Slingshot LTF V2
Compact / Rigid / Durable
The Slingshot LTF V2 (Learn To Foil) is engineered to be the most user-friendly foil board on the market. Designed to eliminate the steep learning curve, the LTF V2 makes waterstarts simpler, flights steadier, and progression feel like second nature. With its high-stability outline, forgiving rocker, and confidence-inspiring deck, this is the premier platform for riders who want to focus on flying rather than fighting their gear.
The LTF V2 is Designed For:
-
Entry-Level & Progressing Foilers: New riders who want the most forgiving board to build skills fast.
-
Stability Seekers: Anyone who needs a steady platform for waterstarts, touchdowns, and mastering their first jibes.
-
Safety & Comfort Focused: Riders who value a soft, comfortable deck and predictable control at slower learning speeds.
-
Multi-Sport Enthusiasts: Foilers looking for a durable, reliable board that can also be used for wind-suping or wing-skating.
WHY THE LTF V2 IS THE BEST BOARD TO LEARN TO FOIL
1. Confidence-First Stability
The LTF V2 feels rock-solid from the moment you step on it. The board’s specific volume distribution and outline are designed to dampen "wobble" and help you find your center of gravity quickly. In the world of foiling, stability equals more flight time and faster progress. It turns the intimidating first session into an approachable, fun experience.
2. Forgiving Touchdowns & Recovery
Crashing is part of the process, but the LTF V2 ensures touchdowns don't end your run. Its specialized rocker and hull shape are tuned to "skip and release" when you reconnect with the water instead of grabbing and throwing you over the nose. These "save-it" moments give you the confidence to push harder and progress through the learning curve.
3. Predictable, Twitch-Free Control
Unlike "pro-level" boards that can feel nervous or twitchy, the LTF V2 responds cleanly and stays manageable at slower speeds. As you advance, it remains a supportive partner through turns and transitions. The ergonomic deck allows for long, fatigue-free sessions, so you spend less time fighting for balance and more time flying.
ADVANCED PRODUCT TECHNOLOGY
The LTF V2 combines the convenience of an inflatable with the stiffness required for high-performance foiling:
-
Stiff Carbon Bottom Plate: Provides a rigid connection to the foil for a direct, "hard-board" feel and instant response.
-
SUP Winder Fin Box: A game-changer for beginners—add a center fin to stay upwind while learning to wing before you even start foiling.

-
Soft Carry Handle: Easy to transport from the car to the water, even with a foil attached.

FCS II Connect SUP Fin: Tool-less fin installation for easy tracking during non-foiling sessions.
-
D-Rings: Secure attachment points for leashes and towing.
