$4000? Ouchwindrider1 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 17, 2017 4:41 pmI used to like slingshot but lately have just been put off by them . Their horrible graphics on their boards in the past few years are just a turnoff to me . Seems like the designer spends most of his time doing some sort of drugs before he begins work as no clear minded person would design such shitty depressing graphics. No wonder i have only seen 1 other slingshot board at my spot. and its a shame because they do make a decent boards. And Now with the almost 4000 usd price tag for a their new kite are u kidding me?? ..slinsghot what new features did u bring to foil kites that justify your ridiculously high prices. We really need some new quality players in the foil kite market as it seems these company take us riders for fools and will continue to push yhe envelope when it comes to prices.

Given that you could get a new race kite for that money, I'm curious why there isn't really ANY info whatsoever on their site about why this kite is worth owning.
BTW, they pretty much say it's just a re-badged Elf on their website:

Which sucks, because the Phantom could have totally been a competitor of the Hyperlink if they knew what they were doing, but I guess they just wanted to release an outmoded product just to say they did...?socommk23 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 17, 2017 10:06 pmAs the fone diablo is a gin kite.Mossy 757 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 17, 2017 6:46 pmAccording to their website the 11m is $2775 USD (I'm in the US so I'm not calculating VAT or export duties).

Still doesn't look to be bringing anything new to the game. It's not a race kite. Everyone else is so far ahead of the development curve. It won't win anything. So why have they bothered? Because there are people who will buy what the top sponsored rider fly i guess? The North ace hasn't really done anything. The lf elite has all but fallen off the face of the scene. This train has left the station.....and a few have missed it.
After saying you like the graphics on slingshot kites, I'm not sure your qualified to say that afterwards. Lmfao
That's an Elf for you! Fast as shit but hard to fly...foilonfoil wrote: ↑Fri Aug 25, 2017 8:46 pmWhat I saw was not ready with horrible tip tucks and all.
All of their development focus is in bridle and mixer so I would guess that there is much to do. Certainly the testing in May, it looked awful.Mossy 757 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 25, 2017 8:54 pmThat's an Elf for you!
