Ben Wilson leaves Slingshot

So Ben,
What brand of kite will you be flying from now on ?

Why are you answering the question ? ^^^
I put it to Ben.
He can speak for himself, can't he ?

Select to expand quote

I'm now working with some non-kiting based sponsors, which will allow me even more freedom to pursue the dream.


Yep Im onto it , Speedo and Crocs -And possibly a combo fridge magnet

Im sure he still can if he wants to.

I didn't actually answer the question (only Ben can do that I) only expressed my thoughts as to what he might do, the same as others are giving there opinions.
The fact that he said he had some other top secret projects in the pipeline just made me think that you were unlikely to get an answer at this stage.

Sorry if I interupted your intimate conversation......carry on.

Based on what you've done in the past and Lately "The Dirty South" which I've been enjoying heaps, I'm sure you'll do really well.

Good luck Ben

you could pm him ...

My question to Ben was strictly rhetorical. ^^^
There were no expectations of a reply from the man.
There's no profit to Ben by communicating to punters and no-bodies.
I was just being a cheeky monkey, that's all.
lol.
And in this thread ...
All the remarks and tributes from the crew,
All the hero-worshipping ...
It's all just background noise to Ben.
It's seabreeze-static and a mild distraction from the job at hand ...
That being self-promotion in a gracious and professional manner.
BEN WILSON LEAVES SLINGSHOT
Author: Ben Wilson
Ben is sending out the cyber-cv,
putting out the feelers and broadcasting to the Industry his availability.
And that's what pro-kiters do, right ?
But getting back to my original question ...
If a pro finds himself between sponsors, then there is no brand to pimp at the minute, hey ?
He's temporarily in no-mans land.
And if he happens to be frothing for a sess,
what kite can he pump up ?
What brand can he be seen riding with ?
What's a pro to do ?

Well, after ditching all the Slingy kites in the wheelie-bin,
maybe he'll rise early in the morning, grab a board only and score some nice, glassy tubes for a change ...
Instead of the chopped-out, wind-blown barrels he's famous for.

i cant wait for the day i read "waveslave leaves seabreeze" as a topic, whos cares about what kite ben wilson shreds on!!!
