Feb. 13, 2002
We just had a very exciting two weeks
in Cabarete. Kite Magazine from Germany was here to test all
new kites and boards on the market (or soon to be). The full
reports will be published in their April issue.
We saw lots of new brands and new
models of existing brands. The most exciting newcomer to the
kiteboarding scene was Gaastra. Gaastra is, of course, well
known in the windsurfing industry, but had not yet entered the
exploding kiteboarding market until now.
The new Gaastra Kites are bound to
take a big junk of the kite market. They are designed by the
famous, radical kitesurfer, super nice guy Cory Roeseler, father
and pioneer of kiteboarding in the USA. Notice the straight
leading edge which Gaastra patented and calls it the
Gaastra Accelerator System™.
Their super modern board shape is bound to cause quite a stir
too.
There is also a photo
gallery of Cory Roeseler with the new Gaastra Kites and
boards.
