Description
Change, innovation and driving kiteboarding
to a new level the Darkside is all about driving the Wakestyle
scene in kiteboarding. Ruben Lenten, Alex Fox, Eric Reinstra,
and Joby Cook work tirelessly with Tony Logosz to design the
ultimate Wakestyle board.
It’s the weapon of choice for Wakestyle
riders and is a park feature killing machine. On the water
it offers massive drive, power and no whip pop. On the rails
it is balanced, flexible, and super durable.Lenten is all
about.
The Slingshot Darkside is made to be ridden
with boots, although the NEW Slingshot BOLT-ONS foot pad /
strap system can be substituted. It carries the traditional
outline of Slingshot wakeboards yet is customized for kiteboarding.
The Slingshot Darkside is the board is driving
the wake scene in kiteboarding. Ruben Lenten, Alex Fox, Eric
Reinstra, Joby Cook and the rest of Slider Crew in Hood River
work tirelessly with Tony Logosz to design this board.
It is the ultimate weapon for wake style riding.
On the water it offers massive drive, power and no whip pop.
On the rails it is balanced, flexible, and super durable.
New for this year is Slingshot's new lighter
Future Response Technology. Exclusive innovations include
Radioactive Pop Core, Single Shot Fusion Sidewall, Resin-X,
Fastrack, Duraglide grindable base and Custom Culture Graphics.
After experiencing the benefits of Slingshot’s
proprietary core technology FRT*, used in the Slingshot wakeboards,
Ruben incorporated this feature into his kiteboard. Also the
Darkside is a super aggressive twin tip and maintains a wide
shape, sharp rail and extreme tip power. Translation, it delivers
unmatched drive and massive pop!
The Slingshot Darkside is a super aggressive
twin tip with a wide shape, sharp rail and loads of tip
power.
What that all means is that it has more drive and has massive
pop!
The synthesis of Slingshot wake and kite engineering
and technology make the Slingshot Darkside the most powerful
force for hitting sliders and performing wakestyle moves with
precision control and aggression.
Columbian Gold Wood
Core:
Made in Slingshot's 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.
Fastrack:
Slingshot’s proven proprietary mounting
system offering endless stance options and a superior rider
to board connection. Another industry first!
The World's Greenest
Kiteboard:
Slingshot like making sustainable “green” products
whenever possible. 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
bonus they are the world’s most sustainable board ever
made. Here’s how Slingshot do it. No PVC foam. Sustainable
wood core. Lowest carbon foot print from forest to factory
Resin X is the lowest VOC resin available in the market. New
science in resin technology also makes Resin X is the greenest
resin made today. The factory 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.
Single Shot Fusion
Rail:
Slingshot now use the same technology found in skateboard
wheels, to the rail of their boards. This industry first for
kiteboards improves the overall dampening of the board and
increases rail durability beyond anything available anywhere.
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 organic
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 and yet offer more
pop, and rebound, without feeling like a ping pong ball.
4D Graphics:
Another industry first, Slingshot's latest innovation in graphic
technology offers unlimited possibilities to the “custom
culture” market, and showcases the inside of their boards
with virtually clear top and bottom sheets. Every single board
on the market has it's own individual look!
