GAASTRA KITEBOARDING
- 2018 -
Gaastra was one of the first watersport brands ever. 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 push-
ing 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 wind-
ier 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 wave-
boards (90Seven Team, 90Seven Max, 90Seven Solar) and three twin
tip boards (Blend, Watts, Pact) which complete the most comprehensive
GA Kite range ever.

THE FREEDOM TO TEST YOUR OWN LIMITS.
The Pact is purely designed to further push the limits of the sport! Three times European Champion
Mario Rodwald has focused on a refined pop, slack and precise bar feedback.
This real C-Kite is equipped with five struts and fifth line to hold the aggressive profile in shape. With
great stability radical kiteloops can be landed safely as this kite returns to the edges of the wind win-
dow faster than ever. The Pact is a kite you can trust to take your riding to the limit.

The PEAK CONVERTIBLE offers all the great comfort and freedom of our
legendary PEAK waist harness with the bonus of being seat convertible.
This allows you to enjoy the comfort, freedom and support of a waist har-
ness with the control and performance of a seat harness when you need it.
No more need for two harnesses. It´s also a great option for those not
quite comfortable or confident in a full racing seat harness.
If you want a harness with the freedom to throw your next big trick and
the support to send you rocketing past your friends on the race course
look no further than the ultimate convertible experience.
FORCE
| NO PRESSURE OR STRESS POINTS, EVERYTHING IS PADDED WITH SOFT NEOPRENE
Once you lock in to the comfort of our seat harness you will realize the benefits. Un-
compromising style and comfort. The FORCE is equipped for all riders from the novice
right up to the pro racer. A medium hook position combined with the multi strap system
allows you to tune the harness to your liking. Extra leg straps and a safety belt make
sure the hook does not slide around. Ample padding and a grab handle make this the
most comfortable seat harness out there.FOLLOW US ON
