Looking for some speed in your surf riding? Look no further than Slingshot’s most fun addition to the Crossover Collection, the Celeritas. This board is faster than fast! The Celeritas is for riders looking for an innovative board that excels in small wave conditions or the rider looking to set new standards at their local spot. It’s faster than fast! Quiet literally the Celeritas has an afterburner built in!

The Celeritas is a short ‘trunk’ style board, with exaggerated concave and curvy tail lines. It also features a fast center rocker that blends from the center to the tail giving this board off the charts speed while maintaining perfect control.

The Celeritas is so versatile it is a blast to ride in small mushy surf but also holds it own in good medium surf.

The Celeritas was born out of a fun tri fin board shaped for Ben. It has such innovative qualities, adds to his riding and best of all…he even paddles this board too!

Proven world wide, the SRT 5’11′ Quad excels in small waves and river swell alike. New for 2009, as part of the Crossover Collection, the SRT has a round tail and quad fins. The SRT Quad is for lighter smaller riders or aggressive riders who want a fast forgiving board that makes tight turns in the pocket and the feeling of a quick speed burst. Kiteboarders coming off twin tips will find the learning curve adjusting to quad style surfboards easy.

The bottom of the SRT has a flat entry rocker, increased tail kick and a slight single concave in front. The outline is a ‘no nose’ which means that the wide point of the board is pulled back, matched with low round rails and a tail that is then pulled into a tight round thumb.

Light and lively defines the 2009 SRT Quad!

Its boxy rails in the tail and low round soft forward rail allow the SST Quad to be driven extremely hard in the turns.

This years most exciting addition to the Crossover Collection is the Ben Wilson Pro Model surfboard. It’s a high performance short board designed to compliment Ben’s aggressive aerial style. The Ben Wilson Pro Model Tri is for riders who want to surf exactly what the pro’s ride. It’s for riders who appreciate a board that draws a line in any situation, speed or condition.

The BW Pro Model has a slightly dome deck with a single concave bottom that zero’s out at the tail. This allows riders to control their speed strapped or strapless.

The BW Pro Model board is set up specifically with a classic tri fin configuration which allows for precision turns in the pocket. “Once I get a magic shape I can’t let go of it. I am freaking out on how good this board is from 3′ to 8′ waves. I can create massive amounts of speed and still draw insane lines in all conditions.” – Slingshot Global Team Rider Ben Wilson.

This is Ben’s bread and butter daily driver anywhere in the world. It’s the one board that always gets packed.
