Description

The NEW Slingshot REV 2 (2009) is the answer for every kiter looking for the performance requirements of a traditional "C" shape kite but more of the depower and range of a dedicated bow kite.

 

The Slingshot REV 2 (09) is a 4 line hybrid kite that has a unique compact bridle and comes complete with the NEW Directdrive 2009 control bar.

 

The NEW 2009 Directdrive control bar eliminates the use of pulleys on the bar and features the NEW patent pending Center Safety System (CSS) which has a new 2009 soft grip and slightly larger diameter to stop forearm fatigue and brings 100% depower safety and convenience below the bar. Slingshot is the only brand to offer complete safety in a 4 line package for added benefit.

 

So whether you are smacking waves all day long in the surf or a flat water freerider looking for a Fuel-like feel with depower, look no further than the Slingshot REV 09!

 

New Features on the Slingshot Rev 09 include:

 

Surf Proof Seams:

Surf Proof seams makes the kite stronger and more durable. When the kite is dropped in the surf or the shore dump it will withstand the punishment. The seams really tighten up the canopy, which lead to better flying characteristic's, holds its shape better in high gusty winds, and prevents blowouts when dropped in heavy surf.

 

Bar Pressure Adjustment Tabs:
You can adjust the rear line pigtails (3 options) so that you can ADD bar pressure. If you’re coming from a C-shape kite you will know all about bar pressure and how important it is to be able to feel where the kite is in the sky without having to look at it all the time. The bar pressure adjustment tabs will also help beginners as they will be able to feel where the kite is when in the air. Unlike some brands where the bar is super light and you have to keep an eye on the kite at all times.

 

2009 Direct Drive 4-Line Safety Control Bar:
The Slingshot Rev 09 has a new bar, with a softer grip and the diameter of the hole has been increased. This will reduce chicken rope wear considerably. The softer grip will stop forearm fatigue caused by long sessions on the water giving you a better grip for when you are carrying out unhooked tricks.
