2027 Slingshot Project Drag Foil Board

Description

The 2027 Slingshot Project Drag is a board for parawing, wing foiling and downwind riding, built to stay under your feet during high-speed turns, touchdowns and open-ocean riding. Slingshot designed it with Ken Adgate and Kyle Touhey around high-commitment turns, messy touchdowns and real ocean conditions, so it stays stable when you are pushing yourself. A distinct rocker line, rounded bottom shaping and aggressive chines help it release cleanly from the water and prevent rail catches when you are leaned over.

Key features

• Rounded bottom shape: lets the nose and forward section peel off the water quickly during touchdowns.
• Aggressive forward chines: reduce rail catches and let the board redirect instead of tripping up.
• Increased tail rocker: keeps the tail from sticking, and improves pumping and maneuverability.
• Matched rocker profile: follows the curve of the swell for a more natural feel in those conditions.
• Tuttle system integration: on the Tuttle version, a stiff, low-drag, direct connection between board and foil for more control.
• Carbon tracks: on the Track version, a stiff, direct connection between board and foil for direct control.

The feel

Slingshot describes the ride as composed, predictable and direct. The board is shaped to maintain control and speed when the rider is fully committed, using rocker, rail geometry and a balanced design to prevent unwanted behavior while on foil.

Technology

Slingshot designed the board as part of a complete system with its Project Drag mast and foil, aiming for a more direct connection and trusting behavior across different riding conditions.

Who it’s for

Slingshot built it for downwind parawing runs, wing freeride and high-speed open-ocean conditions. It is tagged for freeride, freestyle, surf/prone, wave riding and parawing, and rates highly on touchdown recovery, stability, efficiency and reactivity.

• You ride downwind or in open-ocean conditions.
• You want a board that recovers cleanly from touchdowns.
• You push speed and carving on the water.

Questions we get asked

What makes the Project Drag different from other boards?

Slingshot says it is designed with hard turning in mind, not takeoff.

How does it handle touchdowns?

The rounded bottom shape and forward chines let the board release quickly without sticking or grabbing.

Why is the tail rocker different?

The increased tail rocker keeps the tail from sticking while you pump and helps the board stay above the water in messy conditions.

What is the difference between Track and Tuttle?

They are two ways the foil connects to the board. The Tuttle version uses an integrated Tuttle system for a stiff, low-drag, direct connection, and the Track version uses a standard carbon track design. Choose the one that matches your foil, and call the shop if you are not sure which your foil uses.

What type of riding is it built for?

Downwind parawing runs, wing freeride and high-speed open-ocean riding.

Which size should I choose?

Board size depends on rider weight, skill and the foil you plan to ride. Slingshot publishes a size chart for the Project Drag range.
