2023 Slingshot Space Melter Wakeboard
Our mission to continually push the envelope of wakeboard design in partnership with the Space Mob has led us to Space Melter, a shape we believe will become a staple of the park line-up for years to come. If you haven't got on one yet, put the Melter on the top of your list this summer and re-invent your riding style completely!
WHY WE MADE IT
As part of our continued mission to leave no board shape unexplored, the Space Melter is an 11/10 when it comes to rider stoke levels. We built it to make wakeboarding feel like snowboarding, but warmer... and wetter.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
- Quinn Silvernale from the Space Mob tells us that "in the future all park boards will be shaped like this".
- The feedback from everyone who rides it has been overwhelmingly positive—almost the same as when we introduced flex to wakeboarding.
- It's a BIG deal—all 165 cm of it.
ATOMIC WOOD CORE
Vertically laminated wood core construction is what gives Slingshot boards their signature flex performance. It's lightweight and durable, delivering superior pop, rebound, and that overall magical feeling in the park.
SINGLE-SHOT FUSION SIDEWALLS
Our innovative manufacturing process produces unrivaled dampening and durability by infusing the rail into the core of the board with a single shot, eliminating the need for fasteners or staples.
CARBON BEDROCK INSERTS
Light, flexible, and super strong, our Carbon Bedrock Inserts reduce overall board weight, increase pull strength and allow for a more consistent flex underfoot.
BALLISTIC BASE
With .7mm's of bulletproof protection between your board and the surfaces you're sliding across, this base layer is ready for battle. Put to the test daily by some of the most daring park riders in the game.
CONTINUOUS ROCKER PROFILE
This continuous curve equates to faster board speed on the water, allowing you to ride for longer periods of time with less arm fatigue and delivering an exciting, fast, and fun feel.
CHINED RAILS
The toe and heel edges of the board are raised up approximately 4-5 mm, creating a small buffer zone between the edges of your board and uneven rail surfaces to help protect your edges.
WIDE TIP/TAIL PROFILE
The wide profile makes it easier to stay locked onto rails all the way to the finish, and also provides more surface area to keep you on top of the water with less speed/effort.
EXTREME STANCE INSERTS
For those who choose to get even more radical, the vast spread of inserts allows for centered, directional, and downright RIDICULOUS stance options for riders who know no bounds.
2023 Slingshot Rad Wakeboard Bindings
The RAD boot is our highest performance fixed-liner wakeboard boot. With a combination of a lower-lace system and dual-zone Gummy Strap Closure System, the RADs offer customized support everywhere a rider needs it most. Whether you prefer to spend your time behind the boat or in the park, these boots have a decade of experience and design evolution, maximizing rider confidence and extending ride times for wakeboarders all around the world.
WHY WE MADE IT
We built the RAD Boots to deliver maximum support and performance in a lightweight streamlined boot design for advanced boat and cable wakeboarders.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
- The RAD boot is our original closed-toe boot with over a decade of refinement.
- It's the perfect blend of performance, comfort and style. Our "old faithful" for all styles of riders.
K9 MOUNTING SYSTEM
A Slingshot exclusive, the K9 Mounting System solidifies your boot-to-board connection while minimizing the boots' overall footprint on the board and allowing for more stance widths and angles than any other boots on the market.
BOTTOMLESS BASE SYSTEM
Our Bottomless Base System maximizes riders feel and connectivity with their board and the water. Boot liner soles are in direct contact with the boards' surface, allowing for a more immediate transfer of energy.
GUMMY STRAP CLOSURE SYSTEM
Our Gummy Strap Closure System has changed the game for wakeboarders around the world when it comes to dialing in the perfect amount of pressure throughout the boot.
BUILT-IN J BARS
In the heels of the liners, built-in J Bars cup the back of the riders ankle to eliminate all play in the heel of the boot, elevating both the support and performance.
3D-MOLDED TONGUE
3D-molded tongues make our boots fit like a glove every time you slide in. Forget about the classic wiggle and dance to find the perfect place for your foot—with 3D molded tongues the fit is perfect time after time.
LOWER LACE + HHD SYSTEM
The lower laces of the RAD boot tie into the integrated HHD (Heel Hold Down) System to cinch the boots tight over the rider's toes while at the same time tightening the harness that wraps around the boot liner's heels.
