Design Difference
1255 | Confidence and Control
- The most user-friendly wing in the One-Lock kite series, the 1255 provides excellent low-end performance and a forgiving stall point.
- Features a forward maximum thickness and medium camber profile, ensuring lift remains centered underfoot.
- Ideal for riders learning to foil while also helping them later to master transitions, foot swaps, pumping, and tacks.
855 | Precision and Playfulness
- Bridges the gap between beginner-friendly stability and high-performance speed.
- Combines the low-end stability of the 1255 with the speed and agility of the 755.
- Precision-tuned wingtips with a downturn twist ensure consistent lift, allowing for smooth acceleration and deceleration.
755 | Masterful Control for High-Performance Carving
- Built in collaboration with Fred Hope, this wing delivers unmatched speed, responsiveness, and agility.
- High-speed profile allows for effortless direction changes and advanced carving.
- Downturn wing tip twist maintains consistent lift and balance across a wide range of speeds.

Tech Features
Kite 755 High Speed Profile
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
Kite 855 Medium-High Camber Profile
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.
Kite 1255 Medium Camber Profile
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
Fillets
The wings incorporate fillets to increase their overall strength. These fillets also help minimize drag, resulting in a more efficient performance.
Slingshot Stiff Construction
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.
Hand Finished
All 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.
