DEAL OF THE WEEK: Handy-Dandy Self Launch Tool This little tool makes self launching and landing so much easier. Everything needed is included in this nice neat compact design. Be sure to click the video tab to check out how it works. .gif){kind=small} $18.95 *Free Shipping |
 |
TIP OF THE WEEK: FALL FLAT While we would never recommend riding in shallow water, if you ever find yourself falling is just inches of water this technique may help. Try and land flat on your chest or back. Many times a rider will try to land on their feet or stick out an arm but this can cause serious injury. High speed belly flops may not be the best feeling but it can save some major pain. |

2011 Slingshot Rally: Pre-Order a Kite and Receive a $100 Gift Certificate The Rally keeps impressing everyone at kiteboarding.com as we get more sessions on it. The Rally's are in the UPS truck and scheduled to arrive next week. Simply place a order online and receive a $100 gift certificate for each Rally you order. Click Here to see Jeff's Review of the Rally (Click Review Tab) "Turning speeds are very fast, comparable very close to the the turning of my Octanes which I consider one of the fastest kites on the market, this I believe also comes from its over all light weight and also smaller tip area giving it much less swing weight when turning. Bridle is very simple, no pulleys to fail or wear out, just direct connect. Jumping- when the winds are solid and strong this kite has a great pop and Float, much better then any other delta type shaped kite we have tested. Overall I have to say the Rally will at this time become my kite of choice for sure." - Jeff Howard |
