SLINGSHOT Says:

The Refraction is a solid all-around board designed to shred every condition on the planet, and take a major beating in the process. With a versatile rocker profile, it can hold its own in chop, swell and rough conditions, as well as flat water freestyle. The rocker and tip/tail shape yield great load and pop, big airs and cushy landings, while the inverted tip and tail profile prevents catching an edge during presses. The Refraction comes with wake fins for a more freestyle/wakestyle feel, but can easily be changed to standard fins for more grip and upwind drive.

Our Testers Say:

“Surprising upwind ability despite significant rocker and small fin size, smooth through the chop and forgiving landings. Comfortable pads.” // Tiberiu Anghel

“Wide board with easy to adjust bindings. Great board that delivers a very comfortable ride across a wide range.” // Marko Bartscherer

“Great for hitting features but not so great for freeriding because it felt like it had a swivel under it and no fins—I couldn’t find an edge.” // Justin Lord
