2015 Slingshot Glide Kiteboard
2015 Slingshot Glide Kiteboard
The Slingshot Glide takes a unique approach to light wind riding, opting for a long and narrow profile as opposed to the prevailing short and wide shapes that currently dominate the market. This efficient design allows for greater edge control when riding. This in turn translates to greater kite power management, allowing you to change the effective water line. This results in a fun, responsive, practical kiteboard, three words you don't often hear when referring to light wind riding.

What Slingshot has to say about the 2015 Glide
When we developed the Glide for light wind conditions we took a different approach. Most light wind boards on the market are short and wide. This style can get you up and going but they ultimately lack control once you're riding. The Glide's concept focuses on an efficient longer narrower profile. It provides adequate surface area that gets you going in the lightest of winds. The narrower width kicks at speed providing the rider with increased edge control. Since the rider can control the entire edge of the board the effective water line can be precisely increased or decreased; kite power management is done with ease. The Glide is the highest performance twin tip board available in the light wind category. In fleeting wind the Glide is a true session saver. Summer is short. Choose the Glide.
