Slingshot Tyrant XR 5'8"

The TYRANT XR, the hard-charging wave slayer in our surfboard lineup, is built with XR Construction, an evolution of Slingshot's popular hybrid EPS construction. With bamboo and carbon reinforcements, XR Construction produces the perfect blend of weight and strength, providing you the highest performance true surfboard feel to handle all the rigors of kiteboarding. The TYRANT XR’s premium Hybrid EPS Core with bamboo and carbon reinforcements yields incredible response, snap and lightweight performance. This true wave-slayer features a tri-fin thruster set-up and rounded squash tail to provide better management of turns and speed through a wave’s sections. As always all of Slingshot surfboards feature the FCS II fin system for maximum performance and ease of use.
