Slingshot UFO V1 Ride and Review

[@artg6361]

Thank you guys great review! Where is that magnificent spot thought!?

[@midlerp]

That is our normal riding area....Levee Kiteboaridng beach in Texas City, TX. Killer spot for sure!

What wind speed can you be in with the 9m and the space skate 65? How does it compare to the xlite?

[@midlerp]

this is a BIG question...I'll try to boil it down. The 9m with the space skate will get you out in 8mph wind speed...it is skill based on transitioning up on the foil as always but this kite flys great in those light winds so the kite management is EASY. the bigger question of the comparison to the xlite...they are very different. The XLITE will fly in light winds for sure but has very little pull so not a good solution for light wind flying. It is much better for higher wind foiling where you're doing down-wind maneuvers that affect the relative wind on the kite (so you need a light wind flying kite). In general we sell the UFO to guys freeride foiling in light wind and the Xlites to guys looking for a higher wind (13mph+) foiling kite that also doubles as a kitesurf solution in the high teens low twenties range. Hope that helps! We have every size of both kites in stock.

Smart they added the battons near the tips to stop fluter, still think the one strut is way to go for relaunch though, tradeoff for a little less weight not worth it IMO.
