Slingshot V1 Burner XR Kite Surfboard
Looking for a board that has a playful fun feel and can optimize any condition? Introducing the all-new Burner. The Burner features a more forward wide point outline, giving it a ton of float and drive in the pocket. Additionally, its wider tail block makes the board loose and playful and its 5-fin box configuration makes it extremely versatile. The Burner is the perfect blade to reach for when the winds turn onshore, or the peak lacks a little punch. It's extremely playful, snappy, and loose making you feel like a hero on the open face. Its double instep tail shape gives it bite and hold when aggressively attacking the lip. The all-new Burner is playful, versatile, and a heck of a lot of fun. Original designs of the 2023 surfboard line were created by Al Emery in close collaboration with World-renowned wave rider, Ben Wilson.
Features:
- NEW WINGED SWALLOW TAIL - The winged swallow tail has a great deal of hold and traction. The upside down V shape in the tail gives the Burner control and fast movements out of turns giving it more drive in between turns to get over softer sections.
- NEW VERSA 5 FIN CONFIGURATION - Provides riders with more versatility. The Burner can be ridden as a Thruster, Quad, or even as a Twin Fin depending on the conditions.
- XR CONSTRUCTION - With premium features such as bamboo in the belly and carbon stringers, our XR Construction produces a more lively, lightweight, high-performance kite surfboard.
- UNI-DIRECTIONAL CARBON STRINGER - Lengthwise carbon stringers on both the top and bottom provide strength and stiffness.
- 3K CARBON RAIL SAVERS - Carbon Fiber rail patches along the tail help prevent cracking, heel dents and damage from hard landings and deep input.
- FCS II REACTOR FINS - No tool required—just click in and click out. They're quick, easy, convenient and secure.

Slingshot Burner XR V1 - At a Glance
This is my favorite board in the Slingshot surf line up for a several reasons. First the Burner shape is similar to my standard fish and hybrids that I surf daily so going back and forth between kiting and surfing feels natural. The Burner's wide point is forward which I like because it gives me drive and speed to get through flat sections to make a critical part of the wave. The tail is pulled in with a winged swallow which helps make tight turns anywhere on the wave. The Burner has a 5-fin box setup which I prefer because I like to change my fin configuration based on the conditions. My favorite setup is a twin+trailer or straight twin. The twin+trailer is my go-to when conditions are good with waves that have plenty of push behind them much like my surf setups. When the conditions are mushy and the waves don't have a lot of juice behind them and I need extra speed, twin fin is my go-to setup on the burner. If you are looking for a daily driver kite surfboard this is the blade you need.
