2020 NATIVE

Built for versatility and a friendly feel in all conditions, the Native is a new crossover board built around our fan-favorite Recoil model of years past. 

MORE ABOUT THE NATIVE BOARD: Inspired by one of Slingshot’s flagship models, the Native is an ALL NEW crossover board designed to dominate both the boat and the park. The subtle flex tips and an exaggerated elliptical concave deliver fun and floaty transitions from edge to edge. In the park it embraces round surfaces and helps riders lock in for longer presses, while offering more control and “feel”. If you were ever a fan of the Recoil model from past years, it’s time to bust out your checkbook and jump aboard the latest rendition!

Design by Alex Graydon x Slingshot Wake.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE THE NATIVE BOARD: You will love the Native if you are looking for a faster and more futuristic version of Slingshot’s famous Recoil model.

SUBTLE FLEX TIPS

With softer lines and transitions than Slingshot’s standard Slingshot flex tip, this smooth taper to thinner tips disperses the flex more throughout the entire board; 60 % flex in the tips, 40 %  flex through the belly.

• SINGLESHOT FUSION SIDEWALL - We’ve transferred the same technology found in high durometer urethane skateboard wheels into the rail of all our boards. Our innovative manufacturing process literally infuses the rail into the board cores in one single shot, producing unrivaled dampening and durability.
• ELLIPTICAL CONCAVE - Imagine this like a reverse rocker running from edge to edge at the tip and tail of the board, allowing the tip and tail to wrap around round park features and “hold” for longer. Yep, your nose and tail presses on the pipe rail just got a whole lot sweeter, and when riding on the water makes for a fun and floaty transition from heel to toe.

• CONTINUOUS ROCKER PROFILE - Faster board speed on the water, ride for longer with less arm fatigue, exciting, fast and fun feel.

• MEDIUM FLEX PATTERN - The happy-medium flex that delivers plenty of pop behind the boat and a forgiving and buttery feel in the park.

• BELLY CHANNELS - Gives an additional grip, stability and traction on the water. A tighter, more locked in feel.
• BALLISTIC BASE - With .7mm’s of bulletproof protection between your board and the surfaces you’re sliding across, our park base has been hammered on by the most abusive park riders for years - Earning the ultimate seal of approval and certified “Ballistic”.
• CARBON BEDROCK INSERTS - Light, flexible and super strong, our inserts are reinforced with carbon fiber before being inlaid into the board. Reduces overall board weight, increases pull strength and allows for a more consistent flex under foot.
