Introducing the all new Jekyll kite from Gaastra; this kite is a complete new all terrain Bow style kite. After months of testing in then harshest conditions around the globe from gusty garbage to nuclear perfection Gaastra designers have brought forward a new era in design and functionality. The Jeckyll has a very stable and predictable flying manner offering a new benchmark in rider usability and safety. The very powerful profile of the Jeckyll offers a huge wind range with usable power throughout the sheeting giving this kite excellent low and high end power and stabilty characteristics.
The flying behavior and the 3 different safety options give you the freedom of choice to specify the kite to your needs. These aspects of the Jekyll will help improve your skills. Wave, wakestyle, freeriding, speed or hangtime: it’s your choice. The Gaastra Jekyll offers you bullet proofdurability for more water time and less trouble. The low bar pressure delivers less fatigue for a steeper learning curve but still allows the rider to feel where the kite is without continually looking. The pulley-less bridle offers the rider the confidence that there will be no failure of bridle lines. This is also instrumental in the smooth direct sheeting feel on the bar, power on or off instantly with zero lag can push you higher and faster than ever before!
