Slingshot ghost whisperer/Adam withington big air video

Postby clydesdale » Thu Nov 17, 2016 9:59 pm

Anybody have the scoop on this new foil coming out? Is that the slingshot carbon hypermiler board as well or a custom board he's riding.? I see kiteboarding.com and nykitecenter websites have preorder pages but different mast/wings/colors.

I went looking for it a few weeks ago...nothing official anywhere that I could find that looked anything like what he's riding in the video.

To find what he is riding,

Compare a Moses vorace rear wing fusealarge and front wing

Pretty/very certain that's what it is. There are Links between slingshot and Moses at distributor level so it's not that much of a stretch

it looks a lot like a guy out of cali foils. And for moses and sling shot... I think LP would be pissed if they did that. I think it is more likely a prototype that they are working on for SS

good for moses to pick up a big contract like that congrats to the boys.
It does look really good too up close in some of those pics.

A slingshot dealer told me that these foils are made by LP in the Gorge for Slingshot.

The foild looks nice and Adam Withington makes anything perform great. But I have to shake my head at that big, bulky, heavy, and expensive to manufacture plate mounting system. :roll:

:wink:

CGL that is what I thought too... I can see SS stepping on LP toes after them making a good foil for them already which is in the same town as head office.
