Hey,
If you look closely, and it will be the highlight of 2010 for most brands, only three struts!
To maintain a constant curve profile and even tension throughout the canopy, designers really needed to surpass themselves!
Good Job!

Thats what I thought - 3 struts - but it could be the angle of the kite. The 2009 had the two outer struts pretty close together. We'll soon see.

Kiting is a massive part of my life, if me sharing info that I find or get hold of is pimping, then sue me. I'm sure I'll be posting more pics of the new gear once I get it

Also news from the Gorge is that the Fuel still has 5 strurts. Its just the angle of the photo. Also Slingshot gave Ruben the opportunity to add another pro-model board to his line. So he created a wakestyle specific kiteboard.

What Ruben said about it: The Darkside came to life and rocks the rails and flats hard. It’s a 138 x 40,5(cm) board with a sick rocker that let’s you ride upwind and pop perfectly. It’s a bit flat in the middle and more flex and rocker on the tips.
Riding it with the PBfloyds, I’m psyching.

Tino, I think you have a cyberstalker. New gear is always cool, keep posting.

New bar with pushout safety for the 2010.(I think I just hired my first whore)

Someone asked about this in another thread and somebody said they heard there is not going to be a Rev 3, but a new Octane. Don't know if this is true or not

Hope they come in a 13 and a 9 again. It's a good combo. No point playing around with the Rev too much. I'm not sure they can make it any better!
