Key Features

The vertical alignment of wood sheets and carbon fibers configures a flexible but durable merge. The 0.7 Ballistic base absorbs all the rough landings, moves, and impacts during intense tournament seasons. Slingshot makes quality explorations with its materials’ possibilities.

  • Design

The distinctive feature of “Solo” is configured by the channels across the middle-section or board’s “belly.” The three-stage rocker profile allows synergy between “pop” and “smooth” effect over wakes. The simple but imaginative artwork by Alina Scherbakova completes the daring spirit of “Solo.”

  • Bindings

This board requires strong and high-end bindings created for extreme wake boarders. With M6 inserts configuration, “KTV,” “Option,” and “RAD” expand the possibilities of “Solo.”

Slingshot Solo Wakeboard 2019

This previous version of “Solo” also offers the harmonious combination of vertical alignment of wood sheets and carbon fibers. The 0.75’’ x 6’’ wake fins indicate an important difference with “Solo” 2020. The special fins allow a better response over wakes. Laser-cut channels through the board’s belly improve the overall control and displacement during transitions.“Solo” 2019 was created for practitioners with an intermediate or advanced skill level but maintained its versatile structure. Colored stripes merged with wood textures give this product an elegant but sporty identity.

Final thoughts / Conclusion

Sometimes the new ideas and explorations propose divergent paths. “Solo” 2019 were produced for better “traction” and stability over wakes. Also, the general structure of the “Solo” previous model was a great achievement. However, the overall performance achieved with “Solo” 2020 marked a vast difference from its previous version. Belly channels and the new bolt-on fins with edge enhancement push beyond the base structure of all the high-end Slingshot boards. For this reason, we choose a daring but remarkable model which offers unique possibilities for wakeboarding.
