Slingshot Code NXT V2 Kite 2026 The Slingshot Code NXT V2 (2026) is a rider-designed New School Big Air kite built to feel clean, confident and predictable when you’re sending it. Developed with Jeremy Burlando and the Slingshot Big Air program, the V2 focuses on the details that matter: faster, cleaner loops, stronger vertical lift, smoother catch, and a connected bar feel that lets you commit without hesitation. If you want a kite that boosts high, loops with purpose and stays composed in serious wind, the Code NXT V2 is designed to make progression feel natural — from controlled sends to technical big-air combos. Why You’ll Love It Instant connection: Clean, predictable feedback so you always know where the kite is. Big vertical lift + hangtime: Optimised for height, float and confident late-move timing. Faster, cleaner loops: Designed to loop smoother and recover consistently. Composed in extreme wind: Built to hold shape under load and stay stable when it’s nuking. Progression-friendly confidence: The kite “gets out of the way” so you can focus on riding. Design Difference Code NXT V2 keeps the DNA of the original, but the frame, airflow and materials have been refined to elevate the feel. The result is a kite that pulls more deliberately, loops more predictably, climbs higher in the window, and catches more smoothly — giving you confidence to push harder. Key Breakthroughs CODE95 trailing edge material: Reduced flutter, cleaner power delivery and faster loop acceleration. Refined arc & panel layout: Optimised airflow and reduced drag for better vertical takeoff and hangtime. 7-point fixed bridle: Increased stability when overpowered, with a direct “pure feel” (no pulleys). Re-engineered leading edge construction: Lighter feel with reinforced durability. New fiberglass batten layout: Added rigidity and more consistent recovery after loops. Intuitive steering line tuning: Balanced bar feel straight out of the bag. Aluula laminate leading edge + struts: Ultra-stiff and lightweight for shape-holding precision under maximum load. Tech Features Trailing Edge CODE95 material to reduce flutter and help accelerate loop speed Shape & Paneling Refined arc and layout to improve airflow, reduce drag, and boost vertical lift Bridle 7-point fixed bridle for stability in strong wind and direct feedback (no pulleys) Leading Edge Re-engineered construction for reduced weight and improved durability Rigidity New fiberglass batten layout for consistent recovery after loops Bar Feel Mid-setting steering tuning for balanced feel straight out of the bag Frame Material Aluula laminate leading edge + struts for stiffness, responsiveness, and shape retention under load The Feel In your hands: After a few minutes it feels “invisible” — it sits where you expect and responds instantly. In a loop: Clean release of tension with a smooth, accelerating loop that stays controlled. Before takeoff: It positions itself where it needs to be so you can focus on timing, not searching for the kite. Ideal Conditions & Size Guide Riding Goal Recommended Size Why Big Air (max height + late tricks) 10m or 12m Strong lift and hangtime for high sends and committed late moves Loops (fast rotation + safer catch) 7m–9m Quicker turning and controlled recovery for confident looping Technical New School Big Air 8m Agile, precise and responsive for technical timing and combos Strong Wind (vertical lift with control) 7m Control-focused size for powered conditions and clean boosts Light Wind (big hangtime + still loopable) 14m Extra pull for lighter days while staying loop-capable Sizes Available 7m, 8m, 9m, 10m, 12m, 14m Package Includes Code NXT V2 Kite Kite Bag Patch / Repair Kit Rider Profile Built for riders who want more than raw performance — riders who want a kite that feels connected and trustworthy at the moment you commit. The Code NXT V2 is aimed at jump-progression riders through to podium-level big-air competitors who want precision, confidence and explosive energy. Q&A Highlights What sets it apart: Predictable feedback and confidence under load — especially in extreme wind. Big improvements vs V1: Cleaner, faster looping and improved vertical takeoff by sitting higher in the window. Loop design goal: Smooth start, accelerating speed through the loop, then a controlled climb overhead for catch and hangtime. Built around Jeremy’s needs: High-load stability, precise timing, instant feedback and consistent recovery. Why Buy From Surface 2 Air Sports?
