SLINGSHOT SUPERNATURAL 146 KITEBOARD (WITH NAISH APEX STRAPS)

Description: SLINGSHOT SUPERNATURAL 146 KITEBOARD (with Naish Apex straps) Bought this board when I was looking for a medium sized board to replace my Ocean Rodeo Mako 150. Very nice, smooth board but after trying it, I decided I needed a board more oriented towards light winds. This is a perfect board for intermediate and advanced riders who want to take advantage of the mutant shape. The Naish Apex straps are very adjustable and comfortable. Only used for two sessions and is in excellent condition.

With a new and exciting shape, the SUPER NATURAL is a modern take on the vintage mutant board. Designed with a nose and a tail, the SUPER NATURAL offers unmatched drive and control when loading up for a huge boost or tearing the face off of some shore break. Features The SUPER NATURAL is a mutant twin-tip hybrid that’s at home everywhere. With its nose and tail design, the SUPER NATURAL is able to excel in choppy conditions when you want a little added grip, in flat water when you are looking for extra hold down for huge airs, or in the waves when you want have a little slashing fun. Additionally, with its Versa Fin six-fin configuration, you can ride the SUPER NATURAL with two, four, six or zero fins, depending on the conditions and your riding style for that session. Developed on our Atomic Wood Core, this new breed of board provides unmatched lively pop and rebound, incredible upwind capabilities and tracking both directions. Highlights One of the most progressive and versatile shapes we have ever made. Boosting and board-off tricks are more fun and easier than ever. Makes riding a twin tip in beach break and wave conditions like riding an ocean skate park. Naish Apex Straps Designed for superior comfort and performance, the Apex is the market’s leading ergonomic binding for all styles of twin tip riding in a low profile color scheme. Featuring our exclusive X-Factor Ergo Strap, every rider can have precision positioning and adjustability while still retaining remarkable comfort. The four-way adjustable foot strap can also be conformed to both large and small feet, keeping kiters locked-in and confident when riding. One of the most comfortable and lightweight bindings on the market, the Apex gives riders a direct pad-to-board contact and seamless feel. KiteMag Review The mutant has been a board design that has phased in and out of favor several times over the course of kiting history. For those uninitiated it usually takes the form of a slightly longer than usual twintip board with a directional bias, so it has a longer nose like a surfboard. With the Super Natural, Slingshot have rebooted it once again with ultra-modern construction techniques and shaping. First of all, let’s talk fin configurations. It can take up to six fins and Slingshot claim you can even ride it finless, so there is definitely some scope for experimentation. We tested with the full six plus the obligatory handle for board offs. Construction-wise, the paulownia wood core based retro reboot is dressed as an all-American hot rod, with some appropriately placed flames at the rear. Slingshot have ported over a modified version of their parabolic Naca channels from their twintip range. The wide lighter channel in the nose condenses the flow into two more pronounced channels in the rear between those four rear bite fins. In practice it gives a decent speed boost and grip that increases as your speed picks up. The faster you go the more stable and loaded the board becomes. This obviously makes it ideal for committed powered boosting, which is the aim of the game. Traditionally, mutants have usually been a bit on the lumpy side weight-wise, but the Super Natural doesn’t conform to this stereotype, and has a respectably low swing weight considering the extra fins and nose present. We found landing with downwind speed from a kiteloop, the Super Natural does an admirable job, as the extra nose and fairly generous rocker ploughed through chop so well. The Super Natural makes a solid argument for a modern mutant for freeriding, board offs, Big Air and even hacking away at smaller waves. The amount you can load through four fins at the rear of a twintip on your biased tack is impressive. For anyone that hasn’t tried a mutant before, the Super Natural is an excellent place to start, and for those of us that have been around the block a few times, it is going to provide big grins. If ZZ-Top produced kiteboards, this would be it.
