[/align]Check out the new Slingshot Gear!
Shay and Dave from Slingshot Kiteboarding will be making their rounds to many of the Bay Area spots to show and demo new gear from Slingshot. They've got some new kites and boards inclusing the new Hybrid, the Rev and the new Ruben Pro board. I flew the Rev recently during a quick session in very marginal conditions at Crissy and am looking forward to more time on it as things are looking good for this kite. It is very smooth, turns fast with good low end and a super-simple 4-line bar and safety system.
Try one yourself to see, but here's some of what others have to say about the Rev so far:
"The new 08 kites are so different it's unreal... the Rev has the Stablity of the Turbo 2 and turns faster then the Fuel and the new center line safety system is just sooo easy to use and works every time..."
"The REV is such a sweet kite, i myself fly Fuels and was really blown away by the preformance that the REV has. What more can you want this is Fuel with massive depower! i think you will find some guys/chicks changing from Fuels to use this kite."
"I did get to fly the REV for a short time yesterday. Not nearly long enough for a review, but it obviously turns very fast, has light bar pressure, and brings the leash attachment down below the bar which is nice. So, if you're looking for a fast light pressure kite, this one may be worth a look."
Keep an eye out for the Slingshot van, we'll be posting location updates here.
