UFO V4
UFO V4 pushes the zero-strut foil kite forward with a lighter, more efficient feel. A thinner leading edge, refined steering, lighter bar pressure and improved stability on foil — it drifts, disappears and stays where you need it. Best paired with the Slingshot Joystick kitefoil bar.

UFO V4 on Koh Samui
The UFO V4 is a zero-strut foil kite: very light, it drifts and keeps flying without constant input. It is built for riders who already ride a kite foil and want light bar pressure and efficiency in light wind.
On Koh Samui foiling extends the season. A foil needs much less pull, so the lighter days at Nathon Beach (May–October) and the light, variable wind of the October–November transition become rideable. At Nahai Beach (December–April) the flat water is ideal for foiling. New to foiling? Start with our hydrofoil lesson (5,000 THB, 1 h private).
