Slingshot Kite | 2019: We wrapped up one of the final days shooting #theNEWRPM in an empty random lagoon deep in Brazil. As we packed up, a tiny truck rolled up quickly and excitedly packed with 4 kiters whom we had never met before. As they piled out of their vehicle we were taken abacus they began inflating one of the very first model year RPMs. Here we were wrapping up shooting the evolution of a kite that had been developed a decade earlier and the exact predecessor shows up. It was tattered, it was flimsy, it looked almost prehistoric, but it looked good! We had to grab a photo as it just seemed too perfect and too full circle not to. After some high fives and some photos that create went on their way ripping off downwind into the sunset. The marketing has changed, the riders have changed, the construction and features have all changed, but the spirit never will. #20yearsofthis

Description

People who ride Slingshot will always come first. Our commitment to quality, innovative design, testing and riding have been a driving force for an entire decade. Through this decade we have been awarded four U.S. patents that make kiteboarding more convenient and safer. We also proudly license patents, from other great innovators of our sport, to help establish high levels of quality and set industry standards. This contributes to the prosperity and growth of kiteboarding and wakeboarding.
