Slingshot<br />

Slingshot has three different lines. <strong>The</strong> main line<br />

is their SX, which exists in five different sizes.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se are quite short and wide boards but with<br />

lots of curve in the outline which makes them<br />

work well for both freestyle and wake-style.<br />

Misfit Surf is, as the name suggests, a pure<br />

wave board. It’s one of the new generation<br />

mutants that have a symmetrical outline, but<br />

with the option of moving the straps more<br />

towards the rear of the board. Misfit Surf works<br />

in both big and small surf. <strong>The</strong> final board in<br />

Slingshot’s selection is LFT that stands for Little<br />

Fat Twin. Actually it isn’t small at all, but a<br />

perfect light wind board that also works well for<br />

beginners.<br />

Wave<br />

Wave has two different lines of boards. Tribal is<br />

a quite standard freeride board that there isn’t<br />

too much to say about. It works well both for<br />

beginners and more advanced riders and makes<br />

it easy to go upwind. V-flex is a more interesting<br />

board. At the first glance it also looks quite much<br />

like a standard freestyle board, but if you look<br />

closer you notice that the board is split in the<br />

front and the back. This way the board gets lots<br />

of flex in the ends when it is edged hard, like in a<br />

turn or before a traditional jump, but less flex<br />

when it is ridden flat like in landings or when<br />

popped out of the water. This gives a board that,<br />

at least in theory, works equally well for<br />

freestyle, wave riding, and wake-style tricks. <strong>The</strong><br />

board comes in four different sizes.<br />
