2023 Slingshot IMPACT XR V1 Kite Surfboard

Designed to the exact specifications and requirements of Industry legend and Kitesurf pioneer Ben Wilson, The all-new Impact XR is his choice for true wave performance.

The all-new Impact kite surfboard is a full-power, pedal-to-the-metal board, built to shred a clean wall of swell to pieces. Thanks to its narrower pulled-in outline and knife squash tail, the Impact is right at home when the waves get big and powerful. Thanks to the Impact's fast planing hull the board rockets upwind on rail getting you back to the top of the peak faster. Then take one step back with your back foot and the board is ready to dissect. The Impact has tons of hold and drive off the bottom, which helps set up and allows for radical hard craving turns off the top. If you're looking for a high-confidence board for charging when the waves get juicy, look no further than the Impact!

3K CARBON RAIL SAVERS

Carbon Fiber rail patches along the tail help prevent cracking, heel dents and damage from hard landings and deep input. 

THRUSTER FIN CONFIGURATION

This three-fin setup is stable, maneuverable and versatile. It holds solidly in powered up action and on steep, critical sections of waves. 

XR CONSTRUCTION

Premium features such as bamboo in the belly and carbon stringers, our XR Construction produces a more lively, lightweight, high-performance kite surfboard. 

NEW SQUASH TAIL

The two slightly rounded edges act as a pair of release points for the water flowing off the back of the Impact that allows for the quickest and sharpest turns in true surf conditions. 

FCS II REACTOR FIN

No tool required—just click in and click out. They're quick, easy, convenient and secure. 

CARBON STRINGER

Lengthwise carbon stringers on both the top and bottom provide strength and stiffness.
