Slingshot Glide 2019 Kiteboard
IN A NUTSHELL...
The 2019 Glide is Slingshot's dedicated light-wind cruiser. A Long and relatively thin outline make the glide extremely manageable in the water. This means that beginners will love this board to learn on and advanced riders will enjoy more performance and control than other light wind twin tips.

Beginners love the Slingshot Glide because it planes early and helps them stay up wind; experienced riders love it because it handles more like a twin tip than a barn door, which many light wind boards have been compared to. Staying true to the expression “Glide to Ride,” the 2019 Glide’s long, slender outline, block rail profile and mild rocker combine for a fun freeride and freestyle-friendly board you’ll be happy to take for a cruise any time the wind looks a bit too light for your standard twin tip.
