The new 2010 slingshot range is now up on the slingshot websitehttp://www.slingshotkiteboarding1.ashop.com.au/
Check to new gear and any product you might have questions about
Now lets hope we get some wind
Well if I want to use it at cable or winching pretty sure i do hahaha, and ive heard they got some new technology on their wakeboards thats not on their kiteboards. Not to mention ive seen a few pics of darksides pretty destroyed so im not to keen on the quality of those. I'm also keen to see the new boots, I heard they have been completley redesigned.
mmmm give us some Binding pictures 
Keen to spend some cash on D4's for this summer...
Don't start that again lol..
The 2010 Slingshot Straps have gone down the Laces road this year too...
Soon everyone will have straps with laces - and then what's next? Ratchet systems?
thing is on straps laces make zero difference, it's just a stupid gimmick, your feet are going to fly out the back anyway.
Yep - "Bolt-Ons" Pad & Strap System from Slingshot
"The DragPull Straps unique design mounts directly to the pads Super Structure. It has NEVER been easier" - Quote from the 2010 Dealer cataloge that's sitting on my desk... No wake section though 
Just got our new 2010 Octane 9m demo in.
It looks sooo good! The new bar is a massive improvment on last years and the kite looks classic Slingshot Tuff.
Feel free to pop past the shop anytime there is wind to take it out for a test run.
Slingshot Australia sponsored rider Scotty Johnson will have one up at Marrochydore next time there's wind so if you see him be sure to hit him up for ride.
Im busting to try this kite myself!

Just received our 11M Octane demo, its not a Rev3 its a completely different kite, we have a Rev2 pumped up beside it. Tips are much more upright on the Octane, this should give it a shorter depower throw and still should have low bar pressure.
The new bar looks really, really nice, all the releases are push away, SS have spent a heap of R&D time and $$$ on this new bar, and it really looks like it will do everything for most riders.
Kite has 5 thin struts, same bulletproof canopy contruction, struts more evenly spaced similar AR although overall it looks slight lower. Can't wait to try it out!!

Jordy it has 5 struts, App it was much more stable with 5 and they still managed to achive what they where trying to wich is flaten out the mid section a little.

Sorry for asking.... Seeing he is a "slingshot sponsored rider" I thought I would have heard of him.
Then again.... maybe not though seeing everyone is "sponoed" these days yewwwww.
"Characteristics such as massive boost, unmatched range, light bar pressure, quick turning, kite loops without consequence and solid surf performance" blah blah blah.
Whats next, a fuel with a spare man to hold you inverted while you pass??? I don't get it, sorry. Im a fan of slignshot, but thats just going down the river of sell....
isnt that the river all companies go down?
but yer companies shud really stop promoting gear as a one fixes all solution..
The Octane is still going to be sick in the waves from what I here.
If you spending most of your time hooked in when your wave riding the Octane will be the kite of choice. If you mostly un hooked in the waves the RPM is proberly more suited.
Although the Octane will still work well unhooked its just the RPM will be a little more stable in this fasion.
Hope that helps a little.
The Octane will be the kite for the majority of wave riders I would say.
I heard Ben is super stoked with it. I thought he would have been more a RPM man as he spends more time unhooked so I would love to here something from him...Ben if your listening?!... lets us know what ya reckon!
Cheers
Luke
