Quivrr Board DNA is derived from current manufacturer design information and governed Quivrr classification. It does not imply manufacturer endorsement.

What it was designed to do

The Slingshot sits in the Everyday Performance Shortboard / All Rounder board family and follows a Everyday Performance Shortboard / All Rounder direction. This describes design intent; it is not a score, award or claim that the model suits every surfer.

What it does well

Slingshot follows a Everyday Performance Shortboard / All Rounder direction within the Everyday Performance Shortboard / All Rounder family. Its low paddle support and 2x Futures Fin Boxes fin setup help define where it may fit; the final result still depends on size, construction, rider and conditions.
