SPOTLIGHT ON THE 2021 SLINGSHOT RANGE!!!
After having received a lot of messages on this subject, I launch myself in this description.
At the end of this video and/or this article you will know for sure which wakeboard to choose according to your type of ride.
So I'll give you the links of each board so you can complete your research with our legendary store!
First of all, a few words about the brand SLINGSHOT
1- It's the iconic wakeboarding brand known all over the world.
2- It benefits from an easy resale, these boards are the most widespread on the market. For those who are keen on novelty, you can easily change your board every year or two without any problem
3- The boards are sturdy,
4- The after-sales service is reactive, the person is available to answer questions
SLINGSHOT sells spare parts if you ever have treasures in your attic you can always restore them to their original state!
SLINGSHOT is known for its flex compared to other brands.
Sa conception en bois laminé appelée “laminated wood core », du contrecollé mis à la vertical dans la longueur de la planche lui confère ce flex incomparable.
SLINGSHOT is also known for its glide on both home-made and professional modules.
I like to ride with two boards, it allows me to test several types of boards, often an atypical one and a board I know to be confident in my tricks, it allows me to test and wear a little less quickly a single board!
But I must admit that having two boards is a budget!
THE 4 CHARACTERISTICS OF SLINGSHOT BOARDS
The brand is characterized by 4 main components:
1- A CONCAVE, on the tips (nose and tail)
2- A CENTRAL CHANNEL
3- Flex on the tips (spread over the nose and tail, and the center which is more rigid)
4- Flex spread over the whole board.
From there, SLINGSHOT has mixed these elements to create the 2021 range of boards, so if you know your criteria and you really know what you want in your board, you'll find the right board for you!

Flat sole (not very incisive)

Concave on the tips (nose and tail)
It is an all-terrain board that goes everywhere and above all forgives mistakes.
To evolve, this board has a lot of advantages and I think that every rider should go through this board to be able to enter some tricks on the water and avoid taking edges.

SPACE TOMB
Atypical board
One size: 160 cm.

For my part I can't really enjoy this board because having a closet door under my foot is a bit difficult, but it's true that to have fun with several people or to do stupid things, it's a good choice!
