2017 Slingshot SST 8m Kite Used

2017 Slingshot SST 8m kite used in good condition. One small patch on the canopy.

On the water the Wave SST has an incredibly solid and stable feel, there is absolutely no chance of this kite over flying you, which gives you so much confidence of its down-the-line drifting abilities. The Wave SST also maintains great turning capabilities even when fully depowered, which is hard to get right but Slingshot has it spot on. If you’re coming off the Rally then you will notice a more dynamic, positive feel through the turns which is just what you need for smooth riding in the waves. If your kite skills are good then you can generate a lot of power so you can ride the SST a size or two smaller which is of course a real plus in the surf. If you do want to ride more powered then the Wave SST has a superb top end which is also a real plus for strapless freestyle – if you want to ride it stacked then there is plenty of boost and float potential.
