Anyone know who stocks Slingshot in Perth, seems the usual suppliers have changed again.

Cheers

I was looking for Slingshot the other day too. That website you quoted has the 'latest news' being a 2013 Rally posted over a year ago Juddy, not a good sign

Windforce are only listing Airush on their site Nick.

I couldn't get any local dealer suggestions off the Slingshot site either..

same in s.a.

Not sure how it works in Perth but it seems shops change kite brands almost yearly and generally only stock 1 or 2 brands, I always buy local but it gets hard when you walk into a shop in Melbourne and they have a complete range of gear and brands that are readily available. I know Perth is small but I don't think its that small especially the kiting community.
I'll continue to buy local but l hope one day we end up with a large one stop shop. By the way I already checked out the suggested sites for Slingshot as mentioned earlier but things have changed again.

I bought my latest 11m fuel from kiteline.com. Great DEALS n no DRAMA'.S Which can be the case buying here from my experience! And no bull****!

Hey Brisbud how much was postage to aus? That site is awesome for Perth Slingy fans like myself

Email Michael, he will look after you! Mine arrived in 5days. Complete with no parts missing. Great service which is quite hard to find these days.....o

can you post proper link. the one you have listed is a consultancy

+1 for kiteline.

Just be aware no warranty support from Slingshot. I was on my 3rd quiver of Fuels when a brand new (first ever use) 13m ripped in two pieces in mid air after about a minute of flying. SS did not want to know anything about it.

Seabreeze removed the topic when I attempted to warn others - apparently I go to the effort of logging in and posting to make up sh?t?

At the end of the day I like Fuels, probably end up getting them again - evidently a sucker for punishment.

Sunshine coast kitesurfing co in Queensland stocks em.

Stance on semaphore road stocks slingshot.

But they don't send all the bits until you really get upset! Then just flog you off... From my personal experience! Utterly dissapointed being treated like a fool from them very recently! And I'm an original... One of the first guys to take up kiting in adelaiade and besides Phil who sold 'em... The first guy too get hooked on the POWER OF A FUEL! Say hi to Chad for me Kiterben and your Dad.

Kite Action in Caloundra are stocking all the new gear and have demo's avaliable. Give Paul a call, he'll sort you out!

But dont accept a second hand butchered part from caloundra for New retail price as sometimes is the case when buying parts shipped too Brisbane! Hey guys...

^^^Are you saying that second hand parts from caloundra are being sold as new ones???? I doubt that!!!^^^

Thanks for the info guys but I was chasing a supplier in WA

Greg from kitesurfwarehouse is local and has sold me a few slingys. Email him through the website, he's always been very helpful & can get in whatever's available in Australia.

Windforce in Nedlands has been a Perth Stockist of Slingshot for over 5 years!!!

Just change brands FFS!

Hey ol mate, stabber. Try riding an old 6.6m two Line slingshot kite and then put your opinion up!

Rang Windforce and they still stock Slingshot gear, unfortunately their website only shows Airush kites. Anyway all good and thanks to those who suggested alternative dealers.

Cheers

Check the international website for up to date info then go to kitesurfwarehouse or wind force .

Both give good service and know their stuff.

Time to look at other brands that provide great back up and support. The Liquid Force range of a three kite model including a high performance 'C' is something to consider. The LF TEAM will be over in Perth from the 3rd December and will have a range of gear for riders to try. We are looking to get LF established in WA including supporting TEAM riders. PM me for more information.

Cheers, Chris

If you want a kite that's an absolute bargain and heavy duty build quality, check out
kiteline.com crazy deals on slingshot FUELS and they have a few other's too that are too
good to pass up if you really know what you WANT!!!

And when it arrives, drive slowly too avoid getting a speeding fine cause your in such a hurry to get it!
