HOOD RIVER, Oregon - With the new year approaching comes new gear and we couldn't be more excited to give you a peek at what Slingshot SUP has in store for 2016. Slingshot recently announced three new versions of its insanely popular Crossbreed model, the soft top, inflatable and the hard top. Learn a bit about each in the beautiful videos below.

2016 Slingshot Crossbreed Hybrid Soft Top

2016 Slingshot Crossbreed Inflatable

Unpack, pump-up, hop on and have fun: riders will love the quick and easy setup of Slingshot’s line of inflatable boards, and the convenience of a full-size, full performance SUP that fits into a backpack. The Air-Tech 11’ - the longer of our two inflatables – is 34.5” wide, 6” thick and has a volume of 320 liters. Like the 11’ version, the 10’ Air-Tech Crossbreed offers paddlers a solid all around board in a compact and easy-to-use platform that condenses into a backpack. The 10’ version is 33” wide, 6” thick and has a volume of 272 liters; the ideal choice for lighter riders or those looking to cross-over to small waves.

2016 Slingshot Crossbreed Hard Top

Whether paddling the waters of a calm mountain lake or waist-high ocean waves, Slingshot’s 11’ Crossbreed is the ultimate all-around standup paddle board. The shape, width and volume of the Crossbreed (11’x 33”x 230L) add up to a user-friendly profile that’s stable and forgiving enough for beginners just getting into the sport, while sturdy and maneuverable enough for advanced paddlers looking for high-end performance in a wide range of conditions.
