Jump performance are on the beginner and intermediate level. No crazy boost or hard core accelerations. Just easy & predictable!

The Rally turns tight, the reaction can be a bit faster. Lift is gradual and float is long enough to airplay some strapless tricks.
Loved LW riding with the Rally 12m. Great one!

The 2015 Rally delivers amazing stability in the sky and is one of the most user friendly kites on the market. The exceptionally smooth handling and power delivery instills confidence in every type of kiter, from beginners to advanced freeriders. The predictable performance when sheeting the bar and steering the kite will allow for quick progression in beginners, and effortless sessions for experienced riders. No bucking bronco here; this kite cruises like a Cadillac! We tested several sizes in various conditions and are happy to report consistent performance across the entire range.
The geometry of the kite has been tuned to provide incredible wind range and near-automatic relaunch. The kites ability to dump power in gusty conditions makes it extremely versatile and a great choice for riders who spend the majority of their time in variable wind conditions. The HUGE wind range on these kites means fewer kites in your quiver to cover the full wind range at your local spot. Beginner and intermediate kiters will love the effortless relaunch, which helps build confidence and keeps kite sessions from turning into swim sessions.
Solid and powerful pull is delivered when you first dive the kite to begin riding. Don't be fooled by the easy steering and control, this kite will deliver the power you need to get up and cruising. Wave kiters are also gravitating towards this kite. With the ability to depower the kite and ride the wave, then tap into the power and hammer back through the break, the Rally is also a great choice for surf-inspired kiters.
Insider information:
The smoothness of the Rally may be an adjustment for more advanced or aggressive riders. When diving the kite aggressively in search of quick, powerful pull, it sometimes falls short of the quick power "burst" the riding is looking for. While this characteristic will smooth out the ride for most kiters, some riders may be left wanting when they dive the kite hard to get out of a sketchy situation.
Why you want the 2015 Slingshot Rally:
Because you want an enjoyable, hassle-free kiteboarding experience. The huge wind range, effortless relaunch, and easy handling make the Rally a perfect choice for beginners and freeriders of all ability levels.
