ABOUT<br />
THE RIDE.<br />
Whether it’s industry changing technology like OnePump or deciding to build our<br />
own wood cores here in the USA, we’ve been doing things differently from day one.<br />
That was more than 13 years ago. Since then we’ve introduced quality innovations<br />
that have changed the way people ride. From progressive flex in all our boards to<br />
Splitstrut design in our kites or Fluid X technology in surf, we’re always striving<br />
to create something better. We’re lucky to have a super talented group of riders,<br />
engineers, artists and craftsmen who enjoy every minute of designing, testing and<br />
tweaking to build the most advanced kite gear in the industry.<br />
As much as we love what we design and build, we always remember that it’s about<br />
the experience and the fun of the ride that matters most. It’s about our connection<br />
with the water and the gear that get’s us out there. It’s the time at the beach and<br />
the friends we’ve made along the way that make all this hard work worth it.<br />
CHECK OUT<br />
WOODGRAIN.<br />
So get out there and do your thing. Go ride. And above all else, have fun doing it.
KITE TECH<br />
+ C DESIGN PLATFORM<br />
Embracing C kite DNA throughout our entire range of performance kites is an industry<br />
first by <strong>Slingshot</strong>. All aspects of design, including the kite’s platform, canopy curve<br />
and foil shape benefit from the performance characteristics of C kites. For the past 12<br />
years <strong>Slingshot</strong> has remained committed to the C kite platform for one simple reason<br />
- it out performs all others time after time. While everyone talks about C kites, we<br />
invested to refine them.<br />
+ SPLITSTRUT<br />
Patented by <strong>Slingshot</strong>, Splitstrut intergrates the strut and canopy into one ridgid wing<br />
creating a lighter, stable and more durable kite. This construction is proven to enhance<br />
power delivery under heavy load and creates efficiency in the overall frame.<br />
+ ONE PUMP<br />
The trusted original single point inflation system to get you out on the water faster and<br />
easier. Patented by <strong>Slingshot</strong>, this is the most convenient and proven industry standard<br />
single point inflation system.<br />
+ CUSTOM FUEL INJECTION AND<br />
PROGRESSIVE POWER STEERING<br />
We believe in truly customized kite performance depending on riding style and conditions.<br />
Our advanced kites have multiple custom attachment points that enable the rider to tune bar<br />
pressure based on personal riding preference. This year we have refined them even more to<br />
create a smoother curve between settings.<br />
+ CONNECT FORWARD<br />
The Rally and Turbine feature a single point steering line that is connected directly to the<br />
“sweet spot” geometry of the kite. Optimal for plug and play convenience and performance.<br />

DESIGN PLATFORMS<br />
TRADITIONAL-C<br />
The original shape that started it all. The foundation<br />
of our entire kite line, the Traditional-C provides<br />
consistent grunt and stability through the power<br />
stroke. This shape is also designed to boost, loop<br />
and predictably recover.<br />
OPEN-C<br />
First design to combine core C kite performance like<br />
power, stability, edging, control and direct connect<br />
with the advantages of the latest advancements in<br />
4-line technology including consistent low end power,<br />
maximized range, upwind ability, de-power, relaunch,<br />
hang time and safety.<br />
+ DIMENSION-POLYANT DACRON<br />
LEADING EDGE AND STRUT MATERIAL<br />
DP 175 is the undisputed leader in Dacron quality. Proven by our top pro’s in the most<br />
demanding conditions year after year.<br />
+ TRI TECH PROTECTION<br />
We use only the highest quality and most tested material to protect our products -<br />
Ballistic Kevlar, Mark Cloth and Neoprene. These individual scuff guards, strategically<br />
placed in the most vulnerable areas of the kite, optimize durability and extend the life<br />
of your kite.<br />
(-X)<br />
OPEN DELTA-C<br />
Blends the proven C kite performance characteristics<br />
like power, stability, edging, control and direct feel<br />
with the additional advancements of an innovative<br />
Delta shape to deliver faster turns, improved<br />
aerodynamics, increased rigidity with more stability.<br />
+ SLINGSHOT LEGENDARY CONSTRUCTION<br />
You can depend on long lasting durability and performance because we use only the latest<br />
new high tech materials in our LE, canopy, bladders and finish trim materials. Ask anyone in<br />
the industry and they will tell you <strong>Slingshot</strong> builds kites stronger than any other brand.<br />

KITEBOARD TECH<br />
+ HAND BUILT IN THE USA<br />
We build our kiteboards right here, in the beautiful Cascades of the Pacific Northwest.<br />
Our factory isn’t thousands of miles away on the other side of the world. We don’t have<br />
to wait weeks to see samples. We can tweak graphics one day and see the board on<br />
the water a couple days later. Our athletes are able to get us feedback that can be<br />
incorporated into their board the next day. Seriously. Having a state of the art<br />
factory in our back yard allows us to have daily, hands on influence in every aspect of<br />
production. We’re able to better protect our intellectual property to make sure our<br />
boards stay unique and that riders are getting a choice when they walk in their local<br />
shop.<br />
Building products here enable us to use local, sustainable wood, which makes our<br />
impact and our rider’s impact on the environment much, much less. Our warehouse is<br />
connected to our factory, saving us tons of carbon emissions through transportation<br />
savings alone. The clean electricity we use is created by local wind and hydro power.<br />
We don’t use foam. We don’t use airborne solvents. You get the picture. All of this only<br />
makes sense if the product we are creating is as progressive as our commitment to<br />
responsible manufacturing.<br />
From product designers to graphic artists to production engineers, we have a dedicated,<br />
passionate group of people who put in countless hours of riding, designing, testing<br />
and tweaking to build the most progressive kiteboards in the industry. We’re devoted to<br />
making the highest quality products that you can respect for all the right reasons.<br />
COLUMBIA GOLD<br />
+ FUTURE RESPONSE TECHNOLOGY<br />
Future Response Technology is the philosophy and approach we bring to all of our<br />
products. We use the most innovative materials and construction methods available<br />
to design the proper shapes, flex characteristics, rebound rates, and torsional stability<br />
for specific riding conditions and ability levels. By listening to our riders, we can keep<br />
building products that perform above and beyond all expectations.<br />
+ PURE WOOD CORES<br />
There is no better core material for achieving the best flex performance in a board<br />
than full wood. Our wood is local and farmed from sustainable forests, that’s why we<br />
call it Columbian Gold. This core has the highest compression response ever used in<br />
a kiteboard. We’ve completely eliminated the use of foams and plastics because they<br />
breakdown quickly, and lack the more lively performance characteristics of the organic<br />
materials we use now.<br />
+ SINGLESHOT FUSHION SIDEWALLS<br />
We’ve transferred the same technology found in high durometer, urethane skateboard<br />
wheels into the rail of all our boards. Creating one continuous piece of perfection, our<br />
innovative manufacturing process literally infuses the rail into the board cores in one single<br />
shot (NO staples, tape, glue or seams). Singleshot improves the overall dampening of the<br />
board and increases rail durability beyond any other available material.<br />
+ RESIN X<br />
This is the latest in high tech organic urethane resins. What Resin-X has that epoxy and<br />
polyester resins don’t is an exceptional flex memory that can withstand longer flex cycles<br />
and superior vibration dampening with increased elongation without failure. All combined,<br />
these features store a higher rate of loaded energy, insane durability, and the best UV<br />
resistance on the market. Resin X is a low-VOC (Volatile Organic Chemicals) resin and the<br />
greenest on the market.<br />
+ FASTRACK<br />
For 2013, we’ve completely redesigned our proprietary mounting system and hardware to<br />
deliver increased stance options and simplify the boot installation. With a fresh and clean<br />
look, the Fastrack offers limitless micro stance adjustability and proven superior rider<br />
to board connection. Combined with our NEW Bottomless Base Plate System, Fastrack<br />
controls board flex by eliminating dead spots, adds superior durability, and offers maximum<br />
ease of use.<br />
+ 4D GRAPHICS<br />
Another industry first, our graphic technology offers unlimited possibilities to the “custom<br />
culture” market, and showcases the inside of our boards with virtually clear tops and<br />
bottoms. No two boards are exactly the same. By combining digital with hand crafted art<br />
we are able to create boards that have a true sense of depth that is unlike anything else.<br />
It doesn’t hurt that we work with talented artists with deep roots in skate, surf and snow<br />
from all over the country.<br />
+ MADE IN USA<br />
Maybe you haven’t heard. Our boards are hand made right here in the Pacific Northwest.<br />
Our backyard. From the original idea to the board you ride everyday, the complete process<br />
happens right here. No other board manufacturer can say that. No one.<br />
+ WORLD’S GREENEST KITEBOARDS<br />
We honestly try our best to make products that are easy on our environment, but it has to<br />
make sense. That’s the cool part. Our latest boards are extremely environmentally friendly<br />
and have substantially enhanced performance because of it. No one has perfected it,<br />
but we think we’re getting closer everyday. We use wood from local, sustainable forests.<br />
Because our boards are made in the USA, we have an incredibly low carbon foot print from<br />
forest to factory. Resin X is the newest science in resin technology and the greenest<br />
available. We do not use Polyurethane or PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) foams. No airborne<br />
solvents are used in the manufacturing process. No plastic top sheet material. We’ve made<br />
a commitment to eliminate plastic top skins made from oil. The clean electricity we use in<br />
our factory is created by local wind and hydro power.<br />

SURFBOARD TECH<br />
+ FLUID X - VIBRATION DAMPENING SYSTEM<br />
Fluid X was born from the ski and snowboard industry. It made sense to look toward<br />
progressive snowsports technology to provide state of the art dampening control to<br />
reduce vibration and create a clean and smooth feel throughout all our high performance<br />
boards. Fluid X also provides an anti-torsion property that runs from tip to tail and it’s<br />
visco-elastic stringer improves the dynamic behavior of the core construction that allows<br />
more flex, more response and the smoothest feel unlike anything you’ve experienced on<br />
a kite surfboard. With Fluid X, we finally managed to give our boards a polyester feel with<br />
the durability of an epoxy lay up.<br />
+ WVX (BAMBOO VENEER + FLUID X)<br />
WVX construction is built with layers of bamboo wood, resin and weaved lightweight<br />
fiberglass combined with a strong EPS core. During each layering step vacuum bagging<br />
techniques are used to enhance the bonding strength. Proprietary to <strong>Slingshot</strong>, this<br />
construction controls the durability and flex of the board. The result is a proven lightweight,<br />
impact resistant board. A final layer of glass provides the highest fit and finish of any kite<br />
surfboard on the market. WVX construction features our Fluid X Vibration Dampening System<br />
for an unrivaled smooth ride.<br />
+ EPX (EPS + FLUID X)<br />
EPX is <strong>Slingshot</strong>’s new construction design that combines our latest laminated<br />
sandwich construction with our high end EPS foam core and our new Fluid X Vibration<br />
Dampening System. This combination creates a high performance board that is strong<br />
and easy to use. The EPX construction also features our new graphic technology that<br />
incorporates vivid colors making the board a true piece of art. The EPX construction<br />
is an ideal option for riders looking for a durable board with the latest technology to<br />
improve their riding.<br />
+ EPS<br />
<strong>Slingshot</strong>’s composite sandwich construction incorporates a unique layering technique<br />
of fiberglass and epoxy resin to build our entry level board stronger. Combine that with<br />
an EPS foam core and reinforced deck, this construction is impact resistant, incredibly<br />
durable and a better value sandwich laminated board with a classic look and feel.<br />

The fresh, versatile “Spherical-C” design of the Z kite gives consistent<br />
pull with controlled power and unmatched versatility. Stable and<br />
predictable in virtually all conditions. Originally designed for new<br />
kiters, The Z has quickly gained a reputation for huge boosts with<br />
good control and effortless relaunch.<br />
The Z kite is loaded with the latest innovative features. However,<br />
it’s most important feature is the “plug and play” usability you will<br />
appreciate everyday. This includes features like our industry first<br />
pully-less bridle that delivers a direct feel, enhanced responsiveness,<br />
and unmatched upwind performance. Additional unique features<br />
like our Spherical-C Profile and Axis Wing Tip allow the kite to<br />
easily roll up off the water into relaunch. Much like our other kites,<br />
the Z has been optimized for maximum range to suit all kinds of<br />
riding conditions.<br />

The Turbine has proven that if you want to stay on the water and<br />
still have fun in 5-6 knots, your kite has to be light. We’ve had hard<br />
core freestyle riders like Eric Rienstra hitting kickers with next<br />
to no wind, riders in coastal swell shredding from dawn to dusk<br />
and local freeride guys who have the Gorge all to themselves long<br />
after everyone else has gone home - all on the Turbine.<br />
Our progressive “Open Delta C” design geometry, makes it more<br />
efficient and faster in light wind much like a high performance<br />
glider or wind turbine wing, improving lift through kite speed and<br />
allowing the Turbine to fly farther forward in the window.<br />
The Free-Twist Tip Technology increases the narrow wind range of<br />
a large kite by positioning the bridal attachment points to let the<br />
wingtips freely pivot. This allows the trailing edge leech panel to<br />
open and twist when overpowered and prevent stall in light wind.<br />
The result is a lighter, faster feel with a wide apparent wind range<br />
and quick turning radius for such a large kite.<br />
The Turbine has plenty of low end grunt to get you planing with a<br />
competition race board, surfboard, or large twin tip. Once up to<br />
speed, the kite stays efficient and in control as the apparent wind<br />
ramps higher. The Turbine keeps you riding and gets you off the<br />
beach when there’s not a whitecap in sight.<br />
Riders who want to extend their time on the<br />
water, and demand light wind performance.<br />
