Any wakeboard can be used for sliders, you just battle to go upwind because of the rocker. Personally I'd rather go with a LF kiteboard with less rocker and you can do the same with better upwind ability, unless of course you can pick up the SS board and bindings at a bargain in which case its probably worthwhile.

i have had the recoil and response boards imo the recoil was better behind a boat and the respose was a good cable board, the response is also far better to kite with and i have never used a board kiting with more pop than the response but it is a wake board and sucks a lot of power from the kite and doesnt go that well up wind.
my pick would be a LF concept grind.

I think you want the reflex, its a cable board and best for kiting... from what i read.
