The Slingshot features a fuller nose with a wide forward outline, round forgiving rails, and a flatter deck. The Slingshot features an extremely low entry rocker, allowing for instant acceleration and making it a wave caching machine. This back half of the board features a smooth moderate rocker, with an exaggerated tail kick out the tail for tight radius turns in the pocket.Although this board was originally designed for small to medium size surf, the smooth outline and full length single concave bottom, has proven to maintain it’s drive and hold an edge into larger surf as well.The Slingshot comes standard with a wide diamond tail. As popularity of this design has grown, we have begun to fill various custom tail requests, some of the more popular tails include the Cole original “Vampire bat” tail, wide round squash tails, thumb tails, and swallow tails. The Slingshot is a shortboard hybrid that is usually ridden approximately 4″ shorter, and 1/4”-1/2” wider than your normal short board, but dimensions can be customized to suit your personal needs.
