Slingshot Sci-Fly V2 XT Kite Surfboard
A compact, skatey kite surfboard with strap-ready reinforcement, explosive release and the durability required for powered freestyle.
The Slingshot Sci-Fly V2 XT combines the fast, playful Sci-Fly shape with extra-tough XT construction. Its compact blunt-nose outline responds quickly, while a triple-channeled hull, winged diamond tail and FCS II Reactor quad-fin setup deliver drive, grip and clean release. Reinforced high-wear areas help the board withstand powered takeoffs, strap riding and repeated hard landings.

Why You’ll Love It
Compact and Skatey
The short, blunt-nose shape responds immediately underfoot, making direction changes, rotations and trick recovery feel quick and natural.
Explosive Pop and Release
A freestyle-tuned rocker, triple-channel tail and winged diamond shape help the board load efficiently and release cleanly for powered takeoffs.
Drive and Quad-Fin Grip
The FCS II Reactor quad-fin configuration supplies strong drive and dependable hold while resisting spinout during aggressive turns.
Built to Take a Hit
XT reinforcement is engineered for strap riding, heavy landings and repeated impacts, allowing riders to commit without treating the board like a fragile traditional surfboard.
Ride and Performance
- Early planing: the compact outline accelerates efficiently and maintains useful speed in smaller surf.
- Fast transitions: reduced length and the short nose make the board quick to redirect beneath the rider.
- Freestyle release: the rocker and rail shape allow the board to break free cleanly for rotations and aerial tricks.
- Strong rail hold: the winged diamond tail and quad fins maintain control through hard, powered turns.
- Triple-channel drive: deep tail channels organize water flow for additional grip, stiffness and pop.
- Versatile conditions: designed for freestyle, boosting, small surf, powered surf and choppy onshore sessions.
Construction and Technology
XT Performance Construction
An epoxy and bamboo sandwich forms the foundation, supported by PVC foam deck reinforcement and additional fiberglass beneath the strap inserts and fin boxes.
Triple-Channeled Hull
Three pronounced tail channels stiffen the lower shape, manage water flow and increase directional grip and release during powered takeoffs.
Quad-Fin Configuration
Four fins create greater drive and hold than a traditional thruster setup while helping prevent spinout through aggressive turns.
Winged Diamond Tail
The defined tail outline combines turning control with a clean water release for sharp direction changes and efficient takeoffs.
3K Carbon Rail Savers
Carbon reinforcement around the tail rails helps resist dents, cracks and impact damage caused by repeated heavy landings.
FCS II Reactor Fins
The included tool-free FCS II Reactor quad-fin setup provides quick response, dependable grip and easy fin installation or removal.
Freestyle-Tuned Rocker
The rocker profile balances early planing and speed with the clean release needed for aerial and trick-focused riding.
Premium Deck Traction
A fitted traction pad provides secure footing and direct control for both strapped and strapless sessions.
