TECHNICAL FEATURES

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

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
Sustainable 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.

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

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.

Carbon Bedrock Inserts
Light, flexible and super strong, our inserts are reinforced with carbon fiber before being inlaid into the board. Reduces overall board weight, increases pull strength and allows for a more consistent flex under foot.

Ballistic Base
Upgraded base material is harder and more durable, built to withstand the abuse of rocky beaches and abrasive sand.
