Description
The 2027 Slingshot Formula V5 is Slingshot’s premium lightweight carbon twin tip. It carries forward the proven Formula shape and construction with a new look, and Slingshot built it for riders who want speed, efficiency and comfort together: crisp response, smooth chop control, soft landings and effortless upwind tracking. It comes with 4 fins and a grab handle; pads and straps or bindings are sold separately.
Who it’s for
Slingshot designed the Formula V5 for riders who want a premium, light carbon board with a fast, refined feel, and who want crisp pop without the harshness that often comes with stiffer performance boards. It suits freeride and big air in flat water and chop.
How it rides
Light and quick
Slingshot says the low swing weight makes it feel fast edge to edge while staying smooth and easy to manage through long sessions.
Crisp pop with comfort
The carbon construction loads cleanly and releases with purpose for an energetic response, while keeping enough forgiveness to stay comfortable when conditions aren’t perfect.
Smooth and efficient
It tracks upwind easily, carries speed naturally and, according to Slingshot, smooths out chop better than many boards in its class.
