GIN kiteboarding komt met een nieuwe foil deze winter, die de sterke punten van de Eskimo en Inuit combineert. Deze nieuwe kite wordt de YETI genoemd.



De YETI heeft z'n stabiliteit van de Inuit. De bridle is echter aangepast zodat deze met een 5 lijns bar gevlogen kan worden zoals de Eskimo dat altijd al had. Dit maakt het een compacte, krachtige, stabiele en veilige kite. De tas zal grotendeels zoals die van de Eskimo zijn. Dus veel straps om gear vast te zetten, plaats voor een camelback, stevige heupband en handige pocket voor bijvoorbeeld je telefoon op de heupband.

De prijsstelling van de YETI is scherp:

Curry


Wasabi met tas


Chili


The YETI combines the strength of the previous generation of foil kites, the INUIT and the ESKIMO, the kites that have created GIN KITEBOARDINGs success on the snow.

Sizes : 4.5 / 6 / 8 / 10.5 m2

Due to its perfect set of specifications the YETI will charm the snowkiters of all levels! Its main characteristics are:

Maximum stability
The YETI stays incredibly stable in any situation, for example:
• Gusty winds during a hard freeride session
• Unhooked and freestyle tricks
• Flights at low speeds and with fully powered bar (often
encountered with beginners)
• Light winds

100% depower thanks to the 5th line safety
The 5th line safety system offers the best safety possible:
• Completely releases the pressure when activating the safety
• Allows you to leave the kite on the ground without any traction
• Simple 5th line bridle
• The safety system is NF S 52-503 certified by a European test laboratory, ISO 9001:2008 (www.para-test.com)

Smooth and precise flight
The handling of the YETI is intuitive and smooth:
• Just the right amount of bar pressure for good feedback and tirelessly kiteing for hours
• Good upwind performance
• Combining comfort and simplicity with performance and fun

Best quality materials and construction
Thanks to more than 25 years of experience in developing
wings, paragliders, speedflying wings and kites, the YET I has
the following convincing attributes:
• High quality design and construction
• The right choice of components and materials.
• Solid and simple to use


The YETI bar was developed in collaboration with GIN Kiteboarding riders from Switzerland and around the world resulting in the following specifications:

Small diameter for perfect grip

Specific bar size matching the kite size

Swivel system for automatic untwists of the front flying lines and safety line. No more twisted lines!

Easy, simple and accessible trim system

Reinforced and extra long pre lines to avoid any contact of the flying lines with the edges of the snowboard or skis

Two different end cap colours to easily distinguish the left and right side


The YETI pack is designed for all your freeride backcountry snowkite needs. Its volume is large and we have designed several well thought out pockets.

Specific straps designed to carry skis, and sticks or snowboard

CamelBak® inner pocket with protection of the tube from the cold

Pocket for your iPhone®
