VELA KITESURF SLINGSHOT RPX V1 ORANGE

Exceptional Response &Return 

A completely redesigned Trailing Edge shape has been implemented on the RPX. Reshaping the trailing edge has allowed us to eliminate areas of turbulence, drag and flutter. This has ushered in next level response out of thekite,meaning better return to the top of window during looping, tighter turning radius’ for surfing, and lighting fast reaction speed. 

CleanByDesign 

The RPX is loaded withinnovative technologythat includes a new streamlined premiumFlyLineBridle System. This new system boasts a diameter of a mere 1.6mm which is a 25% reduction from the previous version. It’s stronger, lighter, and allows the kite to move through the air with less drag. The canopy of the RPX had been designed to meet the needs of the modern kiteboarder. This new and highly refined canopy profile features a reduction of 88 panels from its predecessor:the RPM. The result is a one-two punch of weight reduction and cleaner airflow. 

OpenPossibilities 

The RPX has been built upon a longstanding Slingshot Invention, the “Open C Canopy.” Often overlooked and misunderstood, the “Open C Canopy” is the magic of the RPX and its predecessor the RPM. This flatter arc offers extensive range, depower, and upwind ability while also providing accurate handling and energetic response. This harmonious blend of performance and comfort enables you to progress and per-form no matter who you are. The RPX is the culmination of our incredible journey with a wide array of athletes, designers, and inventors to create the next evolution of a versatility in a kite.
