Rad - 2026

The RAD boot carries a decade-strong legacy as one of Slingshot’s highest-performance wakeboard boots. Recently upgraded with a removable liner, it’s now more comfortable than ever for long cable sessions and fully capable for street missions. Built with ultra-lightweight materials and a unisex design, the RAD is made for the entire wake community. Delivering comfort, protection, and undeniable style from first lap to last, it’s also one of the simplest and quickest boots to get in and out of—less fuss, more SHRED.

Designed for you if

• You want maximum board feel and connection under your feet
• You prefer a lighter-feeling, sleeker-looking boot
• You prefer a lightweight boot but are tired of walking back to the dock barefoot

DESIGN

DIFFERENCE

The RADs are built with ultra-lightweight materials to enhance performance while reducing overall weight and drying time. Their removable, lace-up liners are designed to be cinched tight and worn throughout your entire session, making entry and exit as simple as stepping in and locking down the dual-zone Gummy Strap closure system. Comfort is unmatched thanks to over a decade of fine-tuning the fit, featuring a 3D molded tongue and built-in J-bars for a secure, supportive feel. When it comes to stance customization, the K9 Mounting System pairs seamlessly with our Bottomless Base System to maximize board feel and create a fully connected ride from boot to board.

LOCKED-IN COMFORT

A 3D molded tongue and built-in J-Bars create a snug, supportive fit that eliminates heel lift and keeps you riding comfortably from first lap to last.
