_YETI
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:
