Slingshot have released details about their 2015 15M Turbine which, alongside the 17M, means you'll have a kite that'll get you out riding in pretty much any state of play. Here's the skinny…
“At Slingshot our philosophy has always been based on fun. Our goal is to design gear that will get you on the water in any riding condition. The 2015 Turbine creates a new definition for what is rideable by getting you up and going in wind speeds as low as 5-6 knots. We attribute the range and versatility of the 2015 Turbine to our proven Open Delta C platform and our 5-point cascading bridle attachment system. This critical combination creates a consistent smooth feel throughout the power stroke along with direct bar input. Proven improvements include an aspect ratio and reduced LE diameter that work together to create more grunt and power without sacrificing turning speed, efficiency or upwind performance. The Turbine has our proven mini strut technology that makes it a full structured five-strut kite. It achieves the same benefits in the air with no hassles on the beach.”
And to compliment the Turbine, and complete the kit needed for those gentle days, Slingshot highly recommend the 2015 Glide as the Turbine's natural bedfellow, with a generous surface area that'll see you scoring whilst others sit and watch from the beach…
