2026 Slingshot Friend Ship Wakeboard

The DNA of the Friend Ship combines some of our favorite elements of legacy Slingshot models like the Windsor, Solo and Contrast. It’s fast and free on the water and features a medium flex pattern that’s rigid enough for explosive pop without sacrificing its playfulness on obstacles. Flex tips help riders lock into presses while the tip / tail channels and stiffer belly help provide grip and stability when railing into corners and kickers. The Friendship is a true all-terrain weapon, built to handle anything you throw at it—perfect for riders of all ages and genders.
