2015 Wave kite based off of the 2012 Rally platform? Yes.
Release will be in calendar year 2015 and based primarily on the 2012 Rally which makes complete sense. There are a lot of riders who Love the 2012 Rally for wave riding and we're stoked to see Slingshot approving a wave kite for 2015.
Any design changes of note other than graphics?toyletbowl wrote:2015 Rally kites: - officially released to the market in July. Some dealers, myself included have demos ahead of the release.
We already have 3 - 2015 Rally demo kites (10m, 12m and 14m) and they are very similar to the 2014's. ...

I saw this in the bay area kite forum;

* The 2015 Ankle Biter 5'0 looks like the 2014 SP WVS, but without the inserts. (which is cool. nice look)
* I'm not sure what the Alien Twister 4'8" is...looks just like the Ankle Biter but with a flat nose and fish tail. I suppose it has a different rocker/bottom shape.
* T-Rex looks the same with updated graphics.
* This board below must be the Screamer or Angry Swallow...it doesn't look Angry...it looks to me like it would eat up big wind and waves so I am guessing it is the Screamer.
Paintings of naked girls on surf boards is always a plus. I like the way they did it. It's not in your face, but if you care enough to look closely at the board... "hello, hottie!"
It's my first time paying attention to the FCS II fin system. (there's a lot of info in this link) As long as the fins don't come out in a wreck (and it sounds like they've tested it) that is a pretty cool system. It would be really nice to easily try out fin combinations while your kite is in the air! Just pop off the rear fins or rearrange the T-Rex fins one handed w/o tools. Perfect for kiting. Sweet.
Hey, thanks for that info!Fatfish98 wrote:Angry Swallow is the T-REX
