DESCRIPTION

AIR WING

Enjoying your time in and above the water has never been as easy as it is today with the Air Wing joining our Gaastra collection. Our kite- and windsurf development teams worked together to come up with a high-quality product that is easy to handle and especially fun to use in different fields. You can combine the Air Wing with a foil and fly above the surface with ease, use it on a SUP board to play with the wind or carve on a skateboard, when there’s no water in sight.

TECH FEATURES

SEGMENTED AND SPLIT STRUTS

Exact adjustment and definition of the profile as result of the segmented struts in the front part. Split back part of the strut for a stiffer back section and a perfect radius control towards the TE.
DACRON

The high-density polyester Dacron, impregnated (waterproof) and polyurethane coated creates excellent dimension stability and low water absorption.
STRUT CONNECTION

Stiffest kite frame due to the full circle connection. Optimized ultra-stiff connection between the LE and the struts allowing perfect control of the sail tension at the front part of the profile.
LEADING EDGE SEAM

Light glued Dacron cloth reinforces from the inside. Glued and double stitched with a high-density polyester thread and a more flexible nylon thread.
COMPUTER AIDED CUTTING

Fabric panels are cut with a computer controlled plotter for highest quality.
COMPUTER SEWING

All patches, reinforcements and connection points are computer sewed.
REINFORCEMENTS

High-density polyester Dacron, Kevlar though™ and heavy-duty polyester fabrics
KOOK PROOF CONNECTIONS

It’s impossible to mix up lines with the kook proof connections to the kite.

ANTI TANGLE WEBBINGS

Anti-tangle webbings at the strut and LE ends prevent line tangling and damages to the kite by tangled lines.
SPINNAKER

Special PU-coated, extra light (48g/m²) double rip-stop polyester fabric for a perfect balance of tear strength and dimension stability.

PROTECTION

Heavy duty and super light Kevlar patches in the tip range prevent abrasion at the typical spots. Dacron panels provide force distribution of the connection points.

KITE-BODY SEAMS

Triple zick-zack sewed and glued flat seams result in less turbulences on the wing surface.
SPEED PUMP

Easy and fast inflation and deflation due to the speed pump with double cross section connectors.

TE CONSTRUCTION

The reinforcement of the TE with a Kevlar TM line makes the dimension of the TE stay the same forever. Kevlar does not shrink or stretch. Stiff lines create a crisp bar feeling due to lack of stretch in the TE. The special shape of the double spinnaker panels brakes down high frequencies and prevents fluttering, even after many hours of use.
BRIDLES

Dynema lines with a polyester sleeve for protection, Logic V-bridles with triangle construction for stiff arc support.
BLADDER

Special surface of the 100 micron polyurethane film prevents the bladder from sticking together.
