Hi All.. I have ridden both the diesel and drake.. the new drake a fair bit and diesel for 2 days in 20-25 knots of wind.. whole package is insane.. diesel 7 was ridden in gusty 25 knot westerly conditions at wellington point in brisbane.. kite flies itself basically.. very stable, easy, rides through gusts nicely, easy water relaunch with autopilot.. drake has lots of flex and goes upwind with ease. I also leant the kite to a beginner and she was stoked..
The new diesel bag is cool.. like a soft suitcase that holds your board and stores your kite,bar and lines.. whole FUSE package is sickk.
I now have a surefire bar and that caps off the whole deal with a very simple, efficient safety system.. slingshot will dominate the entry level of the business with FUSE.
