SUPER GROM DETAILS
Like all of Slingshot’s twin tips, the Super Grom is hand-built in the USA, with high-quality materials sourced
from the Pacific Northwest. Construction includes a vertically laminated wood core that provides the best
flex, performance and durability of any core material on the market. New for 2017, Slingshot is employing
a carbon-reinforced Bedrock Insert mounting system, which reduces board weight while improving hold
strength and overall flex characteristics. Vibrant urethane rails enhance style and durability.

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

DIVERSE BASE LAYUPS
As riders push their equipment to new limits, we’re finding the base layup for each of our boards more and
more important. Some riders want a lightweight layup, some want an extra thick and durable layup, while others
want something right in the middle. We offer something for everyone in our 2017 lineup. Layups are as follows:
Refraction (Sam Light pro)- .7mm DuraSurf base; Asylum, Vision, Super Grom- .4mm standard base; Widow Maker,
Karolina Pro, Crisis, Glide, Misfit- .2mm standard base.

NACA TECH LASER CUT CHANNELS
Naca Tech channels improve performance and edge control by creating a low-drag submerged inlet that
streamlines water flow while increasing board speed.
