PostTue Sep 16, 08 6:02 pm    2008 Surf Expo photos - SLINGSHOT Part II Reply with quote

Hey hey everyone! Slingshot is back from Expo and I wanted to show case what our booth was all about and give you a sneak peak of what's in store for 2009.

Each day our booth was pack full of people and the stoke was UP! Everyone was super stoke on our new line up of kite and wake boards that are hand made in the U.S.A. As you can see the new top sheet of the Misfits are tight as hell! The Black and white "Fist to Cuffs" Fuel and the "Uber Clean" REV II were hits and riders from all over are freakin out, big time...! Shocked

The new Lenten Pro bar was on hand and will be a must have for 09 for sure, for any core rider out there.


The whole Slingshot Wake line up was show cased and its bringing a tidal wave to a industry that is a dull as a rock in the Columbia. Twisted Evil

The new Reflex is going to be a sick wakekiteboard for sure and i can't wait to get my hands one the 41. With a dura glide bottom base for durability and a decrease rocker then a usual wakeboard these boards are going to be a hit at the Cable, behind the kite and on the winch; Dylan and Ian are going to straight kill it on these ones for sure!


Its not just work either we throw down too! Everyday at 4:00 sharp we threw down the biggest Red Bull and vodka party at the show. We basically had every industry rep and pro rider in our booth taking a sip on the Slingshot koollade.... HAHAH... We went through 30 bottles in 2 days. Those pictures will be on the Update 2.


Also i have the the link to the The Kiteboarder Magazine, ASNews.net, and Kiteforum.com interview Slingshot Sports on their 2009 product line at the 2008 surf expo in orlando, fl.

Anyway i'M GOnna Throw up some PhotOS.

Sorry, wasn't referring to Slingshot itself. Was referring to the residents of Rev Island. You know who you are.

thanks for declunking/ bulking the bar .

It looks enjoyable like the old dangerous 05 stuff Wink

it will be nice to depower a fuel w/o having to concentrate on it. for pulling the line and not pulling the relase out side of big wAves.

lookin good all round ...

we may have some sticker shock though I hear....lucky oil prices are coming down Wink

That Pro Bar looks exactly like my 04 Fuel bar. Is there anything different such as a safety? Seems like I heard something about "5th line safety with 4 line simplicity" at one point which sounds great.

Thanks for the photos

The Ruben PRO bar is a extra option that does not come stock with the 09 FUEL... EITHER you like it or don't, its that simple... ME LIKE!

THE DIRECT DRIVE 4 LINE BAR WITH CSS will be coming with the 09 FUEL stock. Lines for the bar is 23M where as the PRO bar is 20M with 4 800lb lines.

I will post a photo of the stock 09FUEL bar soon. CHEERS Cool
