Hi foilers,

Just like to give a few thoughts on the new Slingshot small SUP/Prone surf wing. Took advantage of a very light wind on the river with the 14.5m North Ace foil kite with 18m lines and attached the Infinity to the bottom of a new Fanatic board. Due to forgetting my harness, I jury rigged a quick seat harness from my tie down straps which did the job but was less than ideal so didn't really want any strong load due to discomfort around my groin and thighs.

That said, the Infinity on the Fanatic was amazing. It was up and flying at around a brisk walking pace and remained super stable. The wind was around 8 knots when I went out and increased to a little over 10 knots, then dropped back down to 6 knots again at the end. It was the most cruisey and fun session in the light winds of the river and as I was the only one out of the river for much of it, I pretty much had one of those zen sessions. Quiet and peaceful foiling up to around 15 knots board speed. The super low end of the Infinity made tacks and gybes really easy considering the kite didn't like the light wind and faster downwind carving turn so I slowed, cranked the kite and carved a nice tight turn on the foil to help me get pressure back in the lines to complete the down loops.

The short board and big wing on the 24" mast made pumping easy and I'm gagging to get the chance to put it through it's paces in the surf given the right conditions.

Super slow foiling was new for me as I'm usually trying to go fast. Certainly has it's place. If you're a looking for some cruisey fun or an easy prone wing, or for an easy SUP surf experience, then this is something to have a crack on.
