The Slingshot Fuel has always been the benchmark for a performance kite -
since it started way back when, it's been the kite of choice for superstars and
wannabes all over the world. Lately, it's been the pro model for Ruben Lenten,
kiteloop megastar and... Cory Worthington impressionist.
Anyway - it's back for 2011 - and with a brand new look. Yellow is the colour
scheme for Mystic & Slingshot in 2011 (2010 was green) so you can be sure
the Fuel will be representing the new colours in full force!!!
Here it is - Lookin' snazzy with the white, black and yellow highlights.
For the first time in many years - it also has a new overall look,
with less flowing lines, more jagged bits.
It's also got 3 struts - big news for wave riders and freestylers -
who now get a lighter kite that drifts well in waves, and depowers more in the upper wind range.
Will the strut reduction kill the Fuel this year? Or will it reign supreme once again for 2011.
Only time will tell - so hurry up Slingshot - Get us some samples!!!!!
