Product Features

$SLINGSHOT refraction 2020 KITEBOARD KITESURF KITESURFING$

Continuous Rocker

A smooth, consistent curve provides a fast ride, predictable pop, great carving performance and disperses water to soften landings.

V-Spine Bottom

A subtle bottom contour helps break surface tension landings. This makes the hardest drops, feel like walking on clouds.

Inverted NACA Tech Channeling

These Parabolic channels have been inverted to provide a cleaner and more efficient bottom profile. They improve water flow and board speed, grip and pop, edging, general performance and feel yet are more forgiving in the case of rider error

ATOMIC WOOD CORE

Sustainably grown Paulownia gives the lively, springy character that Slingshot boards are famous for. Vertically laminated construction harnesses the collective strength of the wood’s grain and provides strength, durability and consistent flex over the life of the board

SINGLESHOT FUSION SIDEWALLS

We’ve transferred the same technology found in high durometer urethane skateboard wheels into the rail of all our boards. Our innovative manufacturing process literally infuses the rail into the board cores in one single shot, producing unrivaled dampening and durability.
