Sure have, the Slingshot T3 has an awesome amount of grunt , with all the usual T2 capabilities tweaked for even morebettera all-round performance and robustness
I only had about 15 minutes on the 9m in about 23kn @ kite stock ,after an average ride on a 12m proto from another loft.
I’m not sure how SS is going to market this kite or what the wind range for each kite will be , but I’m sure it will an exciting kite for anyone who gets a go on one.
My session was cut short when I put the kite through a down turn jibe, the kite ignited with power shot through to the other side of the window and ripped my hammer head hook clean off my harness! Woa wasn’t ready for that.
Cant wait to get my own one

Well i think it would be the T3 would have a bigger range, and of course instant relaunch, and for sure more bottem end, but of course it depends what you want to do and how you want to do it. Free ride and wave riding great kite.

Hey guys the T3 is almost here.
We had a couple at kite stock for demo and will have them at the freestyle nats after that the shops will be seeing them as demos..
Myself and Andy Yates had a good play on the 9ms at kite stock one as 1.1 and the other 2.1 to try the kites in there different modes. Andy prefered the 1.1 as it was lighter on the bar sheeting and steering also didn't turn as quick. He is staying on his fav fuels though.
I preferred the kite as 2.1 as might be a little more pressure to turn but turned quicker and I found easier to boost with..
The T3 is great for anyone who wants that bow kite that has massive range 100% depower and the simplest water relaunch ever. More forgiving and quicker to depower then the rev. Heavier on the bar so it is super easy to learn on and take to the top level of riding.
I have been doing a few lessons on it. To really test it's strength and durability plus ease of use. I love the below the bar saftey same as rev style.
I'm pretty sure all the info is up on the web site now too..
