Slingshot Burner XR V2 Kite Surfboard
Early speed, playful turning and confident control from everyday waves to powered surf.

Why You’ll Love It
Early, Easy Speed
The small-wave outline gets moving quickly and maintains momentum through lighter wind, onshore conditions and softer wave sections.
Fast, Playful Turns
A responsive rail-to-rail feel makes the Burner easy to redirect, snap off the lip or release when you want a looser turn.
Confident Carving
The performance rocker and tuned rails deliver dependable grip and drive through powered bottom turns without making the board feel locked in.
Built for Real-World Sessions
XR Performance Construction creates a crisp, responsive feel with reinforcement in high-wear areas for demanding kite use.
Shape & Performance
Small-Wave Outline
The fuller forward outline supplies planing support and drive, helping the board turn marginal wind and smaller surf into a productive session.
Performance Rocker Profile
A refined rocker keeps the board fast down the line while supporting controlled transitions and confident handling in steeper surf.
Drive-and-Release Rails
The rail shape is tuned to grip through committed carves and release cleanly during top turns, snaps and strapless maneuvers.
Adaptable Fin Layout
Five FCS II fin boxes allow thruster, quad or twin configurations. The included Reactor Tri-Fin setup provides a balanced combination of speed, control and turning response.
Construction & Technology
XR Performance Construction
Bamboo and carbon reinforcement create a lively, direct surfboard feel engineered to remain crisp through powered riding and repeated hard sessions.
Carbon Stringer Reinforcement
Longitudinal carbon reinforcement increases strength and stiffness, helping the board respond immediately to rider input.
Reinforced High-Wear Areas
Additional reinforcement protects areas exposed to hard landings, concentrated foot pressure and demanding kite-powered use.
Premium Deck Traction
The fitted deck pad supplies secure grip for strapless riding, carving and aerial maneuvers while retaining a comfortable connection to the board.
Multiple Footstrap Positions
Multiple insert options let riders configure the board for added control during powered wave riding, freestyle maneuvers and harder landings.
Tool-Free FCS II System
The FCS II system makes the included Reactor fins quick to install and remove without traditional fin screws or a separate tool.

Choosing Your Size
Quicker & More Responsive
Choose the 5'6" when you prioritize sharper redirection, a more compact feel and added maneuverability for powered riding or strapless tricks.
More Planing Support
Choose the 5'8" for earlier planing, stronger glide through soft sections and additional stability in lighter wind or less powerful surf.
Size guidance: Final selection depends on rider weight, wind strength and preferred riding style. Slingshot does not publish a specific rider-weight chart for these two sizes.
