Does anyone know where Slingshot kites are made. I have heard conflicting views. Some say vietnam; others say USA.
Do they make them in both?
Anyone know?

All kites are made in countries like Sri Lanka, China etc. As far as I know, no kite is made in the USA, or Australia for that matter. There are a couple of foil brands made in the native country but thats about it.

Lots of boards made in the USA, Australia etc though.

I think Ozone used to make them at their Vietnam factory if Slingshot were having trouble meeting orders through their normal supplier.

That may have changed now, Ozone are pretty busy meeting their own demand.
