![]() The G900 rides with a little less top end speed, but makes up for it with low end and pump. This trend continues for the G900 relative to the PTM 930. That being said, the G800 still wants to go fast and carry speed. The G800 is more than capable for high-speed winging, kiting, or towing, yet has a bit better low end and stall speed than the PTM 825. For riders who want speed of a small high aspect, but forgiveness of a mid-aspect foil, the G800 is the ticket. The lower aspect ratio offers much better low end over the similar sized PTM foil, and more glide for the relative size. In a similar size, but lower aspect ratio, the G800 foil has a little different feel than the PTM series. The 930 has plenty of top speed to handle nearly any wave, and has the pump and glide for multiple connections. The 930 still wants to ride fast but does have a touch of forgiveness that heavier riders, or prone foilers will appreciate. Going one step larger to the PTM 930 will trade a bit of top end speed and overall maneuverability but riders will gain a noticeable amount of glide and low end. The 825 will perform best for fast sports like wing/kite/tow foiling, or lighter riders prone foiling. Anytime the 825 drops out of its ideal top end operating range, the rider is met with an abrupt and immediate loss of lift. ![]() The shorter span of the 825 combined with the low surface area creates a very loose, free, and fun ride with the key to success being overall speed. As soon as the 825 gets on foil it immediately engages and flies upwind. Both in small waves and downwind conditionsĪs expected with the high aspect ratio PTM foils, the straight-line speed is extraordinary. This foil was tested using a 4'6 x 19.5, 33L board, 3m wing, wind 25-35mph. Every bit of the Phantasm PTM/G series is designed around a stiff, locked in, energy efficient design that will perform at all levels. The high modulus mast allows for fantastic energy transfer into the foil and minimizes deflection. The pedestal is very large to disperse the foil load evenly, and has a variety of mounting options that will be compatible with nearly every board and rider. The oversize mast/fuselage connection provides a very secure, locked in feel, and the rear bolt of the front wing connects the wing, fuselage, and mast, creating one solid system. For riders looking for ultimate pump and low-end control, the G900 or G1000 will be the best match.īuilding off the first-generation Phantasm three-piece platform (front wing, fuselage, tailwing), the new Phantasm PTM and G series retain all the high quality, large surface area connections that provide a stiff and solid ride. The G800 is the fastest of the series, with a top speed on par with the middle size high aspect foils. The G series foils are a lower aspect ratio than the PTM front wings which will provide a bit more range and stability at the cost of some top end speed. ![]() Slingshot’s new G series front wings are compatible with the Phantasm system and offer a different feel than the high aspect PTM series foils. The smallest 825 foil will be great for riders looking for top end speed, the medium 930 foil will offer a balance between top speed and glide, and for riders looking for the most lift and glide, the 1001 will be up to the task. Three different front wing sizes will cover any riding condition and any skill level. ![]() The Slingshot Phantasm PTM series is the next generation of the high-aspect Phantasm foil kit.
