Shaman 3.1
What Gin engineers did was construct the Shaman 3.1 of more than a single surface. It has engineered bow ties the maintain a double structure through the middle of the kite. They also made both wingtips double layer open celled to give it the maximum amount of structure. This is what prevents the kite from collapsing when going into neutral position. It keeps inflated during gusty conditions (like a closed cell). The reinforced, solid construction gives it maximum responsiveness. You’ll find the kite sizes from 4m - 9m move and feel like an inflatable kite. The 12m will turn slower than a comparable inflatable but faster than any other single surface foil on the market.
The fifth line safety release will fold up the kite like a lawn chair. It will kill the power like nothing you’ve experienced. This is especially important in gusty conditions or riding to the peak of a mountain.
The single surface means the kite stays in the air. If you can feel the wind on your face you’ll be able to fly this kite. Its the best performing foil kite available. The strong material is tear resistant. Feel free to smash these kites into the ground as much as you like. The single surface material means the impact dissipates on contact.
Less bridals due to better engineering. The bridals are shorter and have only “three layers” that connect to the kite. This means less mess and easier setup. The color coordinated yellow leading edge bridal makes untangling easy. Follow the yellow line and untangling the kite in seconds.
Disadvantage: Due to the extra material in the “bow ties” and “double layer wingtips” it doesn’t pack as nice as the peak or explore. Although, it will pack smaller than comparative double layer open cell kites. Other single surface kites will beat it in the department.
This kite is the favorite of Kite Alberta staff and students.
Kite comes with patch kit, compression strap, kite pouch and backpack.
