WIDOW MAKER DETAILS<br />
Like all of Slingshot’s twin tips, the Widowmaker is hand-built in the <strong>USA</strong>. New for <strong>2017</strong>, Slingshot is<br />
employing a carbon-reinforced Bedrock Insert mounting system, which reduces board weight while<br />
improving hold strength and overall flex characteristics.<br />

BEDROCK CARBON INSERTS<br />
In <strong>2017</strong> you will notice lighter boards, a more continuous flex pattern and performance that is tuned precisely for<br />
each board’s design concept. You asked for weight reduction, better flex control and increased feel. You got it. Our<br />
engineers accomplished this by inventing new carbon-reinforced inserts, which will replace the Fastrack system<br />
on all <strong>2017</strong> boards. In testing, our team riders quickly noticed how solid the inserts are, hence the name Bedrock<br />
Carbon Inserts.<br />
The new inserts are a Slingshot exclusive and are designed to offer you a solid connection to a board that still<br />
needs to flex. They use the industry-standard M6 hardware and are reinforced with light-weight, high-strength<br />
carbon fiber. With this development, our engineers were able to define a new level of performance and durability<br />
in twin tip construction. The insert pull strength is increased by 30%, while the overall board weight is cut by 10%.<br />
Bedrock Carbon Inserts designed for the toughest boot riders in the business.<br />

DIVERSE BASE LAYUPS<br />
As riders push their equipment to new limits, we’re finding the base layup for each of our boards more and<br />
more important. Some riders want a lightweight layup, some want an extra thick and durable layup, while others<br />
want something right in the middle. We offer something for everyone in our <strong>2017</strong> lineup. Layups are as follows:<br />
Refraction (Sam Light pro)- .7mm DuraSurf base; Asylum, Vision, Super Grom- .4mm standard base; Widow Maker,<br />
Karolina Pro, Crisis, Glide, Misfit- .2mm standard base.<br />
NACA TECH LASER CUT CHANNELS<br />
Naca Tech channels improve performance and edge control by creating a low-drag submerged inlet that<br />
streamlines water flow while increasing board speed.<br />
