IN A NUTSHELL...
Slingshot team rider and two-time world champion Karolina Winkowska designed this custom pro model to satisfy her needs for an aggressive and explosive board that can stand up to the test of the world tour while maintaining enough flex to appeal to the ever-growing population of lighter female riders.
