Wood Core Concept.
Taking FRT to the next level. Nature gave us the perfect core material, good wood. There is no better core material for achieving the best flex performance in a board. Our proprietary "Columbia Gold" wood is adaptable, flexible, and extremely stable. Different wood cores have been developed for all the different intended uses and characteristics in all our boards. We scrutinize every type of wood used, even to the point of where the wood comes out of the tree. Our highest standards are set so that we only accept what is called "clear" wood. This means it is void of knots. We then process each core for size, width, considering the power, flex, stiffness, and rebound characteristics for the board it will go into. We have built two different cores for the various styles of boards we offer.
Light wind enthusiasts challenge marginal conditions in the search for the ultimate freeride session. Due to the Glides unique characteristics it offers unmatched range making it the ideal compliment to any riders quiver. This board is for any level rider.
The Glide is the ideal compliment to any quiver. The simplicity of this board means less kites and more time on the water.

Slingshot Board Tech
Radio Active POP:
Made in our own wood shop with 100% Columbian Gold. It has the highest compression response ever used in a kiteboard. It has half the glue weight and absorbs less resin weight. The entire core offers great power, optimum stability, smooth flex and great pop.
Bio Sensor:
Uses a more subtle vertical lamination and machining process to give the core more feel, stability, and forgiveness in all conditions.
F A S T R A C K :
Slingshot's proven proprietary mounting system offering endless stance options and a superior rider to board connection. Another industry first!
THE WORLDS GREENEST BOARD:
At Slingshot we like making sustainable green products whenever pos- sible. And that's the trick. It has to make sense. Green is only cool when you advance the performance of the product because of it. Not the other way around. In this case the boards are super tech and as an added bo- nus they are the world's most sustainable board ever made. Here's how we do it. NO PVC foam.Sustainable wood core. Lowest carbon foot print from forest to factory.
Resin X. Lowest VOC resin available in the market. New science in resin technology , that Resin X is the greenest resin made today. The fac- tory electricity is produced by locally produced wind power. No airborne solvents are used in the manufacturing process. No plastic top sheet material. Slingshot has made a commitment to eliminate plastic top skins made from oil. Hopefully this new age of bio-resins will reduce the need to invade small helpless countries so we can enjoy our sport.
SINGLESHOT FUSION TECH RAIL:
We have moved the same technology found in skateboard wheels, to the rail of our boards. This industry first for kiteboards improves the overall dampening of the board and increases rail durability beyond anything available anywhere. Our innovative manufacturing process literally fuses the rail in
to the board in one single shot. NO staples, tape, glue or seams. The rail literally is one piece of perfection. An another industry first!
RESIN X:
Resin X is the latest in high tech or- ganic urethane resins. What does Resin-X have that epoxy and polyester don't? Exceptional flex memory that can withstand longer flex cycles. Superior vibration dampening, increased elongation without failure. All these features combined store a higher rate of loaded energy, insane durability, and best UV resistance on the market. What does all this really mean to you? The boards are half a pound lighter in weight, offer more pop, and rebound, without feeling like a ping pong ball.
4D GRAPHICS:
Another industry first, our latest innovation in graphic technology offers unlimited pos- sibilities to the cutom culture market, and showcases the inside of our boards with virtually clear top and bot- tom sheets.
