Why You’ll Love It
Explosive Load and Pop
The carbon construction stores energy as you load the edge, then releases it with a powerful and immediate snap for precise, repeatable big-air takeoffs.
Locked-In Edge Hold
Angled fins, defined rails and the double-concave bottom help the ERA V1 maintain grip while accelerating and loading hard.
Control Through Chop
The board is designed to remain composed in rough water, helping prevent the edge from bouncing loose as you approach the takeoff fully powered.
Confident Landings
A stable platform, predictable grip and controlled tip flex help the board reconnect smoothly and recover quickly from fast, powered landings.
Ride and Performance
Full-Length Double Concave
The double-concave hull runs through the board to improve directional stability, high-speed control and grip during takeoffs and landings.
Angled Fins
Four angled 1.75-inch fins provide secure edge hold and efficient upwind tracking without sacrificing the precise feel demanded by technical riding.
X-Core Flex Pattern
A stiff central section provides the support needed for aggressive loading, while controlled flex through the tips adds comfort and landing control.
Powered-Water Control
The ERA V1 is tuned to hold its line at speed across flat water and chop, giving riders a dependable platform for committed big-air riding.
Construction and Technology
High Modulus Carbon Construction
Carbon laminates create a lightweight, highly responsive structure with direct power transfer and an explosive release.
Atomic Wood Core
Slingshot’s vertically laminated wood core provides consistent flex, durability and dependable response from tip to tip.
Singleshot Fusion Sidewalls
The sidewalls are integrated into the core for durable rail protection, efficient energy transfer and a consistent board feel.
Carbon Bedrock Inserts
Lightweight, reinforced inserts create a secure connection for compatible kiteboard bindings under repeated high-load riding.
Dura Light Base
A durable base protects the board during everyday riding while preserving its lightweight performance character.
Rider-Driven Design
Developed with input from riders including Jeremy Burlando, the ERA V1 is tuned around modern big-air speed, grip, takeoffs and landings.

Choosing Your Size
Quickest Response
Choose the 132 for the most compact, responsive feel and quick transitions when board speed and technical handling are priorities.
Balanced Option
Choose the 136 for the most balanced combination of response, edge engagement, support and landing stability.
Maximum Support
Choose the 140 for additional planing support, stability and confidence during lighter-wind sessions or powered landings.
Match Your Conditions
Slingshot recommends choosing according to rider weight, wind strength and riding style. Larger boards plane earlier, while smaller sizes feel quicker and more playful.
Stance setup: Start with the middle stance width and a moderate binding angle. Make small adjustments and test each setup for a full session before changing it again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Bindings Included?
No. The ERA V1 includes four fins and a grab handle. Footpads, straps or compatible bindings are purchased separately.
Is It Designed for Choppy Water?
Yes. Chop control is a central part of the design, with the double-concave hull, controlled tip flex and secure edge hold helping the board remain composed at speed.
What Does X-Core Nucleus Mean?
It describes the ERA V1’s targeted flex pattern: a stiff belly for aggressive loading and controlled tip flex for comfort, grip and landing management.
Is the ERA V1 Beginner-Friendly?
It is primarily a performance board for experienced riders. Newer riders will generally progress more easily on a softer, more forgiving freeride twintip.
