Re: Slingshot wave sst 2016 vs 2017

Wahay great answer captain exactly what I was looking for! Just gotta find one now!! No worries. They also added more sizes to the line-up each year. So if you are looking for an odd size, you may need to look to a 2017/2018 I can confirm, wave SST 2016 are great sails to use with directional board...

Re: Slingshot wave sst 2016 vs 2017

There is no SST user than can give me some info? There are no significant differences between the 2016 and the 2017. And only minor changes to the 2018. You can get any of them and you won't notice a flying difference, IMO. The kite on initial release was the most stable airframe I'd ever flown. Ju...

Re: Stains on Slingshot kites

I've had it happen. No luck washing it out. Enjoy your new patterns. :) You just have to lay or hang the kites out to dry after sessions when you get home. I've had this happen with salt water also. Less, but it still happens. I think in the salt waters case, the dampness can still cause condensatio...

Re: Revl Arc cam: Anybody preorder one?

Just saw this video from jeri. video is sped up, which doesn't help the lack of video stabilization, but the horizon doesn't stay very level when she's riding. always has a fair / a lot of tilt to it which kinda defeats the purpose for buying a gimbal camera. Even when she stoped and the camera is ...

Re: Revl Arc cam: Anybody preorder one?

Their latest update: ... Interesting update on the Quark. Thanks for the share. This is the point where the kickstarter-type campaigns usually go to shit, though. They've come up with a great idea and have hand built a few prototypes. Scaling this up to production is very difficult. Problems with m...

Re: Revl Arc cam: Anybody preorder one?

I pre-ordered the Quark. Mostly because I already have GoPro cameras. Oh, I just looked at that thing. That's pretty cool. I agree with @gmb13 ... that thing and the GP internal stabilization should be pretty solid. I'd be worried about it getting caught in kite lines as it rotates, but it's still ...

Re: Revl Arc cam: Anybody preorder one?

Check out this video from a guy who just got his. He says its filmed completely on the REVL. The stabilisation (even the roll) and color depth look pretty bad to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NP8k5zUaZrE Ouch. Yeah. I don't see people running out to buy that, then. A stabilization grip in tha...

Re: Apple Watch Series 3 GPS + Cellular

.... A small prepaid cell phone in a waterproof case under your wetsuit will set you back less than $100. That is the most logical thing I've heard in awhile. Rather than looking for ways to adapt expensive new tech to our sport. Makes sense assuming you have a relatively calm water environment to ...

Re: 2018 SS Turbine- Small Sizes Gone

I was looking at SS's website yesterday and noticed that the 2018 turbine no longer has sizes below 13 available. Anyone know why they discontinued? Seemed like a lot of people liked them. I was considering the 11 to replace an aging 12 in the next year. To much overlap with the rally possibly? The...

Re: Advice on Slingshot SST sizing

You speak a lot of sense Captain! I was considering just switching out my whole quiver but I think a tad hasty not to mention expensive!! As it would happen a used 9m SST has come up for sale so I might try and get that and sell my 9m Rally. I hardly use my 7m Rally so that can wait. My 12m Rally i...
