I am under the impression that the Slingshot T3 turned into the Key that turned into the Z kite.

Hey Kiteculture
I have a mint 8m royal if you want. Really only 10 rides most. Crisp.

The only kite that I have ever regretted selling was my 2007 13m waroo. Amazing kite that had a huge range and was fun to use. It was a bomb proof kite that is still going strong today with no issues ever! The only other kite that I have liked better has been the 3G Epic screamer 10m! Another soon to be classic kite!

Haha I don't regret getting rid of my 2008 waroo!!
I don't regret getting rid of all my old kites, maybe I'm a little different but I see kites have got better and better, 2013 wasn't great for some, but 2014 a lot of brands have really nailed it.
2011 dyno for airstyle, still no comparative kite as yet...and stuff me I tried as many as I could!! Perfect blend of stability, performance, speed, aspect and hence hangtime.
And oh the 2011 ozone C4, we still ride one. I wish they had diverged the C4 from this year, made a freestyle freeride version and ripped all bridles of another to compete with the real C kites.

Yep the '06 Waroo 14 was a game-changer for me. Still have it. I may have to bust it out this summer and see if the kite was that good, or just that much better than the kite I was riding before it.

The only kite that I have ever regretted selling was my 2001 Wipika Airblast 11.8 (16m flat) with a 60cm boom and 20m lines. The first kite I realy enjoyed sailing, it had fantastic upwind abilities and realy good depower, and in our gusty fjord it was flying perfect, but It was a bitch to relaunch if leading edge down, and the feeling when steering was not good, but untill 2006 when the Crossbow 16 came (with mod) all the other kites was more difficult than the Airblast in our gusty conditions . If I could try it now I guess it would stil be ok, accept from the relaunch

would love to fly my old kites again. Got like 10K worth of gear under my house.
Those kites rocked!
Sadly all are beyond repair.
Good for bags or something.
want them?
