Slingshot Kiteboarding 2018: SST
Win a Riot Curv Harness from ION this issue in our FREE subscriber prize draw.
The SST kiteboarding and kitesurfing kite is back for 2018. The new kite is fine-tuned to fly deeper in the window than most kites. This, combined with the kite’s shape and bridle setup, yields hero-level downwind drift and steering response even when tension on the lines is minimal. It’s the park-and-ride performance that you dream about. It pulls you into position, drifts with you like a shadow, then re-engages at the flick of a wrist. To better hold up to the surf, the SST features reinforced surf-tough canopy paneling designed to take a beating if it goes through the wash and a condensed version of our IRS bungee that cannot get wrapped around the wingtips.
Highlights:
– Superior kitesurf and kite hydrofoil performance
– Drifts like a dream
– Direct feel, instant response, no tangling w/ compact IRS bridle
– Reinforced surf-tough construction built to take a tumbling
– Responsive steering, even when sheeted out or drifting downwind
– Condensed IRS bridle won’t wrap around wingtips
– Extensive black layout prevents UV damage
