I heard he is changing direction to follow his true passion and has picked up Morey as his new sponsor!

Surely Ben will make his own kite brand (BWS?) when he finishes with Slingshot!

Bingo

I'm with you guys,

There are lots of independant designers like MOMI, EH and Hansen that go around designing kites for other company's.

All he has to do is choose his prefered designer and tweak to suite.

My second option would be either Blade kites or even Griffin being Ozzie and all.

There is just so many kite brands around at the moment, saturation of the market? Good luck to Ben which ever direction he heads, super nice guy and very down to earth.

Nah, you all have it wrong.
He got cut when Slingy wouldn't release the Go Joe, So now he has changed to Ocean Rodeo and is working on a new line of "trendy" Go Joe's for unstrapped surfboard use.

Cabrincough cough...

my little vote is for ozone!!

I heard he got kicked out of Slingshot for costing them too much money by trashing too many kites in the silly sized surf he likes riding in.

I can confirm his new kite brand will be called BWS, but it does not stand for "Ben Wilson Surf" but "Beer, Wine and Spirits!"

^^^^ for anyone who hasn't already worked it out it's called sarcasm

Ok back to reality - I'm sure Ben will tear it up no matter what he does and who it is with.

Onwards to the next chapter!

if he went naish his respect would be making him a farewell video too

Come on Jankie,everyone knows he's coming to work with you selling those dodgy power band things you reckon work magic

Ben should show up some time in July for his wave camp....
Then for sure I will see what kite he is using!
For now no idea...
Bye Jankie
