2006 slingshot fuel!t i

Post by Floridakiter »

Hey there, just got my new 06 fuels (13m and 9m) . I had the 04 ss fuels and loved them like no other, but the seals on the one pump bladder would melt off in the florida heat. Thats when i switched to the Best kites.I had the original 04 production kites and loved them. since then i think the kites have gone down hill, so i decided to switch back to the fuels and wow what a switch. The performance is almost identical to the 04' ss but it seems like the kites have a little more grunt which i love! I was wondering how they perform on the snow??? I might be coming up there the second week in February for my 21st birthday, and my recent engagement to my lovely minnesotian girly. Thanks for any info.

p.s. the conditions down here have been insane the last 3 days it has been 15 to 25mph and big surf, you all need to come down and get out of the cold, its been an awesome winter and its been over 70 degrees everyday!!

06 Fuels rock on the snow. With the front line to the LE or to the SATL you'll have no problem relaunching, and the one pump is really sweet when the nipples get real cold.

It'll be good to ride with you again.
