Hi All

I have a warrenty issue on my Slingshot SX and have been given the option of replacing it with a Misfit. Unfortuanlty I can not test ride it first.
Has anyone ridden both boards? How do they compare?
I can still get a SX but I will have to wait a month before they have in stock so I am seriously considering the Mistfit but do not want to get stuck with a board I dont like.
Thanks in advance for any comments

Definitely get the Misfit. They are a better board.

Depends on how you like to ride. General cruising, hooked in whipped jumps, user friendly, comfy ride then SX is your choice.

Whereas the Misfit is sort of half way between the SX and Lunancy. Good for general riding but has more of an orientation to unhooked style of riding. Flatter with wider, squarer tips, better suited to loading up and popping with the kite low.

I also found that the Misfit being wider throughout and with wider tips, less rocker for the same sort of length as the SX gets going that bit earlier.

My personal choice is definately the Misfit. I have have had both boards over the years.

My two cents. Hope this helps.

I think you should pay a bit extra on top of that and get a door
