There is a brand new sport that is like surfing, wakeboarding, and flying all at once. If you’ve ever been to Pismo Beach on a windy day, you will see over two dozen kiteboarders in the water or doing tricks high above it. Most of these riders are ordinary people that are simply addicted to this amazing extreme sport called kiteboarding.
Kiteboarding uses the wind to combine the aspects of surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, and windsurfing into one extreme ocean sport. The kite, anywhere from 6-20 square meters, powers the rider through the water. The kite will have either 4 or 5 lines up to 27 meters long that connect to a control bar, which the rider pushes and pulls to control the kite in any direction. The bar hooks into the rider’s harness, which is most often worn around the waist. A board similar to a wakeboard or surfboard enables the rider to fly over the water.

The 2010 Darkside is the ultimate weapon for expert high performance wakestyle riding and hitting rails. For those who won't settle.
Change, innovation and driving kiteboarding to a new level is what Ruben Lenten is all about. For 2010 Ruben expands his arsenal to include a wakestyle slider and rail specific kiteboard dubbed the Darkside.
The Darkside is made to be ridden with boots, although the NEW Slingshot BOLT-ONS foot pad / strap system can be substituted. It carries the traditional outline of Slingshot wakeboards yet is customized for kiteboarding. The Darkside is also made with Slingshot proprietary FRT technology and Taper Wall sidewalls for unmatched flex, pop and stability.
The synthesis of Slingshot wake and kite engineering and technology make the Darkside the most powerful force for hitting sliders and performing wakestyle moves with precision control and aggression.
