About this kite

The UFO is Slingshot's strutless radical: a zero-strut canopy of ultra-minimal weight built first for foiling, on a FrameLITE airframe of 160 g/m² high-tenacity polyester. It flies in whispers of wind, drifts naturally and packs to nothing. Now in its fourth version. Twintip riders should look elsewhere — foilers should look nowhere else.
