Fred Hope | Feel The Difference - Slingshot Is Back!

Has Slingshot reclaimed its position as one of the most innovative foiling companies in the industry? In this episode of the FOILERS Podcast, I spoke to Fred Hope, a world champion kiteboarder who now plays a lead role in product development at Slingshot. Backed by extensive experience in watersports, Fred takes new product ideas from inception through to design, testing, refinement, and market release. I asked Fred many of the questions people have been asking me about their one-lock foil system, and as you will discover, there is more to it than simply being able to put your foils together without screws. We also explored Slingshot's 2026 range of wings and boards, talking about their design approach, how they compare to previous models and why people should consider them when upgrading their gear. It's a pivotal time at Slingshot, with a range of talented designers driven to create innovative and compelling products that put Slingshot at the forefront of the evolving, growing foiling disciplines. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced wing foiler, there is something in this episode for everyone. If you are into downwinding, prone foiling, and dock starting, you will also enjoy the episode with a range of new products coming your way. Enjoy!
