It was established in 1897, and entered the scene as one of the first brands to kitesurfing in 2001. As holder of their own sailcloth factory, as well as kite and kite-accessory factories, Gaastra`s highest priority is bulletproof quality through all our product range. The success of Gaastra always was and will be the teamwork and working with the best people in their areas. With their background, the access to the factories and all different kinds of materials and manufacturing processes, Gaastra will always be pushing their different sports to the next level. R&D TEAM Urs Hungerbühler is the “brain” behind GA Kites. His

year is split between Taiwan for light wind testing and controlling the production process and Tarifa in the south of Spain testing and developing in windier conditions. Since 2015 Gaastra has started working together with Roy Rodwald as product development manager. Together they represent a new era for GA Kites. As one of the biggest global players, Gaastra has main distributors and test centers around the world developing and testing right at the heart of this fantastic sport. For the 2018 season, with the help of Urs and Roy, GA Kites once again managed to reinvent itself and implement all new ideas into the new product range. With totally redesigned kites in the range there is the perfect kite for every rider (Spark, IQ, Pure, Pact). There are also two bars with adjustable width and line lengths, as well as three waveboards (90Seven Team, 90Seven Max, 90Seven Solar) and three twin tip boards (Blend, Watts, Pact) which complete the most comprehensive GA Kite range ever.

The back part of the strut is split for a stiffer back part of the strut and for a perfect radius control toward the TE. High density polyester dacron, impregnated (waterproofed) and polyurethan coated for excellent dimension stability and low water absorption. STRUT CONNECTION LEADING EDGE SEAM Full circle connection for stiffest kite frame. Optimized very stiff connection between the LE and the struts allows perfect control of the sail tension at the front part of the profile. Reinforced on the inside with a light glued dacron cloth.
