Well I have been looking around all the various Slingshot threads but I can never seem to find an answer to what I am looking for; so I have a few questions for you guys about their product line. In the area that I live, there are very few boardshops, and none offer demos so I need to do a fair bit of research before buying a board...You have my apologies if any of these have been answered in other threads. <BR> <BR>-What are the main differences between the 3 boards? <BR>-What are the colour schemes for each board? <BR>-What riding style suits each of the 3 boards? <BR>-What sizes are offered in each board? <BR>-Does the Slingshot mounting system more beneficial than the traditional style? <BR>-What is the durability like on their bindings? <BR>-I know it is different for every person, but how comfortable do you find their bindings? <BR>-If you find them uncomfortable, or do not like the bindings, could you please specify why?

-Response is continous, fast, more into the flats, quick on edge. Recoil is three stage, slow, tons of pop. Reflex is a progressive rocker, with more of a stiffer center, and softer flex on tip and tail like a snowboard, it's going to be a great rail board. <BR>-Find pictures or watch the slingshot surf expo video. <a href="http://thewakeplace.com/videos/EXPOSlingshot.html" target="_blank">http://thewakeplace.com/videos/EXPOSlingshot.html</a> <BR>-Response, into the flats. Recoil, wake to wake tons of pop. Reflex, rails. <BR>-again check video or surf expo pics, I'm not going to do all your research for you. <BR>-SS 4 hole mounting reduces heel and toe lift, and gives you a more responsive feel on the board. Much better than traditional mounting. <BR>-Durability is great, mine lasted a hard season until they broke, and SS's warranty is second to none. <BR>-Bindings are like butter, none better.

Their bindings are extremely comfortable. Plus, with the inner liner you can heat mold the liners to custom fit your feet. Their sick.
