About this kite

The Code is Slingshot's new-school big-air platform, designed hands-on with the brand's send-hardest riders. It boosts tall, loops with commitment and keeps enough slack for the freestyle crossover the discipline now demands. Now in its third version, with the rider-designed Code NXT V2 alongside it for competition-minded riders.
