About this episode
Where did Slingshot come from and where is Slingshot going?? A great chat with Jeff Logosz, CEO of the brand - sat in the Offices in Hood River during our trip to the states.
Liam and I loved this one - coming from a kite background we loved hearing about the days where it all began.
We’ve also managed to nab some foils off Sam Light in the UK since we got home and Liams been spending a good bit of time on the One-Lock system. He’s a big fan, even in the first few sessions - gonna be an interesting debrief in our next chat together no doubt
