Description
SPEED / RESPONSE
The SST V7 continues to push the limits of a kitesurfing kite. We have implemented a completely new Dacron that is lighter and provides even more performance. This new material, along with our thinnest, lightest struts, has made the SST V7 one of the lightest three-strut kites ever produced. Team Slingshot pilot and kitesurfing pioneer Ben Wilson continues to task our development team with pushing the limits of speed and drift. Building on the SST V6 platform that Ben fell in love with, our design team rose to the occasion and delivered a more refined SST V7 that offers ultra-quick response and precision cornering.
We built the SST V7 to deliver next-level speed, drift and response, while giving the rider great reach into the wind and quick confidence when relaunching out of the water.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
The SST V7 delivers hero-level drift, speed and response to maximize your fun on a surfboard, foil or twin-tip board.
Faster, lighter and more technically advanced than its predecessor, the SST V7 is the next evolution of a kitesurfing kite.
Favorite kite of Slingshot athlete and kitesurfing pioneer, Ben Wilson
Key improvements include faster turns, as well as increased wind and water relaunch performance.
NEW REDUCED WEIGHT DACRON
At Slingshot we are constantly testing and researching new materials. We have implemented a new Dacron on our leading edge and struts that is lighter and stiffer than our previous Dacron frames.
FAST RESPONSE WINGTIP
The SST V7's additional wingtip curve combined with our IRS flange technology provides increased speed and responsive handling, which has completely revolutionized its upwind and relaunching performance in the water.
MICRO TIPS
The SST V7 uses our thinnest, lightest struts. These smaller diameter struts provide a lot of overall structure to the kite while keeping weight and drag low to allow for next level drift and response.
AERODYNAMIC PULLEYLESS FLANGE SYSTEM
By eliminating pulleys, riders will feel a more instant and direct input from the kite. We use ultra-thin, static bridle lines. Riders will feel less drag through the air thanks to this aerodynamic braking system.
SPEED SYSTEM OF A PUMP
The patented Slingshot invention has received an update. We've increased the diameters of our One Pump tubes for cleaner airflow and repositioned the tubes to be more aerodynamic and durable.
COMPACT HOOD C
It provides the ideal balance between friendly, responsive handling with stability and smooth, fast power delivery. A versatile shape that excels in all conditions.
