Slingshot

Ocean Republic has been Slingshot's distributor of the top brand since 2005. We noticed before the rest the dynamics and construction of the brand far exceeeded what seen elsewhere. 9 years later and we stand behind our decision still. Slingshot kites have built legends and driven the sport in a direction.

RPM - Industry standard.

No kite has revolutionised the sport as much as the Fuel until the RPM came along and blew everything into its wake (pun intended). 2 back to back world titles. The Slingshot RPM was the first bridled kite to legitimately take on the much-favoured C kite in a PKRA Freestyle Championship and win, twice. At a time when riders firmly believed that they simply had to have the raw, uncompromising power of a C kite to stand any chance in competition, Youri Zoon proved them wrong in 2011 and 2012 with the RPM. Slingshot claim the RPM created (and still dominates) the three strut open-C category. Through years of testing and rider feedback steady improvements and subtle refinements have been made and the 2014 RPM is a powerful combination of aggressive freestyle characteristics and progressive crossover performance. Low profile wingtips increase turning speed and reduce drag, while the custom attachment points optimise kite performance and deliver complete tuning from freestyle to wakestyle in seconds. Inspired by Slingshot's world class team, the RPM delivers unmatched out-of-the-box performance with many options for personal customisation. The 2015 promises no pulley bridle with the same kite dynamic.

Rally - Stunning recreational kite

Now in its 5th year. The Slingshot Rally is still the most versatile kite ever produced. The 2015 Rally Kite defines ‘confidence.’ Never before has one kite been able to accomplish so much for so many different styles of riding.

The Slingshot Rally Kite delivers incredible wind range, maneuverability and low-end power. Quite simply it’s the most efficient and user friendly kite in the world. The Slingshot Rally was the kite of choice for the Enable Passion transatlantic crossing. Slingshot’s legendary construction ensures maximum durability and performance.

Comp Bar -

Slingshot has made their already excellent system even better by adding in soft and strong rubber around the chicken loop area. The result is that it makes the whole bar much more comfortable to use. We’re stoked on the new Comp Stick bar – one of the best bars out there just got that much better.
