For 2015 the Slingshot Misfit kiteboard receives yet another upgrade. The quintessential one board solution stays with the same basic outline, rocker, and layup that has proven itself for years. Slingshot chose 2015 as the year to reengineer the board's channels into Venturi channels in order to produce more lift, reduced drag, and a constant edge feel in any condition. Yet another example of the perpetual refinement going on at Slingshot Kites.

What Slingshot has to say about the 2015 Misfit Kiteboard

New for 2015, the Misfit now features precision laser cut NACA Duct channels. That's right, Slingshot put aerospace design into a kiteboard. The Misfit has raised the bar again for performance freeriding. The Misfit's proven versatile shape, combined with Slingshot's legendary construction and durability is the benchmark for rider improvement. Engineered to provide a consistent rider controlled flex and pop, the Misfit will satisfy the needs of any rider.

With the addition of Slingshot's precision laser cut NACA Duct channels, the Misfit takes freeride performance to a whole new level. Like a vacuum, the NACA Duct channels water from the middle of the board to the tip. The directed water accelerates through the channel and increases the board speed and grip to the water. The benefits to the rider are increased edge control and reduced drag through the water. Hand built in our U.S.A. factory, the Misfit features the highest-quality and greenest materials available on the planet

RIDER PROFILE:
ENTRY LEVEL TO ADVANCED: Ideal for riders looking for controlled progressive flex and top level performance in a wide range of conditions.

FEATURES:

ATOMIC CORE: This all-wood, ultra lightweight core provides the liveliest feel ever. There is no better core material for achieving the best flex performance and durability in a board than full wood. Our wood is locally farmed from sustainable forests; that's why we call it Columbian Gold.

NEW NACA DUCT TECHNOLOGY: NACA DUCT channels improve performance and edge control by creating a low-drag submerged inlet that streamlines water flow while increasing board speed.

ELLIPTICAL CONCAVE: Concave bottom shape designed to optimize edge-to-edge responses.

TAPERWALL: A step-down rail delivering optimum edge control, sound handling in choppy water, bomber impact resistance and added stability at speed. From the belly of the board it tapers off in thickness acting as a molded fin when the board is on edge.

PRECISION LASER-CUT CHANNELS: As a result of our laser cutting machine (seriously, A FREAKIN' LASER), all of our boards feature a cleaner, more precise construction. The changes help for cleaner takeoffs, smoother landings, better response and added stability.

FASTRACK: Our proven, proprietary mounting system offers limitless micro adustment stance options and a superior rider to board connection with a clean, fresh look. Includes universal mounting hardware.

SINGLESEHOT FUSION SIDEWALL: We’ve transferred the same technology found in high durometer urethane skateboard wheels into the rail of all our boards. Our innovative manufacturing process literally infuses the rail into the board cores in one single shot, producing unrivaled dampening and durability.

RESIN X: The greenest and most cutting edge organic resin on the market, resulting in reduced weight, incredible durability and premium UV resistance.

4D GRAPHICS: Utilizing cutting-edge graphic technology, every board features unique graphics and dimensional depth highlighting the core. By combining digital with hand crafted art we are able to create boards that have a true sense of depth that is unlike anything else. No two boards look exactly the same.

LEGENDARY SLINGSHOT CONSTRUCTION: Premium materials, innovative design and constant testing to ensure long lasting durability and performance. Hand built by Moonshine MFG in the pacific northwest, USA.
