Скачать или смотреть Slingshot One Lock Glide 925 + Turbo 180 vs Flare 145 | Wake Foil Tested

Ryan and Caden kick off the conversation by diving into their experiences with the Slingshot One Lock system, focusing specifically on the Glide 925 front wing. Caden, affectionately dubbed “Mr. One Lock,” has spent a lot of time on the system this summer, riding it behind boats and consistently praising its performance. A wakeboarder on Michigan State’s team, Caden brings both practical and technical insight into the foil’s behavior behind a boat. Ryan recently had the chance to try the setup and confirmed that it lives up to the hype.

They praised the Glide 925, a front wing known for its blend of glide, carve ability, and stability, making it an ideal crossover for different rider weights and skill levels. Ryan initially rode it with a stabilizer that didn’t suit his preferences but was able to quickly and easily swap it out mid-session thanks to the One Lock system’s tool-free assembly. This ease of use is a significant improvement over traditional foil setups, which often involve fumbling with tools and risking losing parts in the water—something Caden himself experienced on Lake Michigan.

They dive deeper into the performance aspects of the Glide 925, praising its unique anhedral shape and wingtip flare, which provide excellent roll initiation without sacrificing heel-to-toe stability. Ryan especially appreciated how the wing allowed aggressive carving, something not always possible with high-glide, pump-focused foils. The Glide 925 strikes a rare balance—it offers both solid pumping ability and responsive carving, making it highly versatile behind a wake boat.

The conversation then shifts to rear stabilizers, highlighting two standout options: the Turbo 180 and the Flare 145. Ryan preferred the Turbo 180 for its extra pitch stability and more forgiving ride—especially for those newer to the Glide 925. The longer fuselage on the Turbo 180 contributes to a more controlled feel, which Ryan described as “super natural” from the start. On the other hand, Caden favors the Flare 145 for its livelier, more reactive ride. Although it’s twitchier and demands better back-foot control, it rewards experienced riders with tighter carves and responsive feedback.

Caden explains that while he started the season on the Turbo 180, the Flare 145 has become his go-to for its added maneuverability. He emphasizes that the Flare excels in rougher water and supports energetic carving without sacrificing pumping efficiency. Both stabilizers pair well with the Glide 925, but each provides a distinct ride character—Turbo 180 for stability and ease of use, Flare 145 for advanced carving and dynamic response.

Ryan and Caden also briefly compare Slingshot’s Glide system with other brands like Code Foils, noting that the Glide feels more like “driving” the foil rather than simply “riding” it. Caden underscores how the setup encourages intentional, technical riding rather than passive gliding, especially when paired with smaller boards like the WF 100 or 110.

The video closes with Ryan recommending the Turbo 180 as a starting point for most riders interested in the One Lock system, especially those getting into the Glide series. Once comfortable, upgrading to a Flare stabilizer can unlock a new level of responsiveness. Both hosts reiterate how impressed they’ve been with the One Lock’s convenience, performance, and versatility across different riding styles and conditions.

Ryan wraps things up by inviting viewers to reach out with any questions or to comment on their own wake foil setups. He playfully challenges others to beat his personal record of 33 seconds for fully assembling the One Lock foil system from a dismantled state—highlighting just how quick and simple the system really is.
