Slingshot UFO V4 Foil Kite

The Slingshot UFO V4 takes one of the most recognizable foil-specific kite designs and makes it lighter, cleaner, and even easier to fly. Built around Slingshot's proven zero-strut platform, the UFO V4 is designed for riders who want exceptional drift, minimal bar pressure, efficient power, and a kite that requires very little attention while you're on foil.

For V4, Slingshot refined the UFO with a thinner leading edge, lighter steering feel, and improved stability, particularly when riding downwind or toeside. The result is a kite that feels exceptionally free in the window and allows you to concentrate on your foil, your line, and the water ahead rather than constantly managing the kite.

Whether you're cruising, carving swell, riding downwind, or chasing maximum efficiency in lighter conditions, the UFO V4 is purpose-built to make kite foiling feel simple and connected.

Zero-Strut Foil-Specific Design

The UFO V4's defining feature remains its zero-strut construction. Removing traditional canopy struts reduces weight and allows the kite to stay airborne with very little wind or line tension.

That lightweight construction is especially noticeable while riding swell or heading downwind. As you move toward the kite and reduce tension in the lines, the UFO is designed to continue drifting with you instead of demanding constant steering input.

For experienced foil riders, that creates the feeling everyone wants from a dedicated foil kite: less time thinking about the kite and more time riding the foil.

Improved Downwind & Toeside Stability

One of the most important refinements to the UFO V4 is its improved stability while riding downwind and toeside.

Foiling can quickly remove tension from the flying lines, especially while carving swell or riding toward the kite. The V4 has been refined to remain more composed in these situations, helping reduce the amount of correction required from the rider.

The result is a kite that feels comfortable following you through turns and transitions while allowing you to focus on your foil and line choice.

Lighter, More Intuitive Steering

The UFO V4 features lighter bar pressure and refined steering response, making small kite adjustments feel smooth and predictable.

That lighter steering is particularly useful for foiling, where subtle inputs can make a significant difference. The kite is easy to position in the window, comfortable to control one-handed, and responsive without constantly pulling for your attention.

Thinner Leading Edge

A redesigned thinner leading edge helps improve the UFO V4's efficiency through the air.

Combined with the lightweight zero-strut platform, the refined profile gives the V4 a clean, efficient feel while maintaining the drift characteristics that have made the UFO such a popular dedicated foil kite.

Slingshot also uses higher-aspect designs in the larger UFO V4 sizes, optimizing the platform as kite size and intended wind range increase.

Lightweight, Purpose-Built Construction

The UFO V4 uses Slingshot's DLE 140 leading-edge material paired with a D2 canopy and D4 leading-edge reinforcement to balance low weight with the durability required for regular sessions.

DCPRO401 bridle lines complete the foil-specific platform, helping maintain precise kite control without unnecessarily adding weight to the system.

Who Is the UFO V4 For?

The UFO V4 is a dedicated kite for riders who spend their time on foil and value drift, efficiency, low bar pressure, and effortless handling.

It's particularly well suited to riders who enjoy carving swell, riding downwind, spending extended periods toeside, or simply want a kite that stays stable without requiring constant attention.

Rather than trying to make one kite do everything, Slingshot has continued to refine the UFO around what matters specifically for kite foiling. The V4 takes that concept further with lighter steering, improved stability, and an increasingly efficient platform.
