About this kite

The SST has carried Slingshot's wave programme for years: incredible drift, surf-specific wingtips and a lightweight three-strut build that stays composed in critical sections. Generation seven keeps the formula sharp for riders who measure sessions in waves ridden, not metres jumped.
