Slingshot Darkside 2011

Wakestyle

Change, innovation and driving kiteboarding to a new level is what Ruben Lenten is all about. For 2011 Ruben expands his arsenal to include a wakestyle slider and rail specific kiteboard dubbed the Slingshot Darkside.

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.

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.
