Overview:

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 but 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.
