Sam Light winging it at the Harbour on his Dart V1, Slingshots hard-charging speed machine!
“Push the Dart, and the Dart pushes right back. Designed to escape the monotony of low power wings meant for cruising swell, The Dart is an animal all its own. The Dart V1 will set speed records, hang time will be counted. If you are done drifting down swell and want to take your wing straight to the stratosphere, pushing boundaries in every dimension…grab a Dart and set your target. “
Why We Made It
Winging is entering a new phase of radical manoeuvres and our team riders were ready to escape the monotony of wings made primarily for drifting. The Dart was explicitly designed for HIGH SPEED, HUGE JUMPS, and BACKFLIPS.
The Dart’s Delta shape provide riders lightning-fast acceleration and the ability to penetrate the wind to meet any swell, anywhere, with full power. The massive hangtime and loft our team demanded when jumping this wing resulted from the differential pressure rolling over the huge LE and into the extended dihedral canopy. We also wanted a wing with a shorter wingspan to help out or shorter riders and allow the wingtips to clear the water in next level spins and flips.
Why You’ll Love It
