What Slingshot has to say about the 2020 Turbine:
The Turbine has always served as the benchmark for light wind performance. Introduced as the original and highest performing light wind kite ever built, a decade later the Turbine continues to deliver the pinnacle of light wind reliability and session saving dependability. The Turbine V10 features our proven Open Delta C platform which continues to deliver amazing power per size, upwind trajectory, and instant relaunch. The newest addition to the Turbine is our 4x4 Canopy tech. This new canopy material is going to aid in the overall structural stability of the wing, which will provide more wind retention and steering performance.
Why You'll Love the 2020 Turbine
- NEW 4x4 Canopy Tech - The strongest and stiffest material on the market
- If you are looking for the best session saving insurance plan, look no further than the Turbine
- Agile, efficient performance in a strong and powerful package
Turbine Technical Features
1 / NEW 4x4 Canopy Tech
New for 2020, we've upgraded our canopy construction with Teijin 4x4 reinforced ripstop material. This is the strongest, stiffest and most durable canopy material on the market. Your kite will last longer, have a higher resale value and feel more solid and stable in the air, especially in gusty wind.
2 / 5 Point Pulleyless Bridle
No Pulleys No Problem. The Turbine is engineered around a direct connect 5 point pulley-less bridle. This gives the Turbine unmatched support, bar feel and input while still providing maximum wind range, turning speed, ease of relaunch and unrivaled upwind performance.
3 / One Pump Speed System
A patented Slingshot innovation now used industry-wide, One Pump lets you inflate and deflate your kite through a central valve. If you ever had an older kite with separate strut valves, you'll know how much of a hassle it was.
4 / Splitstrut
A Slingshot innovation that has been borrowed industry wide, Splitstrut integrates the kite canopy and struts into one firmly interconnected piece rather than the canopy being sewn over the strut like lesser designs. Splitstrut creates a stronger, more stable and more durable canopy, enhances power under heavy load and creates efficiency and rigidity in the overall frame.
5 / Multiple Attachment Points
Different attachment points integrated into the kite allow you to fine-tune handling, power, and performance, based on your riding style and the conditions of a particular session. Even small changes to these settings can make a big impact on the kite's overall performance, making this an important tool for getting the most out of your kite every time you ride.

Bar Options
Sentinel Compstick Bar
Sizes: 17" x 20m / 20" x 20m + 3m ext. / 23" x 27m
A clean, simple and intuitive connection to your kite. No gizmos or gimmicks, no complex parts to worry about or maintain. While others have gone the opposite direction, our goal with the Compstick has always been rider simplicity. The Sentinel features an above-the-bar orientation, which puts the trim rope at arm's length overhead and gives the rider the most leverage when depowering.
Why You'll Love the Sentinel
- Traditional above-the-bar depower orientation
- Below the bar swivel lets you untwist lines at waist level
- The strongest flying lines in kiteboarding- 800lb inside lines, 500lb outside lines
- Updated safety release makes resetting even easier
- Set your throw with adjustable trim cleat
Sentinel Technical Features
1 / Sentinel Safety System
Simple, safe and reliable safety system with a push away release, integrated easy rotation swivel and easy reload.
2 / Ergonomic Trim Line Center Hole
Subtle "volcano" contour in the bar helps spread your fingers to prevents line chafing when riding with one handed.
3 / Above the Bar, Adjustable Trim Block
Depower is located above the bar at arm's reach. Trim block can be adjusted for proper throw distance.
4 / Diamond Bar Grip
Inspired by motocross grips, the bar has a grid of small diamonds and ridge lines that give it a solid, locked-in feel in your hands. The EVA foam is slightly softer than last year.
5 / Auto Indexing Swivel
Sentinel swivel is designed to automatically self-align when unhooked so the Chicken Loop is always ready for action.
6 / Spin-to-win Line Untwister
On-the-fly adjustment, slide the stopper up or down your trim line to set the amount of throw in your bar.
7 / Dual Oh—Shit Handle
A Slingshot original redundant safety feature that provides a secondary option for flagging your kite by grabbing an outside line and releasing the rest of the bar.
8 / Bungee Line keepers
Keeps your lines tidy and secure once you're done for the day.
9 / Molded Floats
Keeps your bar afloat when needed and cushioned to help protect you from injury.
10 / Fool-proof Visuals
The color scheme follows industry standards with red leader lines, red pigtails and red safety loops all on the left. Slingshot logos are positioned so you know you are holding the bar correctly when you can read them.

Turbine
Great Kite. Had the 2004 model this is so much better. Lighter, quicker turning, never stalls or drops. Upper trim option is super easy, way better than below the bar.
