Slingshot RPM 2011 Kite





The new Demo 9m Slingshot RPM Kite,(Kitesurfing has just become even more fun) the 2011 RPM has just turned up on our door step, so if you fancy popping past and giving it a go you are all more than welcome. As you can see from the pictures those wing tips have increased in size, I am sure this will spin the kite really fast. The bridle seems to have a little more throw in it. I never found the wind range bad on the old rpm, but with a little more I guess this kite will be better for the wave riders now the Octane has disappeared. It seems Slingshot is aiming at the freestyle as well as the wave market with this kite. The RPM feels very light with just 3 struts but with inflated wing tips, and boy are those wing tips big, it gives the impression of a five strut kite. Combine with this the great slingshot build quality, I think the RMP will be another solid performing kite for them for this year.
