Last month, The Slingshot crew headed north from Charleston, SC to the Outer Banks of North Carolina for a first of its kind mission at Slingshot. A surf, kite, foil, and boat trip all packed into one!
They recruited pro surfers Ben Gravy and Brett Barley as well as Slingshot team members James Jenkins and Reed Brady for the ultimate “foil mixer”.
The plan was to ride foils as many different ways and places as possible and spread the love of flight throughout OBX. Foil surfing behind the boat, paddling into waves, towing in, behind kites, and anything else they could come up with! They also happened to score some epic surf conditions during the week, and the boy couldn’t resist a few “traditional” rides doing what they do best!
