Found this pic of the 2010 Slingshot Fuel.

Looks sweet

to me just looks like the 09 fuel with similar graphics to the rpm,, but i could be wrong

Hey,
If you look closely, and it will be the highlight of 2010 for most brands, only three struts!
To maintain a constant curve profile and even tension throughout the canopy, designers really needed to surpass themselves!
Good Job!

Thats what I thought - 3 struts - but it could be the angle of the kite. The 2009 had the two outer struts pretty close together. We'll soon see.

God, you go from pimping one thing to another don't you?!!!

jordy- time to bury the hatchet.....let it go, he also posted photos of the new naish gear so was he pimping that too ?

Kiting is a massive part of my life, if me sharing info that I find or get hold of is pimping, then sue me. I'm sure I'll be posting more pics of the new gear once I get it

Also news from the Gorge is that the Fuel still has 5 strurts. Its just the angle of the photo. Also Slingshot gave Ruben the opportunity to add another pro-model board to his line. So he created a wakestyle specific kiteboard.

What Ruben said about it: The Darkside came to life and rocks the rails and flats hard. It’s a 138 x 40,5(cm) board with a sick rocker that let’s you ride upwind and pop perfectly. It’s a bit flat in the middle and more flex and rocker on the tips.
Riding it with the PBfloyds, I’m psyching.

Tino, I think you have a cyberstalker. New gear is always cool, keep posting.

New bar with pushout safety for the 2010.(I think I just hired my first whore)

Thats right Dave........, push away system and a "lock in" chicken loop to help hooking in after wakestyle. LEN10 bar still sweet and available.

You got a pic of the bar. Have they got rid of the bearing that was failing on the ss chickenloop last year?

No pics I can share just yet Waxy..... soon

Someone asked about this in another thread and somebody said they heard there is not going to be a Rev 3, but a new Octane. Don't know if this is true or not

Hope they come in a 13 and a 9 again. It's a good combo. No point playing around with the Rev too much. I'm not sure they can make it any better!

Hey Jordy,

The Slingshot Dealer Meeting is on as we speak. I'm sure I can find something out. I'll keep you posted.

Jordy, rumour from SlingShot UK is that the REV is being replaced (will have pics soon), there is a SS event in France this weekend so hopefully have more news for you.

Darkside 39 top sheet and Luancy 29 Base
