Gone are the days where you are embarrassed to wear a seat harness that resembles a large diaper. When the leg straps are installed, you will discover not only does this harness keeps the spreader bar down but it provides good back support.

If you feel like the leg straps are in your way, you can remove them! Boom!!! Now you have a standard seat harness!

This is a favorite for KGB's clients!

The Kick-S twin tip from Litewave is a fun board that can handle many different conditions. From flat or choppy water, ocean waves, or days that are nuking... this board will not let you down.

This board is your go-to board for most conditions and will last you for a long time.

Beginners like this board because of its durability and early planning for waterstarts. Intermediate riders enjoy the smooth ride and huge pop capabilities of this board.

If you are looking for a twin-tip that will be with you for a long time, try the Kick S.

Paulownia Wood contruction 

Paulownia boards are some of the most durable boards you can find. The Kick S twin-tip can handle just about anything abuse you can give it. These boards will not break!

Three-stage rocker

To give this board a playful feel and smooth ride, Litewave Dave gave this board a 3 stage rocker. This type of rocker is great for creating a smooth ride and amazing pop.

Precision Channels and Concave Bottom Deck

This board has a very unique bottom shape. The hooked rails and a flat bottom concave give this board a lot of grip on the edges and pop for your jumps. Combine this with the channels on the built in to the board and you have a sweet smooth shredstick.

Choosing the right board size

The Rally GT is back for its second year. This kite was designed to be a great go-to kite for all disciplines and conditions. Slingshot has dubbed this kite the "One-Kite-Wonder".

We have used the Rally GT V1 in our kite school because of its stability, smooth power delivery, and ease of relaunch.

The Rally GT V2 has been tweeted by Slingshot's mad scientists to provide similar reliability as the V1, but with added efficiency.

What is New?

Smaller Leading Edge

The LE has been tapered so that the kite will move quicker through the wind window. This provides more power, lighter bar pressure, and better upwind reach.

Two Different Bridle Configurations

Depending on the size of Rally GT V2, Slingshot has equipped them with different bridle configurations. Larger kites fly differently than smaller kites. So they should have a different bridle setup.

The Smaller sizes (5m, 6m, and 7m) have a 4-Point IRS Bridle. This IRS system features a bungee line on the lowest leading edge connection that creates a stable and smooth kite. Many smaller kites from other brands are twitchy and "temperamental".

The Larger sizes (8m, 9m, 10m, 12m, and 14m) have a 4-Point Pulleyed IRS Bridle. This configuration aids in the steering response and reaction time.
