Saturday and Sunday looks light for Slingshot's demo, but they will have the new 2012 Turbine available and those lighter winds would be great for
testing it out. I flew it last weekend at the SPI Kite Roundup, and it was a great kite. Great low-end, low bar pressure, turned quick for its size,
and had a ton of float.
ProKiteSurf is putting on a demo at Wildcat Kite Park in Portland, TX on May 26th. They'll have most of/all the 2012 gear up for demo. They carry a
TON of brands, so you might get to try that kite you've been wondering about for a while
