I must have been nice this year because Santa brought me a new board and a windy week's vacation in south Florida!

Many thanks to my wife Kristen for the footage and for dropping everything to go play with me even though it's her busy time of year!

Info for the fellow gear heads:
Board: Slingshot Shred Sled
Light air: Goya 5.7 and Moses 1100
Breeze: Naish Nalu 4.5 and Moses 790

Dude! you are killing it. I am reluctantly considering giving the strapless thing another go on the SS, but your video has given me quite a bit of inspiration to master the strapless thing.

What were your mast track and foil track settings?

Thanks mate! The strapless aspect has been my favorite part so far. The sail is in the middle of the track and the foil is all the way aft.

Currently going strapless on the shredsled, so I can widen the sail to foil mast distance (easier to pump and easier to gybe).

Conclusions, so far: It is a great one board quiver for anyone interested in freeride foiling. It has a surfy feel and handles quite a bit of wind. However, it lacks the low end of a big fatty like the levitator. Throw in learning to wing and sup foiling and it makes a great allrounder for someone getting in to foiling, or for a traditional wave sailor that isn't keen on the slalomly feeling of most other big windfoil boards.

UTC confirming that the shredsled is a great option for those wave/freeriding windsurfers who want to dabble in foiling.

Baby shredsled! I like the look of those boxier rails

That Baby Shred Sled is pretty cool looking. I was pretty excited to see what they may do as far as a "new" Shred Sled, but at 5'9" and 110L, that is probably out of range for windfoiling for me.

I am a bit excited by the Wing Raider boards and even the inflatable wingfoiling boards though.

Yeah. I wonder if the next version of the large shredsled will come down in volume a bit and adopt the tail of the baby one (that could be perfect for bigger dudes). Usually windsurf companies keep the same mold for about three years though I think.

I expect this new shredsled to get going in lighter wind (with sail) better than the old one cause of the boxy tail. Hopefully I snag one when it is released and get to test this theory.

That would be fantastic if it got going well in lighter wind for windfoiling. I haven't had any real success with the OG Shred Sled yet, other than wingfoiling. Last time I tried I had a new Neil Pryde HP foil setup, but I only had the short fuse and I think was a major issue for me getting on foil. The board and foil jet wanted to slide around as I was trying to pump.

Has there been any pictures of the new baby Shred Sled yet?
