Slingshot NXT V2 Kite

From Slingshot

Code NXT V2 is the next evolution of our rider-designed New School Big Air kite. Built for instant feedback, smoother vertical lift, and fast, controlled loops. It stays steady under extreme load so progression feels natural, even when conditions get chaotic.

Designed for you

• Riders who want a Big Air kite with clean feedback and confident timing.
• Riders pushing faster loops, late rotations, and height-driven trick combos.
• Anyone who wants a kite that stays composed in strong, gusty, overpowered sessions.
• Riders who value precision, trust, and a supportive catch.

Rider Designed Performance

Every rider knows the moment a session feels different. When the kite becomes an extension of you, when power builds smoothly into your hands, when lift arrives exactly when your body expects it. That feeling is what the Code NXT V2 was built around. From the first dive of the kite, you feel a cleaner connection. The pull is more deliberate, the timing more intuitive. As you edge and load, the kite holds steady and predictable, giving you the confidence to commit fully. When you release, the lift isn’t just stronger... it’s smoother, carrying you upward with a sense of control that feels almost automatic. And on the way down, the catch is softer, more supportive, more controlled, as if the kite knows where you want to land. These sensations aren’t an accident. They come from subtle but meaningful refinements in tension, structure, and airflow, updates you don’t have to understand to appreciate, because you feel them instantly on the water. The Code NXT V2 isn’t just about boosting higher or looping harder. It’s about the feeling of riding a kite that responds the way your mind does, fast, fluid, and instinctive. A kite that gives you confidence the moment you launch. A kite that turns progression into something you can feel. This is the Difference.

The Feel

• Cleaner Connection
• From the first loop, Code NXT V2 feels more connected and deliberate. Feedback stays predictable so you always know where the kite is without needing to look. As you load and edge, it holds steady and supports commitment. The result is confidence that shows up immediately.
• Smoother Veritcal Lift
• V2 doesn’t just boost higher, it lifts smoother. Timing feels more intuitive, and the takeoff comes with a controlled, weightless rise instead of a harsh hit. You float with more composure at the apex, ready for late tricks and technical combos. It makes big air feel more automatic.
• Faster Cleaner Loops
• Loops accelerate cleanly with less drag and a tighter, more controlled arc. The pull stays manageable, the kite stays present through the loop, and recovery feels instant. You get the speed to progress without the chaos that kills confidence. It’s the kind of loop that feels “silent” until you’re already landing it.

What size kite should I choose?

Choose size based on rider weight, board type, and local wind range.

Use the size chart as a starting point, then adjust for your skill and conditions.

If you’re between sizes, size down for control or up for power.

If you’re unsure, contact Support and we’ll help you dial it.

How do I pick the right kite model?

Start with your most common session and what you want to feel on the water.

Use the Category and Attributes to compare lift, looping, drift, and bar pressure.

If you ride multiple disciplines, pick the kite that fits most days, not rare days.

Your setup and tuning can fine-tune the feel from there.

Are these kites easy to relaunch?

Relaunch depends on wind strength, technique, and water state.

Most models are designed for reliable relaunch and predictable recovery.

In lighter wind, relaunch takes more patience and correct line tension.

Practice relaunch in steady wind first to build confidence.

How should I tune my kite settings?

Start in the middle or “balanced” setting for your first sessions.

Then adjust for turning speed, bar pressure, and feel based on preference.

Small changes can make a big difference, so change one thing at a time.

If you want guidance, Support can recommend a setup for your goals.
