Gaastra heeft sinds vandaag haar nieuwe productrange online. Veelal volledig herontworpen en zelfs nieuwe producten, waaronder een te komen 5lijns c-kite genaamd PACT en speciale barren voor scholen en pro's (extra lage y-splitsing e.d.) Daarnaast een board ontworpen in samenwerking met Mario Rodwald, 3voudig Europeesch kampioen
Een kort woord van GA's ontwerper, Urs Hunglho#$#$jgjr3$5345efienjneruehler:
New challenges are around every corner and you have to adapt. Kiteboarding is continuously evolving and new demands arise. To work on all those challenges on different products I had to travel a lot between various beaches and our factory, to make sure things go right. New fabrics, threads, glues, pu-film… So many details, but in the end all those details make the difference!
Our Research & Development is still based in Taiwan, because we can hit the water every day. In addition I had to travel to different spots, where we could find light wind conditions to test in 6-12knots. We found those conditions, for example, in Thailand and Indonesia where I tested a lot with Mario and Roy Rodwald. In Thailand there were perfect conditions for the racing tests, as we were able to test and compare both in secret and in high level competition. In Indonesia we found almost all conditions. Mostly light winds … combined with unreal waves.
Our factory is doing a great job and you can really see this in the kites themselves. We are now in the fifth year of our own production facility. The obvious advantage is that we have full access to the production and can tune all details to our exact needs. This is just so much more efficient – I have set up the quality control by myself and made sure nothing passes through I would not accept on the market.
Hell is below you, always look up!
