About as random as snowflakes. Which is killer.

The Rev is a hybrid with added vitamin C

Small rev & big Fuels would be great.

Rev has bigger range & bigger sweet spot if you get nice constant conditions regularly, the choice would be harder, if not you would like the Rev's versatility.

I have a Link 7 and I gave away a Link 10,5 to get a new REV.
10,5 was very fun but since I was not sodisfied with the low end of the Link 10,5 now I'm not sure to buy the 11 or the 13 for my quiver.

I ride usually in 11-18kn...

Rev 13 is fust and fun as my previous Link, or I should countinue with 11? :?: :roll: :?:

If you have the 13M; stick with it for the range you're in.

If you need another kite i would recommend the 9M for your next size, so you don't get to close of range with the 11 and 13.

9 starts working in about 18knots up to 30-35+

Currently I've got only the 7m Link.
The dilemma is whether to buy a Rev11m or 13m... :roll: :bye:

Well if you looking for more high end go with the 11M

If you are looking for more low end go with the 13M

If you want both get both; The 7M 11M & 13M would make a nice 3 kite quiver.

Hitting the mark.

Chris your playing it on the safe side...?

I rode the 9m Rev for the first time last week and I was truley blow away with the performance.

I normally ride a 13m 07 fuel. I was out in 15-18knots max on the 9m rev, mates were on my 13 fuel 88kg rider a 85kg rider on a 16m ochtane and a 85kg rider out on a 13m 05 yarga all boards varied between 134cm and 146cm.

This was the first real outing in Vietnam of the REV and the guys on the beach just watched in amazement as a 95kg fatty like me cranked upwind on a 136cm misfit 07 passing all the guys who normally track better than me upwind. The low end rocks and this kite it truly a legend in the making great fun super resposive and smooth. Well done guys in giving us a real kite to match the fuel. The turbo and Link had their faults, This time Slingshot have really hit the mark.

Anyone know if there will be a Rev 17? On the new site it shows a wind range for a 17, but is not available in the store--only a 15

Pop into the Sailing Club Resort in Mui Ne and ask for Scott with regards to Slingshot, Mystic and Dakine products.
