Default Turbo Diesel 2 Demo

Hello again guys and gals. Neil from Slingshot is sending me two TD2 kites for demo. We are getting an 11M and 14M. I may be busy this weekend with lessons, however, I will make arrangements for these kites to be available to demo on Sunday. These kites are not available for release until sometime in March or April, but this will give you a sneak peak into the latest kite technology from Slingshot. I will post details as we get closer to the weekend. Thanks and have a great rest of the week.

I will be receiving them today (Wed). Again, I likely will be teaching, but may be able to make some arrangements to get them to an accessible location. Thoughts of a location for Thurs?

Lightbulb Bar Pressure???

So does the "2" in TD2 stand for twice the bar pressure as the original TD???

Naw, I love SS. They are a great company and I have flown their kites for the last year. The TD was just a disappointment for me, hopefully the TD2 will have addressed all of the issues...

Nuf said. Slingshot has struggled with a reliable bow design. New designer on board with this kite. We'll see. I will keep you posted on location.

We'll shoot for East Beach on Thurs/Fri if the tide cooperates. I need enough water to get my boat around for the lessons. Another option is Matt from Eckerd may be able to monitor the demo of these kites on East Beach in my absence.

I will be at East Beach all day tomorrow with the TD2's. See you out there.
I may be in the water teaching lessons, but feel free to take one out. They will be set up near my truck. (Green Rodeo)

Later,
Steve-O
