Today's riders need to be at the center of control. Building on 4 consecutive World Championships, the new Compstick with Flight Control and Slingshot's patented Rider Control Center, is the safest, most comprehensive and intuitive control system available on the market today.

Slingshot focused on the performance of three individual zones which work together to provide a world class rider-centric control system. This new approach takes into account 3 specific areas:

  1. Flight Control - Above the Bar
  2. Compstick - At the Bar
  3. Rider Control Center - Below the Bar

All three critical areas have been optimized to work in balanced harmony. As a complete system, the 2014 Compstick blends the critical elements of safety, kite control, de-power, and convenience into a rider experience that is tested, trusted, simple, smooth, and intuitive.
