The Slingshot P.O.P offers a completely redefined boat experience from Slingshot, offering a stiff, light, and incredibly explosive board that maximises your ability to stay nimble on the water. Built on a 3-Stage rocker, the P.O.P gives you plenty of explosiveness off the wake to give you maximum height from your jumps. A rigid-flex pattern, uni-carbon construction, and a wider platform work in tandem to provide the ultimate lift for your pop while making spins and landings easy and soft. To add traction and control to the P.O.P, Slingshot added a base channel to help drive water to the fins and punch you through to the wake. At the same time, a vertically laminated wood core gives plenty of energy and the addition of softening and dampening features, so your knees stay fresh to ride day after day.
The Slingshot KTV is the signature comfort closed-toe model, built on the basis that the progression of a rider is derived from the comfort in their boots and when riding. Starting from an updated lacing system with TPU ‘Gummy’ Straps, strapping into KTV’s is as simple as cinching your straps to your preferred fit. For support, the KTV runs a traditional J-bar ankle support system, reducing the amount of heel lift you feel in the boot. Direct connect soles provide a mix of comfort underfoot and enhanced response. With your footbed connecting directly to the board, it reduces response time and provides a greater feel.
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

- 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’.

Fit
- KTV Liner – Comfort, comfort, and more comfort. Slingshot’s theory is progression is driven by riders’ comfort, so the KTV liner is derived from, you guessed it.
Liner & Lacing
- Tri-Zone Gummy Straps – Thermoplastic Polyurethane straps allow you to cinch your boots as tight as you want, so you’re always locked into your boot.
- Integrated J-Bars – Bars that wrap around your ankle to lock your foot down in the boot and to keep you safe from torn ligaments and busted knees
Baseplate
- Ultralite K9 Mounting System – A smaller footprint mounting system eliminates heel and toe lift by providing less plate to flex, meaning your boot is overall lighter and stronger.
- Bottomless Base System – The sole of your liner sitting directly on your board shrinks the footprint of the boot, as well as maximising feel, reaction time, and natural response of the board
