Just riding along on my '08 SST, I turned on the face of the wave, but got caught a little behind it, bumping along in the whitewater at the back of the wave, and it buckled underneath me.

I took photos, sent them off to Kyle, asking if it could be warrantied. To my surprise, he shipped me out a brand new '09 the same day! Awesome customer service. Thanks Kyle!!

Trust me you want to befriend the warranty guy. Cool

There's a bumper sticker that puts in perspective.
"No one rides for free... ass grass or cash..." HAHAHA Shocked or just a 6 pack will do just fine...

I have experienced the same type of customer service, huge reason why I ride SS (and I still deal with that god damned release on my rev) Smile

Very much agree. One of the best warranty experiences I've had in or out of kiting has been with Slingshot.

Blah...blah....blah...this Slingshot love fest is sickening....and even the Naish guy is helping row the boat. Very Happy

I ride SS and agree their Cust Service is so good it's ridiculous but are the other "guys" that bad with customer service or is SS just that far ahead??? A lot of good "no questions asked" warranties seem to be available from multiple companies. (????)

Oops...slipping into brand-vs-brand drama. Sorry...let me get back on track..."Slingy...you can have my first born".
