There is a brand new sport that is like surfing, wakeboarding, and flying all at once. If you’ve ever been to Pismo Beach on a windy day, you will see over two dozen kiteboarders in the water or doing tricks high above it. Most of these riders are ordinary people that are simply addicted to this amazing extreme sport called kiteboarding.
Kiteboarding uses the wind to combine the aspects of surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, and windsurfing into one extreme ocean sport. The kite, anywhere from 6-20 square meters, powers the rider through the water. The kite will have either 4 or 5 lines up to 27 meters long that connect to a control bar, which the rider pushes and pulls to control the kite in any direction. The bar hooks into the rider’s harness, which is most often worn around the waist. A board similar to a wakeboard or surfboard enables the rider to fly over the water.

Overview
“The 6’2” Slingshot Squash Tail is the ideal crossover board for surfers who kite.” Chief Designer Tony Logosz.
The SST, designed by John Doyle, is made for the advanced surfer who wants to kitesurf. Because of its unique shape and size the SST provides excellent planeability, glide and drive in the waves.
The optimal way to enjoy this board is to use the kite to “tow” into a wave then completely depower the kite and use your body and board to surf the wave and carry you down the line. The broader shape of the tail area results in precision stability and control. The SST’s performance shines when ridden with or without straps.
The SST is comparable to a paddle board and can be ridden as a true surfboard. The 6’2” size makes it the only board you need to carry on a kiteboarding/surfing trip.
The SST, high performance kitesurfing.
