Slingshot kites

Slingshot have been in the leading pack since their beginning. Innovators and patent holders of Splitstrut technology and the original 1 pump system. Their kites have pushed the bar higher every year. The FUEL has set the freestyle standard since 2001 and has never let its crown slip. Bomb proof construction and a second to none customer service have provided Slingshot riders with perfomance and unmatched reliability. The Fuel design aided by Ruben Lenten is for the purists amongst us. To know what the 2011 Fuel is like, go fly it!

New 2011 Slingshot RALLY ( 14 July 2010) its for Jo not Pro

Slingshots newest offer to the fore is the RALLY. A kite for the masses this Delta Open C kite fits the bill for ease of use for all recreational kiters alike. Massive air and float are the joys of this kite, with a C like feel when unhooked as the load stays on the front lines and its upwind performance will rival anything on the market. For the rider who wants to try new things without getting a beating this really is for you. Light on bar pressure but with good kite feedback Slingshot with a small bridle and no pulleys seem to have plugged the (flappy response) gap that other Deltas are guilty of. Expect this kite if Sling market it right to take the beach by storm!! A kite for JO and not just a PRO

Ocean Republic Review the 2011 Slingshot Rally.

Ocean Republic's very own kiteloop monster Lenny has demo'd it and the performance blew him away. Lenny is C kite rider and not a fan of hybrids or bow kites so the task for the 2011 Rally was large. In particular its low end (light wind) performance had the 12m as the only kite in the air that day. It cuts a line upwind like no other kite. Very faster and pivital turning with nice amount of controllable pull in the kite-loop. Super easy relaunch in deep water. Great lift and surprising long float in the jumps. Lenny has recommended this kite for beginner and intermediate/advanced riders and as a kite for advanced riders trying new tricks.

Since this review, on his recommendation we have added the Rally to our school and rental line up for 2010/11 season.

A review by S2Air from the UK gives a detailed account of its characteristics.
