Slingshot is proud to introduce the all new 2012 Turbine...

We had one thing in mind as we developed the 2012 Turbine, make it even lighter. Every change we've made down to the smallest detail was to make it even lighter. When you want to stay on the water in 5- 6 knots you have to be light, and that is exactly what we set out to accomplish with the 2012 Turbine. We started off with a new bladder material that is 25% lighter, we also reduced the leading edge diameter and introduced a smaller strut size. Efficiency is king so we completely updated the design geometry as well as adding a few new features in increase on-water performance.

One the wing tips we have developed a new concept called "free twist tip technology." Developed to increase the narrow wind range of large kites.

We also added a new and improved "forward steering bridle." Designed for more improved steering, power delivery and adds more support to the wingtips. It's clean and light to the leading edge to maximize performance and Lightens up the bar pressure. No Pulleys!

Less wind does not have to mean less fun. Get the right kite for the job...

Doet me erg veel an the Art of Flight denken. Inclusief boom en witte lijntjes :)

Als ie overpowered wordt bij meer wind pak je toch een 11 oid? Dat is het hele idee van die grote kites, kiten in 8-14kn.
Klopt, maar ik er was iemand die 'm bij 14-16knopen al overpowered vond. En ik vind m'n 10 pas relaxed bij 17knopen. Vaarbaar is hij wel bij 14, maar daar is geen lol aan.
Mijn set is namelijk 17-10-7, dus is wel fijn als die 17 ook een beetje grote range heeft.
