146 Interview Alex Fox: thanks to Slingshot foiling is today First, as you said, it is a great expression of customer service. Slingshot has always prided itself on excellent and personal customer service and this is our way of addressing a need we heard from many of our customers. Second, and just as important, is that we are in the business of getting people out on the water and having fun on all types of Slingshot gear. Foiling as an amazing aspect of kiteboarding and we are confident it is going to continue to grow in popularity. There’s no benefit to us if people are intimidated by foiling and are unwilling to try it, or give up because they have a bad experience. By providing a free learning resource, we are investing in foiling as a whole, and in the possibility of creating customers who see value in the course and decide to invest in the equipment it utilizes. KS_The kitefoil discipline is growing up all over the world and Slingshot is knee deep into this movement. What's the best innovation in your hydrofoil gear? If we’re using “knee deep” as the metaphor, I’d say we are free and clear and racing ahead, while others are knee deep in the rearview. If you look at what we’ve innovated over the last couple of years, and what we have coming in the near future, it’s clear that Slingshot carving out a name as a premier foil brand, and not just in kiteboarding. Tony Logosz, our chief designer, has his ear to the ground and is very in tuned to the future of all types of foiling. This
is an exciting and rapidly changing movement, and it’s safe to say we have one of the most innovative and forward-thinking designers in the industry on our side. To answer your question specifically, I think our multi-mast Flight School system and Hover Glide foil is our best innovation to date. Flight School instantly made foiling more achievable and accessible to riders around the world. The fact that every manufacturer in the industry is scrambling to create their own version is a testament to its efficacy.
