With a hybrid lacing system of a dual gummy cinch strap and lace bottom, you can still lace in quick and easy over your foot, while making sure, you’re truly locked in with the strap system.

Wakeboard Features
Rocker Line
- 3-Stage Rocker – The rocker to give you the explosive kick off the wake without losing any speed, launching you to the stars and back
Board Flex
- Energy Rating(1=Delayed/Stored Energy, 10=Instant Explosiveness) – 8/10
- Flex Rating(1=Soft, 10=Stiff) – 8/10
- Rigid-Flex – Slingshot’s signature boat flex, stiff the whole way through so you can get all the response and pop. All of it.
Core Construction
- Vertically Laminated Wood Core – A full wood core that is vertically laminated, maximising the run of the grain to create its own personality of flex. This allows for explosive energy under your feet, maximising rebound off features and wake alike for more pop while maintaining softness on landings.
- Uni-Carbon Core – Carbon Stringers through the board to add stiffness and response on water and off the top of the wake
Rails/Edges
- Fusion Sidewall – A single poured urethane sidewall and cured directly into the core, creating an impact-absorbing, rail killer of an edge
Laminates
- Monocoque Construction – An outer glass wrap from the bottom to the top, so the flash line is switched out from the weakest point of the board to the strongest. It is also renowned as the most durable construction in wakeboarding.
- Layered Bi-Axial Glass – Ensure your board doesn’t soften over the years; layered fibreglass will help keep you poppin’.
Shape
- Wider Profile – Greater swing weight means easy movement edge to edge, more effortless spins, and softer landings
Base
- .7mm Ballistic Base – A sintered grind base that will hold up to any rigours you can throw at it. Seriously, we mean any.
- Base Channel – Provides the traction you need on edge to smoothly cut to the wake, kicker or slider and add plenty of pop off any
