This is Dustin and Pat from MACkiteboarding.com here to talk about the brand new Misfit v11 Carbon from Slingshot. Misfit Carbon Characteristics Dustin: It's a stellar board.

Pat: No, pretty flat rocker, but it has enough flex, even with it being a carbon board. It's not a super stiff carbon. Some brand …

Shop Slingshot Kiteboarding Kites. Hello guys. This is Pat and Dustin from MACkite. Today we will review the Slingshot Machine V2 and the Machine V2 Light Wind. We recently had a session with the V2s. They are super stellar, lofty, big boosty kites. They have a perfect low-power end, are grunty, and have decent bar pressure. If you're looking for a lighter bar feel, the V2 might not be the kite for you. But if you like a direct feel and nice power in the bar, then the V2 is perfect …

What's up guys? I’m Pat from MACkiteboarding.com. I’ll review the new Slingshot Hope Craft, a pretty neat little board brand new to the Slingshot lineup this year.

So really, just taking everything that he's looking to get out of a high-performance pocket foil board. Hope Craft Size and Construction The Hope …

In this review, Cam, Ryan and Cole are going to give you a brief overview of each wing that Slingshot produces for wake foiling. Gamma 68 Wing Cole: The first wing in the lineup is the Gamma wing. This is a super fun little wing. It's got a lot of speed on it. The low end isn't great, so you do have to get the boat up to speed in order to get it up and out of the water. However, out of all of the wings, this one's going to be able to go the fastest. If you're looking to do airs, 360s, …

Hey, what's up guys? I'm Rygo. I'm Sensi. And today we're going to do another interview, and we're going to chat with Sensei Graves here. So it's been kind of a big year for you, a lot of change, a lot of things happening. You just got onto Slingshot. Do you mind sharing about that experience? Represent, yes!

The slingshot Crisis is a mid-range / entry level twintip kiteboard from Slingshot. In my experience, the board rides similarly to other boards in this category: it has a medium flex, mild rocker and takes the middle of the road in every aspect. It's aimed at new kiteboarders, but has some performance that experienced riders would appreciate. The board has a wood core and lacks upgrade features like channels or carbon stringers. It doesn't have as much pop as, say, a freestyle kiteboard …

The Formula V1 kiteboard is an exciting addition to Slingshot's lineup. Their kiteboards have long been known to be heavy duty and provide a distinct damp feel on the water. The Formula couldn't be further from the rest of their kiteboards: extremely light and snappy with a race car like feel. The Formula V1 is a completely different animal. A Kiteboard with Speed and Snap The Formula V1 kiteboard is so snappy and poppy you just want to jump as soon as it hits the water. I hate making …
