tech material, combined with our Skate Scuff tough strips on the wingtips and leading edge, provide increased durability for wherever you ride, land or sea. Like its predecessor, the V3 features harness-line attachment points that allow you to use a harness for higher speeds, better tack angles, and longer sessions.

Add a harness line to your wing, and you’re hooked for good. Using Slingshot’s harness line will extend your sessions, allow for more aggressive upwind tack angles and higher speed reaches. Hook in and feel the bliss of effortlessly pinching upwind on long reaches giving yourself ample downwind room to play.
The line attaches and detaches in seconds to the harness line attachment points on Slingshot wings using the pigtail connectors included with the line, and can also be connected directly to handles.
The PU tubing covering the stiff Nylon rope makes for a durable harness line that swings easily onto your harness hood and falls away quickly and stays out of the way after unhooking. Give your arms a break with the Slingshot Universal Wing Harness line.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE THE UNIVERSAL HARNESS LINE
+ Extend your sessions without exhausting your arms + Increased upwind tack angles to gain more ground faster + Higher speed reaches with steady constant power + Quick connect and disconnect with included pigtails + Easily adjustable length
WHY WE MADE IT: UNIVERSAL HARNESS LINE
Winging is so fun that we all want longer sessions. Gliding downwind from swell to swell is one of the best feelings in winging, while straining your arms pinching back upwind without a harness line is nobody’s favorite. The upwind tack angles achievable while hooked in are just not possible without a harness. The first time you hook in....that’s it, you’re hooked for life.
