Gin Spirit Reviews:
IKSURFMAG ISSUE 89
“It’s clear to state that the Spirit from Gin Kiteboarding is a great all-around foil kite. Whether you’re a beginner getting into foil kites or someone who regularly competes, this kite can benefit all levels of riders and allow them to progress quickly within the sport of kiting and foiling.”
THE KITE MAG - ISSUE 45
“Overall the behavior of the Spirit is very close to an inflatable kite and will appeal to a wide range of kiters. The benefits of a foil kite are significant for all riders and these ‘accessible freeride’ offerings do offer a genuine alternative to inflatable kites - for us the Spirit is a very impressive showcase of this segment of the market and has the capacity to add a new dimension to your sessions. “
KITEMAGAZIN - ISSUE 4
“Sporty, agile and with plenty of power, the Spirit appeals primarily to more experienced foilers and freeriders who have the necessary sensitivity at the bar and are looking for an all-rounder with race DNA.”

    I rig my fly surfer tampon with strings to a wonderful drop clothe and got a no brainer for foiling a UFO V2 if you like to play your kite most of the time then fly them and go foiling then the flying tampons is a good choice for you[fuck you Flysurfer ]

      @captainkirks7959 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would say that both Gin and Flysurfer are high-quality products with great search and development and both brands have paragliding backgrounds. However, this particular kite; the GIN SPIRIT is a much more stable, and sturdy kite than any of the closed cells freerides kites that we have tested. It has a stronger canopy and incredible setting. It's definitely has a higher performance than a Soul as it has the advantage of great lifting like no other, and it is easier to relaunch plus having simplicity at the same time. We give it the Number one position in its family regarding closed cells foil kites.

    Hy capitain, Ive 12 MT soul (for gusty Wind) and 15mt Sonic3 (for boost in low Wind) ..both them for airstyle and oldschool in low to medium Wind ..its a good combo ? But i Need to do practice my Sonic its more difficult... according to you there are a lot of difference on Sonic 3 15 vs soul 15 in hangtime, lift ? The Soul 15 Its more Easy to relaunch and comtrol in the air but the Sonic 3 15 there are many difference?
