Slingshots behind the boat

Is a slingshot behind a boat really terrible? Another person said they "blow" and that got me confused.

Its the most fun board I have rode.
Ride one, some like it, some don't.

Lands super soft.
Good pop
Presses are sooo! fun
Perfect balance of locked and loose

I love mine.
I love the PB floyds also. Light, and really comfy.

Ethan31, i love doing things that involve board control like presses, I like feeling like I landed on a cloud, and I like to have good pop

What board do u ride? Do u ride cable too?

No cable. Boat only.

As much as I hate to say it because I don't like SlingShots stuff, they are actually pretty nice behind boat. Won't ever trust their bindings with anything I do though...they suck and feel like they were made in the 90's.

slingshot's boards and bindings are the best in the industry. Ive seen some crazy things done on these boards and bindings.

Can't speak to the bindings, but their decks are awesome. Some people on here dislike the SS lineup behind a boat, it messes with their timing/style/mind who knows, but I personally love my Response, and I have yet to ride it on cable.

I personally think that Slingshots bindings are incredible, and after they came out a couple years ago everyone else was trying to catch up. They are great boards behind the boat.

I got a friend with a slingshot setup, and his bindings are pretty bad. They fill up with water and take a long time to drain, it's hard to get on and off, and they weigh alot more than the board.

Some here at the cable have slingshots, they are the best (and most expensive) boards i've seen. One guy hits the sliver every round and after 2 seasons his deck is still good! While my Clash is already showing cracks after 1 month...

Comparing my 2010 Ronix Ones to my friends 09 SlingShot boots, I despise the SS. Dno how people like them, they're wicked heavy and really stiff and feel like they hold me down on the water.

Riding behind boat with my bindings on the SS was amazing though and I honestly thought about buying a SS, but I like Ronix a lot better and stuck with them. Paul from Ronix asked me about how I liked the flex board and how it rode, so I'm hoping they're in the works of a flex board...

would ronix bindings fit well on a slingshot recoil?

The boots are definitely sh*t. So big and bulky it looks like the rider is wearing space boots.
