6 / 8 / 10 / 12M SKU# 16140 Slingshot is thrilled to introduce a radical new kite to its 2016 lineup – the Wave SST. With a design that will redefine the meaning of a true surf-specific kite, the Wave SST (Slingshot Surf Technology) features a Compact-C canopy and compact direct-connect bridal that looks like a cross between an RPM and a Rally, but performs unlike any kite on the market. Built with significant and unrivaled upgrades to Slingshot’s already bombproof construction, the Wave SST (offered in 6, 8, 10 and 12 meter sizes) is sturdy enough to take a pounding in the surf, but light enough to track magically downwind, downloop on a dime and whip across the window at the flick of a wrist. For kiters serious about taking their wave skills to the next level, the Wave SST is the kite to take them there. The Wave SST is equipped with a modified version of Slingshot’s revolutionary new shock-absorbing IRS bridal (introduced on the 2015 RPM), which provides instant feedback and response, unrivaled stability and is condensed enough that it can’t get wrapped around wingtips if rolled in the surf. With a shape that favors serious downwind drift, unbelievable turning speed even when fully sheetedout and a feather-light feel when shredding down the line, slashing faces and bottom-turning, the Wave SST has set a new standard for what a wave kite can do for its riders. Slingshot coined the term “Surf Tough” nearly 15 years ago with its unique seam technology, and its designers have taken that concept to another level with the Wave SST. The kite is constructed with an extra heavy duty Rip Stop Surf Grid canopy material and has extra panels reinforced in a gridded quilt pattern to provide increased strength in the event of a water landing. These upgrades compliment Slingshot’s already rock-solid construction that makes our kites the most resilient on the market. Although built specifically for surf, the Wave SST is also an outstanding kite for all around shredding riders and the rapidly-growing faction of foil boarders due to its incredible depower, feather-light feel and unrivaled turning characteristics. For customized performance, the kite features three trailing edge attachment points which result in more or less bar pressure and sensitivity depending on which point is chosen. All of Slingshot’s 2016 kites come with our new One Pump Speed System, which increases inflation efficiency to get you out on the water faster and with less energy than before. PACKAGE INCLUDES: Kite, Kite Backpack, Bladder Repair Kit, Quick-Start Guide, IRS Bungee Replacement, Pump Hose with One Pump Speed Valve Adapter.

RALLY 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 14M SKU# 16130 Touted as the most versatile and user-friendly kite in Slingshot’s lineup, the Rally has continued its dramatic rise to the top since introduced to the market in 2011. Available in sizes 5-12 and 14 so kiters can build their perfect quiver, the 2016 Rally incorporates an open Delta-C profile, a direct-connect pulley-less bridal system, beefed-up surf-tough seams, fine-tuning attachment points and a number of other unique feathers to make this the ultimate all-around weapon of choice for kiters across the spectrum. Never before has one kite appealed to so many different styles of riding. Updates to the 2016 Rally include relocated attachment points and a slight change in geometry, which increase handling and steering speed, reduce bar pressure and bring back a feel similar to the popular 2012 version. These updates compliment the Rally’s unrivaled wind range, low-end power, hang time, upwind performance and, bombproof construction that has kept Slingshot at the leading edge of the industry for the last 15 years. All of Slingshot’s 2016 kites come with our new One Pump Speed System*, which increases inflation efficiency to get you out on the water faster and with less energy than before. PACKAGE INCLUDES: Kite, Kite Backpack, Bladder Repair Kit, QuickStart Guide, Pump Hose with One Pump Speed Valve Adapter.

FUEL 7 / 9 / 11 / 13M SKU# 16100 As the foremost expert in explosive C-kite performance, the Fuel has consistently pushed the envelope for both the kite industry and the hard-charging athletes who make it shine. Slingshot has refined the Fuel’s legendary construction and traditional-C design over the years, making this the go-to kite for riders looking for aggressive grunt, unhooked authority, power, boost and insane looping capabilities. In 2016 we’ve continued with the well-received detachable fourpoint Nitrous bridal system introduced last year. This new addition, along three customization settings - Mega Loop, Freestyle and Freeride - gives riders increased flexibility and freedom in how the kite performs. When installed (the bridal comes factory installed but can be easily removed), the Nitrous system delivers explosive pop, massive hangtime and, most notably, increased range and depower. All of Slingshot’s 2016 kites come with our new One Pump Speed System, which increases inflation efficiency to get you out on the water faster and with less energy than before. PACKAGE INCLUDES: Kite, Kite Backpack, Bladder Repair Kit, QuickStart Guide, Pump Hose with One Pump Speed Valve Adapter.

RPM 4.5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 14M SKU# 16120 The legend continues with the 2016 RPM: The renowned all-around weapon of choice for world champion tricksters, soul-searching surfers and casual weekend-warriors alike. Returning as the flagship kite on Slingshot’s legendary lineup, the 2016 RPM is loaded with exciting and innovative features that will again place this kite at the top of the food chain and uphold its reputation as one of the most versatile and rock solid kites ever produced. Last year Slingshot introduced the Intuitive Response System (IRS) Bridle – an industry-first innovation that replaced bridle pulleys with a low-profile bungee setup that improved steering speed, response and general high-end performance. Feedback on the IRS Bridle was immediate and overwhelmingly positive. The 2016 RPM comes equipped with the same system, which gives riders a more fluid connection to the kite and gives the kite improved stability and smoother, more reactive performance. In addition to the industry-leading IRS bridle, the 2016 RPM features upgrades to its already bombproof construction, including a tougher, more durable diamond leech trailing edge and a new DP 175 Dacron leading edge and strut material. These upgrades complement Slingshot’s proprietary tri-tech protection, making this one of the toughest, most durable kites on the market. Also returning to the 2016 RPM is an upgraded One Pump Speed System, which increases inflation efficiency to get you out on the water faster and with less energy than before PACKAGE INCLUDES: Kite, Kite Backpack, Bladder Repair Kit, QuickStart Guide, IRS Bungee Replacement, Pump Hose with One Pump Speed Valve Adapter. 2016 RPM 4.5

Slingshot is upping the ante in 2016 by adding an entirely new bar setup to its arsenal. The Compstick with Sentinel safety is an abovethe-bar system that moves the depower strap from the waist-level position of our below-the-bar setup to the arms-reach location that some riders prefer. With a sliding trim block that moves the depower cleat up and down the center lines, riders can adjust the height of the depower rope depending on their reach and the amount of throw they want in the bar. The Sentinel uses the same updated control bar as the 2016 Guardian, but comes with a completely reworked chicken loop and safety release system and a molded below the bar Spin-to-Win mechanism that allows riders to untwist center-lines with ease.

ANGRY SWALLOW 5’2” SKU# 16217052 5’4” SKU# 16217054 5’6” SKU# 16217056 With a stubby, truncated nose, wide midsection and three-fin swallow tail, the 2016 Angry Swallow’s anarchic design breaks the mold of modern kite surfboards. Based on Slingshot’s T-Rex hybrid model, the Angry Swallow offers riders an unparalleled mix of stability and allcondition wave performance with a snappy, responsive and freestylefriendly feel that only a board of its size and shape can provide. New this year, the 2016 Angry Swallow - offered in 5’2”, 5’4” and 5’6” lengths - has a narrower midsection, redesigned tail and drawn-back stomp pad and insert; these changes allow for tighter, snappier turning and a more aggressive stance for riders, with or without footstraps. Although an excellent all-around board, the Angry Swallow shines in marginal wave conditions, when more traditional boards tend to struggle. With the performance of a larger board in a small package, the T-Rex design is also an excellent choice for travel. Back by popular demand for all of Slingshot’s 2016 surfboards is the three-fin setup incorporating the innovative new FCSII keyless fin system that enables riders to insert and remove fins with ease, and without the need for tools. The Angry Swallow also comes with a set of Slingshot’s quick-adjust surf straps.

SCREAMER 5’2” SKU# 16218052 5’4” SKU# 16218054 5’6” SKU# 16218056 Unorthodox by design and radical by performance, the 2016 Screamer appeals to the new-era of kiters who want both solid wave performance and progressive freestyle capabilities out of the same surfboard. The board’s unique shape is based on Slingshot’s T-Rex design, the most notable feature of which is a wide, snub-nose. Offered in 5’2”, 5’4” and, new to 2016, 5’6” lengths, the Screamer’s stubby shape significantly reduces front-end weight, thus making strapless airs, spins and flip tricks easier than with more traditional shapes. Meanwhile, the board’s parallel rail outline, “pulled-in” thumb tail and single-concave rocker make it a fast, stable and slashy choice for all-around wave riding. New this year, the stomp pad and tail inserts have been moved back over the fins to allow riders a more aggressive stance and attack, whether riding strapless strapped-in. A 5’6” length was also added to the lineup, providing an excellent option for lower wind, smaller swell or larger riders. Back by popular demand for all of Slingshot’s 2016 surfboards is the three-fin setup incorporating the innovative new FCSII keyless fin system that enables riders to insert and remove fins with ease, and without the need for tools. The Screamer also comes with a set of Slingshot’s quickadjust surf straps.

The result is an aggressive yet stable board that appeals to riders of all levels, tackling all types of conditions. New to the 2016 Celeritas, the stomp pad and tail inserts have been moved back over the fins to allow riders a more aggressive stance and attack, whether riding strapless strapped-in. Also new, the 5-11 version is re-tuned for lighter-wind performance with slightly wider dimensions and a flatter rocker.

TYRANT 6’0” SKU# 16219060 Building on the its reputation as the go-to surfboard for riders demanding solid performance in a variety of wind and wave conditions, the 2016 Tyrant is again one of the best all-around surfboards on the market. While maintaining its classic short board shape and a rocker designed for high-performance down-the-line riding, Slingshot’s legendary design team has modified the board’s tail end, changing it from a thumb tail to a rounded squash tail and repositioning the stomp pad and inserts farther back over the fins. The 2016 model is also slightly narrower than last year. These changes allow for an aggressive, lip-slashing style while maintaining the stability and hold that has made the Tyrant an ideal classic short board choice for riders of all levels. Back by popular demand for all of Slingshot’s 2016 surfboards is the three-fin setup, incorporating the innovative new FCSII keyless fin system that enables riders to insert and remove fins with ease, and without the need for tools.

137 / 141 / 145cm SKU# 16260 The 2016 Windsor line has expanded to include a 145 cm option, helping to satisfy the industry’s growing demand for bigger boards. The medium-soft flex pattern of the Windsor is a perfect layup for pro rider James Windsor, who leaves no obstacles untouched as he makes his rounds through the park. The stiffer flex between the feet helps the board maintain its shape and speed on high impact landings, while the softer tips allow riders to press deeper and harder on obstacles. Dual tip and tail channels provide additional grip for edging into air tricks and the subtle 3-stage rocker gives the board a more controlled feel on the water. For the complete cable park experience, the 2016 Windsor Pro Model is unparalleled. New for all 2016 Slingshot wakeboards is a revamped version of our industry-first Fastrack mounting system.

REFLEX 137 / 141 / 145cm SKU# 16250 The reflex is the platform for almost every rail board we build here at Slingshot. It’s everything you need in the park and nothing you don’t. The reflex is the ideal board for rail riders looking for big presses through the park but still like to have a bit of resistance and rebound from the deck to pop out of tricks. Its chined rails offer a small clearance zone between the edges of the board and the uneven surfaces riders sometimes encounter in the rail park or out on a winch mission. Built with durability as the first priority, the Reflex features beefy Singleshot sidewalls and an ES base, which is why it’s the board of choice for the overwhelming majority of our pro rail riders. New for all 2016 Slingshot wakeboards is a revamped version of our industry-first Fastrack mounting system.

WHIP 135 / 139 / 143cm SKU# 16280 The Whip is officially a front runner for both park and boat riding. With design inspiration from cable master Steffen Vollert, high-end performance in the park is a given, but the Whip is also the board of choice for pro riders like Dylan Miller, who picks this stick when it comes time to charge the wake. Inverted Naca Tech channels run throughout the tip and tail and drop into cupped rails on the edges, maximizing finless traction for big landings and hard edging, whether in the park and behind the boat. The Whip’s subtle V-spine helps breakup surface tension and soften landings, while the continuous rocker equates to an effortless cruise and minimal arm tension for long days on the water. New for all 2016 Slingshot wakeboards is a revamped version of our industry-first Fastrack mounting system.

Oli’s board features subtle hourglass shaped Naca Tech channels in the tip and tail and chined rails to create big acceleration into the wake. While these features have massive benefits on edge, they are subtle enough that the board transforms perfectly into a rail park favorite.

NOMAD 150 / 155 / 160cm SKU# 16266 Our customers have spoken and the message is loud and clear: BIGGER truly IS BETTER! Wakeboard lengths have been restricted for years due to construction styles and weight-strength requirements, but Slingshots unique construction process has allowed us to increase the size of a wakeboard to new lengths. The results of this progression have been overwhelmingly positive. From beginners all the way to advanced riders, the Nomad changes the rider experience entirely. Slower planing speeds, increased stability and easier deep-water starts all lead to a more user friendly experience on the water. Whether you’re the captain of the boat and tired of driving or someone who has their heart set on drifting some big grabs and slow spins, the Nomad is an entirely new experience on the water. New for all 2016 Slingshot wakeboards is a revamped version of our industry-first Fastrack mounting system.

GNARWHAL XR

4’6” SKU# 16235460 The Gnarwhal XR is an entirely new breed of wakesurf board from Slingshot, designed for aggressive surf style riders looking to cut deep into the pocket and attack the lip with explosive airs and surf-style maneuvers. Decked out with new FCS II fin technology, customizing your fin configuration with either a twin or quad fin arrangement is quick and easy and doesn’t require a tool. Not to mention the bomber XR construction, upgraded with Carbon Innegra rails to add stiffness to the board for a livelier feel and lighter, stronger build. The Gnarwhal XR’s wide tail and nose give the board more volume at a shorter length, allowing it to fit into the pocket comfortably and catch air with ease. The base of the Gnarwhal XR comes fully equipped with a V-spine and double concave hull, which helps the board transition from rail to rail while the exaggerated concave rail throughout the length of the board gives surfers more grip as they press into face of the wave. The accelerated rocker line on the Gnarwhal XR allows surfers to get farther back from the boat and surf at faster speeds to attack the lip with more energy.

The Butter Bar is equipped with the V-spine double concave hull and exaggerated concave rails which give it added bite to grip the wave and also when riding backwards on skate style tricks. With two sizes and three fin configurations including a single, twin, and thruster setup, your options are endless with the Butter Bar.

CROSSBREED
NEW CONSTRUCTION
11’ SKU# 16292011 Whether paddling the waters of a calm mountain lake or waist-high ocean waves, Slingshot’s 11’ Crossbreed is the ultimate all-around standup paddle board. The shape, width and volume of the Crossbreed (11’x 33”x 230L) add up to a user-friendly profile that’s stable and forgiving enough for beginners just getting into the sport, while sturdy and maneuverable enough for advanced paddlers looking for high-end performance in a wide range of conditions. The extra volume makes paddling with extra kids or dogs a blast, while the board’s V- spine bottom turns easily, cuts through chop and can small wave conditions. Advanced materials and manufacturing science combine to build a strong but lightweight board that delivers an incredible experience. The Crossbreed is constructed with our new two-stage compression molded technology. The first stage of the process starts by precision molding an EPS core. The molding final stage blends rugged fiberglass and epoxy - the same PMU top and bottoms material found in Slingshot wakeboards and kiteboards. The board comes equipped with a full cockpit-length EVA pad for traction, four tie-down plugs to secure items on the board and a vent plug to manually equalize internal pressure due to heat and atmospheric pressure changes.

NEW CONSTRUCTION
11’ SKU# 16292111 Definitely not your average soft top SUP, Slingshot’s 2016 Crossbreed 11’ Hybrid Soft Top sets a new standard for boards of its class. Unlike the flimsy, foam- core construction of most soft tops on the market, The Crossbreed Hybrid Soft Top is built with the same bomber construction as our hardboard and is then finished with a cushy final layer that gives it the friendly and rugged soft-top characteristics. The board is constructed with a molded EPS closed cell core wrapped in a protective skin, fiberglass layers, an ASA top sheet and a High Density EVA Thermomold, giving it the rigidity and performance of a hard board but the durability and user-friendliness of a soft top. Load it in a pickup truck, toss it in a camper or pile it in a van and rally; the Crossbreed Soft Top’s durability makes it the perfect board to hold up to the abuse of family paddling, picnics at the beach and campouts with friends, while its shape, stiffness, bottom profile and rock-solid construction make it a board capable of anything a traditional SUP can handle. The Crossbreed Soft Top comes equipped with a full EVA deck pad, a grab handle for easy carrying, four D rings up front for bungee attachments and a leach attachment for added safety and surfing.

The 2016 Rant is a full-on surf SUP capable of handling waves of all sizes and shapes. Available in 8’6” and 9’ sizes, this board is aggressivelyshaped to provide unmatched stability when paddling into the lineup, speed when driving down the line and ultimate maneuverability when turning edge-to-edge and carving faces of head-high waves. The Rant’s swallowtail design gives the board a snappy feel and helps maintain speed in mushy or small conditions, while a kicked-up nose allows for steep, late drops without pearling and an easier paddle-out through white water. The bottom-shape progresses from flat underfoot to a V-Spine toward the back, resulting in a board that tracks well in calm water and carves with ease in the surf. A five-fin setup gives riders the ability to configure their board in several ways – single fin, twin fin, thruster, quad fin or five fin. Based on Slingshot’s Future Response Technology construction, the Rant is built with a proprietary Wood Veneer Sandwich Construction, which controls durability and flex and creates a light and impact resistant end result.
