Anybody have any advice for me? I'm looking to buy a used 2008 15m sling shot rev. I've never flown a sling shot before, just seeing how they are. I'm still new to kitesurfing and am used to flying my wh 12m boss.

cheers

is sling shot the brand that makes an air foil for the water? If so I have seen a kiter fly a 20 meeter in revere. How do they jump?

If you're used to flying the Boss the Rev will be a bit different. The 2008 Rev is a good kite. I never flew a 15m though but if I had to guess it's going to be a bit of a slow mover for turning compared to what you're used to with the Wainman. If you're still new to kiting it's probably a good option. Should be a good option for a summer kite for the lighter wind days.

Depending on your weight, I think you can get the same low end out of the Boss as you can out of the 15m rev. I have flown then both back to back and saw little if no difference in low end. Get a light wind specific board and if your not too heavy the Boss will be just fine.....
