What is EPX?
Good question. According to Slingshot, EPX is a new construction design that "combines our latest laminated sandwich construction with our high end EPS foam core and our new Fluid X Vibration Dampening System. This combination creates a high performance board that is strong and easy to use. The EPX construction also features our new graphic technology that incorporates vivid colors making the board a true piece of art. The EPX construction is an ideal option for riders looking for a durable board with the latest technology to improve their riding."
What is Fluid X?
Again, from Slingshot, "Fluid X was born from the ski and snowboard industry. It made sense to look toward progressive snowsports technology to provide state of the art dampening control to reduce vibration and create a clean and smooth feel throughout all our high performance boards. Fluid X also provides an anti-torsion property that runs from tip to tail and it's visco-elastic stringer improves the dynamic behavior of the core construction that allows more flex, more response and the smoothest feel unlike anything you've experienced on a kite surfboard. With Fluid X, we finally manage to give our boards a Polyester feel with the durability of an epoxy lay up."
Why do either of those things even matter?
Another spot on question! Basically, (most) kiteboarding brands strive to make products that are highly functional, durable, and cost effective. Slingshot is no exception, and to set their innovative construction apart, named it something with just enough of a technical jargon sound to make it sound exciting. So go ahead, boast away about your EPX construction, unchecked. After all, nobody else on the beach knows what the heck you're talking about. All they know is you sound cool, kinda like a rocket scientist. So go ahead, strut your stuff. Jump on your new 2013 Slingshot EPX Dialer with its C-3PO technology, and enjoy.
