2020 Slingshot Space Skate 65cm Carbon Wing

Nope, this is NOT a new breed of Razor scooter or strange Loony Tunes/Michael Jordan movie. In fact, it’s one of the most playful wings that you will find for hydro-foiling. The Space Skate 65cm wing has a dihedral “gull wing” shaped profile. This gull wing design allows the wing to quickly transition from edge to edge and bring the foil back under your feet after the turn is completed. This makes the foil feel bouncy and skateboard-like in its turns. Since this wing does not have a high top speed, it encourages that type of freeriding. Due to its popularity, the Space Skate has earned its spot as the front wing for the 2019 Slingshot FKite foil and paired with a new 28″ mast for new foilers and the growing freeride group. This wing is unique in size and shape and it does not have many similar attributes to anything currently in the industry. It’s best to ignore the surface area on this one as it rides roughly 20% smaller than it’s measurements indicate and does have a relatively low top end speed due to its drag.

What Slingshot has to say about the Space Skate Front Wing

The Space Skate is the most maneuverable in the lineup, it’s shape makes it easy to do tight turns and is a lot of fun to rip on. The Space Skate 65 has a good amount of lift at slow to medium speeds and is still really easy to hook into a turn at top speed. Best suited for small to medium waves with a good amount of power.

KITE:

The Space Skate 65 wing is perfect for learning how to foil. With its extremely low take off speed, beginners are able to use a small kite and have less power. This wing also makes managing your speed once you are foiling easier and therefore safer.
