Newly redesigned for 2011, the classic Slingshot Verve 6'0" Tri-Fin is the perfect board for heavier riders in light wind and excels for all riders in onshore conditions or clean surf. Morphing from a quad in 2010 to a tri fin in 2011, the Verve is more snappy and livelier than ever before.
Made in the WVS construction family the Verve, with its wide outline,is a great all around performer that performs in the broadest surf conditions available. The mini tuttle fin box provides super structure when reefs or shoreline crop up. And the new tri fin configuration makes the Verve pivot turn to make "smacking the lip" timeless fun and easy all day long.

Slingshot Board Tech
WVS construction:
Tony and Jeff Logosz were early pioneers in PVC sandwich surf construction as early as the mid 1980's. Today we use a greener more earth friendly approach by substituting PVC foam for a wood sandwich. According to Tony Logosz, wood is a magic material if used correctly. We use it to control durability and the flex of the boards. On top of those benefits it is allowing us to implement a green movement inside Slingshot. We are consciously making products that are more sustainable, earth friendly and have a reduced carbon foot print. This approach may be new to some by offering boards with less weight, more impact durability, and controlled flex. However it is not new to Slingshot and the thousands of surfboards we have made over the years. The idea is to optimize the construction technique. Choosing the right method allows us produce boards that perform like no others on the market.
The process:
We use a complex layering system combined with a use a superior epoxy resin. Old PU boards typically use polyester or standard epoxy resin. They are cheaper, because they are faster to manufacture. Unfortunately they are also super toxic and not very durable. We start with a super light weight foam core, and then put on a layer of light weight glass. We then bond all of this on a more dense layer of wood. The final layer is glass and superior epoxy resin. Along each step of the way we use vacuum bagging techniques to enhance the bonding strength. The final result is a proven light weight sandwich construction custom board that is more durable than the old PU boards. This proprietary construction method is WVS (Wood Veneer Sandwich).
