Beast in the break with aggressive turning that will make you scream. It’s hard for us to label anything we make a “favorite,” but the Screamer is hard to beat in our home turf of The Gorge, where we get crazy wind, strong currents, swell as big as railroad cars, epic down-winders and first-rate waves a couple hours away at the Oregon Coast. For all-out, high-performance riding in all types of conditions, the Screamer is just plain badass. Modern shape /Built for speed, agility and high-performance handling, the Screamer is board you can ride hard all day and happily take out for drinks afterward. Cousin to the Tyrant but with our signature T-Rex nose profile, this is a board for aggressive riders who edge hard, jump like they’re on a twin tip and desire locked-in heel-toe carving.
The 2018 Screamer features a pulled-in thumb with an updated wing added to give a little more pivot during turns. A parallel rail outline and single concave rocker gives the a fast, locked-in feel of a high-performance wave board, while the shorter T-Rex nose profile makes for a playful feel for jumping, strapless tricks and general freeriding. Large carbon stringer patches on the top and bottom give the board strength where it’s needed while keeping overall weight down. Additional carbon on the tail prevents edge cracking from heel impact.
Screamer characteristics: Cousin to the Tyrant but with a progressive snub-nose shape to reduce front-end size and weight, the Screamer is a playful and agile board that will appeal to riders of all disciplines. Its pulled-in thumb tail and three-fin setup provide solid all-around performance and control at speed for traditional wave riding, while its shorter length and unique T-Rex nose profile makes strapless airs, tricks and strapped-in boosting considerably easier than with longer, more traditional shapes. The Screamer is offered in 5’2”, 5’4” and 5’6” lengths and features a parallel rail outline and single-concave rocker. This makes for a compact and highly maneuverable ride that can handle any conditions you throw at it.
Screamer rider profile: You’ll love the Screamer if you’re among the new-era of kiters that wants both solid wave performance and progressive freestyle capabilities out of the same surfboard. The board’s parallel rail outline, “pulled-in” thumb tail and single-concave rocker make it a fast, stable and slashy choice for all-around wave riding.
FCSll fin system: The 2017 Screamer comes equipped with the FCSll Reactor fin setup. This simple and secure system means you can click your fins in and out in one quick step, eliminating the need for easy-to-lose tools and fin keys.
Full versatility: The Screamer's FCSll fin boxes feature screw holes that allow for mounting of standard keyed fins. All of Slingshot's 2017 surfboards feature a three-fin configuration, which provides the ideal balance between speed, traction and agility.
Extra insert: Slingshot surfboards feature an extra foot strap insert located far back on the tail of the board. This insert allows riders who use straps to adjust their weight directly over the rear fins for added control and leverage when carving faces and slashing turns.

Tyrant characteristics:
The Tyrant is a classic short board profile designed for hard-charging, down-the-line performance, big wave conditions, high speeds and high-powered locked-in carving. Although a solid all-around short board shape, the Tyrant excels with aggressive riders who can take full advantage of its slender profile, snappy turns and high-speed capabilities. The Tyrant features a rocker designed for high-performance wave riding and a rounded squash tail that yields snap off the lip and locked-in bottom turns. Additional rear footstrap inserts have been added farther back, directly over the back fin to maximize these characteristics for strapped-in riders.

The 2014 Slingshot T-REX kitesurfing wave board was developed for a new breed of riders focusing on aerial tricks and fun, poppy changes in direction. This unique, progressive shape is trending in the surf industry with the top pro riders. Patrick Rebstock prefers this next generation surf shape because it makes it easier to spin and flip tricks with less swing weight and has a tight precise feel to blast upwind.
Everyday riders will love the shape because it makes it easier to catch waves by reducing the tendency of perling as you drop into your line. Once you’re in the wave, the aggressive 5 fin setup gives you more drive and acceleration without working as hard as a quad or tri fin setup. This unique setup also gives you the option of configuring the
fins how you want. Ride it as a tri for a more free, skate feel or as a quad if you’re looking to track more.
The new Slingshot T-REX is the perfect travel board. The shorter sizes make it easy to take with you to your favorite wave destination and fits in a wider variety of travel bags. Each of the sizes ride like a larger board without the weight and hassle. The single concave makes the board ride super
precise, but forgiving for all levels of rider. The tail shape allows for sharp carving in any type of condition.
