The Slingshot Sci-Fly XR V2 pairs a short no-nose outline with lightweight XR construction for a skate-inspired feel and minimal swing weight. Its triple-channeled hull, winged diamond tail and FCS II Reactor quad-fin setup create powerful drive, dependable grip and a clean release for strapless aerials. Bamboo reinforcement, carbon stringers and carbon rail protection keep the board lively while strengthening critical areas. Strapless Freestyle Lightweight XR Construction Triple-Channel Hull Winged Diamond Tail FCS II Quad Fins Included Why You’ll Love It Light and Skatey The compact no-nose shape and lightweight construction reduce swing weight, helping the board stay close to your feet during aerials and rotations. Explosive Strapless Pop A straight outline, elevated rocker and stiffened triple-channel hull help the board load progressively and release powerfully from the water. More Drive and Grip The FCS II Reactor quad-fin configuration provides strong acceleration and rail hold while helping prevent spinout during aggressive turns. Pure Surfboard Response XR construction combines lightweight materials with strategic bamboo and carbon reinforcement for a lively, direct feel underfoot. Ride and Performance Compact no-nose shape: reduces rotational weight and makes the board easier to control during strapless aerials. Straight progressive outline: provides a solid platform for loading the rail and generating freestyle pop. Higher rocker: supports clean takeoffs and helps soften hard or imperfect landings. Triple-channel hull: increases directional grip, bottom stiffness and water-flow control through the tail. Quad-fin drive: supplies speed and hold while resisting spinout through powerful turns. Small-wave performance: the quick, skatey shape remains playful in onshore conditions and less powerful surf. Construction and Technology XR Construction Slingshot’s performance surf construction combines a lightweight EPS foundation with bamboo reinforcement and carbon stringers for a lively but strengthened ride. Triple-Channeled Hull Three defined bottom channels add stiffness for stronger pop while directing water through the tail for increased grip and tracking. Quad-Fin Configuration The four-fin arrangement increases drive and hold compared with the previous thruster setup while limiting unwanted tail release during hard turns. Winged Diamond Tail The angular tail outline supplies control during powered turns and creates a clean water release when taking off for aerial maneuvers. Unidirectional Carbon Stringers Carbon stringers run lengthwise along the deck and bottom, strengthening the board and concentrating stiffness where it supports performance. 3K Carbon Rail Savers Carbon reinforcement around the tail rails helps protect against dents and localized damage from repeated hard landings. FCS II Reactor Fins The included performance quad fins click into the FCS II boxes without tools for convenient installation and removal. Aerial-Focused Rocker The elevated rocker helps the board release cleanly, supports progressive tricks and provides added forgiveness on hard touchdowns.
