Slingshot Hope Craft V3 Foil Board – 2026

Ultra-Stiff Construction | Direct Foil Response | Kite, Wake & Pump Foiling

The Slingshot Hope Craft V3 is a premium, high-performance foil board developed in collaboration with professional foiler Fred Hope. Designed for riders looking for maximum responsiveness, control and efficiency, the Hope Craft V3 combines an ultra-stiff construction with a compact, lightweight design.

Whether you're carving aggressively behind a boat, pushing your limits kite foiling or refining your pump foiling technique, the Hope Craft V3 delivers precise energy transfer and an exceptionally direct connection to your hydrofoil.

Its advanced construction combines carbon and fibreglass with reinforced wood and PVC stringers, creating a rigid platform that minimises unwanted flex. Every movement translates more directly into the foil, making the board particularly effective for technical riding, powerful turns and controlled pumping.

Despite its performance-focused design, the Hope Craft V3 features increased nose volume, pronounced rocker and refined bevelled rails to improve recovery during touchdowns.

Who Is the Hope Craft V3 For?

Kite Foiling

Ideal for riders seeking a compact, highly responsive board for high-speed carving, upwind performance and progressive manoeuvres. Its stiffness provides direct feedback, while the compact outline reduces unnecessary board length.

Wake Foiling

An excellent choice for experienced wake foilers who want fast rail-to-rail response and an immediate connection to the foil. Particularly suited to carving boat wakes, riding without the rope and progressing towards more technical manoeuvres.

Pump Foiling

The rigid construction helps transfer pumping movements efficiently into the foil, while the compact design keeps the board responsive underfoot. Suitable for established pump foilers prioritising direct feedback and precise foil control.

Why Choose the Hope Craft V3?

The Hope Craft V3 is about maximising the connection between rider and hydrofoil.

A stiffer board reduces unwanted flex between your feet and the mast, helping transmit energy more directly into the foil. This is particularly valuable for pump foiling, aggressive carving and riding at higher speeds.

For riders who already have good foil control and want a board that responds immediately to their movements, the Hope Craft V3 offers a highly refined performance platform.
