Description

The NEW Slingshot Octane (2010) 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.

 

Characteristics such as massive boost, unmatched range, light bar pressure, quick turning, kite loops without consequence, and solid surf performance are what define the design and engineering behind the Slingshot Octane.

 

It has a unique ultra compact stabilizing bridle and comes complete with the NEW Comp Stick control bar setting the performance level at the peak.

 

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 Octane 2010!

 

New Features on the Slingshot Octane 2010 include:

 

Slingshot Comp Stick Control Bar:

The NEW 2010 Comp Stick control bar eliminates the use of pulleys on the bar and features the NEW patent pending Center Safety System (CSS) which has a new 2010 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.

 

NEW features such as the Surefire Spinner, Auto Indexing Chicken Loop, Active Stopper Ball and Push Up Centre Safety System makes it the first choice for freestyle riders who demand more.

 

The clean and uncluttered 4 line configuration of the Comp Stick Control Bar also allows for easy and speedy set up.

 

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.

 

Progressive hybrid shape canopy:

Gives unmatched wind range with great low end and super stable in high winds. Effortless relaunch in every condition and at the bar depower/ “C” performance and feel massive boosting properties. Float longer and go higher!

 

5 strut design:
Giving a solid feel through all areas of the wind window together with unmatched stability. Maximizes canopy shape integrity through the turns and kiteloops.

 

CFI Attachment Points:
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.
