We sat down with Gabe, Designer at Slingshot. He is one of a team of designers/engineers and focuses on wing, parawing and board design. Between our conversation with Gabe and chat with Bobby not too long ago, it feels like Slingshot have an exciting mix of fresh engineers and established experience and I’m excited to see what other innovations come out in the coming years.

We talked about the following (in no particular order):

- Would a scaled down aeroplane design foil?!

- What his design process/data collection system looks like?

- How the slingshot parawing design is progressing

- Parawing and wing material science

- Long term durability and water retention potential of parawings

- The implication of Alula on wing designs

- How has One-Lock gone down?

- Production board construction

- What he is most proud of

- Artistic design vs optimisation

- Biggest screw up

- Room 101!

- and much much more!
