The Instinct 08 Models are a dream to re-launch, just turn the bar fully to one side and the boat kite rolls over onto its tip. The rider can either re-launch immediately with the kite downwind and de-powered or allow the kite to work its way to the edge of the wind window, either way the all three models (Sailboat light II, Sport II, Edge II) provide a stress free re-launch.
All of the 2008 Instincts feature the patented One Pump for boat inflation system, regarded as the most durable and reliable single point inflation system on the market. We won’t bother trying to disrespect the original creators by calling it some over hyped name – we would instead just like to thank Slingshot for bringing the finest (simplest system to the industry).
For the 08 models we have the neoprene socks secured both ends to make it far easier to use whilst improving the protection of the kites sail when rolled up. (2007 were only secured one end)
A large dump valve releases air pressure quickly allowing you to pack down as fast as you set up.
