Sherpa!!! How'd you get it? What is the deal with the trailing edge? Gin told me it was a "revolutionary" new design the way it was integrated to the one pulley mixer.

Once you fly it, definately let me know how it compares to the Eskimo and the Yeti. I was so hoping to get a 7m in blue :sniff:

How long is that bar? The Yeti's used really short bars. The one in the picture looks shorter like the Yeti bars as compared to the Eskimo bars.

1 of 20 ever made 2013 Gin Sherpa 10m before company closed down ....
From what I see .... It uses one low friction ring just like on Zulu and Uru ... same bar with GTS as 2012 tubes with added 5th line as safety ....
I will try to do session or two this month to get you more info about it ...
Sadly its most unlikely you will see one of those in person or find one for sale .... 20 pieces of 10m version in 3 colors was made and this is the last one sold by Gin .....

Bar is 23" and comes from Uru ( floaters included ...lol )... kite was tuned to this bar and 5th line was added .. not sure if that is what production kite would come with ....

I don't know anything about those kind of kites, but the color scheme is way cool....Will you just be skiing with it or can you use it for a buggy engine too? :thumbup:

Who was complaining about new kite curse ???
Cant get worse then my ...... I am sitting home for 9 days now with swine flu ..... almost loosing my mind with that pain and being unable to taste food....
.... Phone is ringing all time with clients angry about unfinished projects ..... Meanwhile wind is blowing every day .... Gin Sherpa is patiently waiting .... and second package arrive today with Gin Tonkawa 15.4m to add some more drama to this situation .... Its been 5 weeks since I kite last time ... and when looking at near future there will be no time to do that soon since bills are waiting for money from unhappy clients ...... I walk out today to my kitemobile ... no air in front tire and battery is dead ... whats next ?????
.... Who said his new kite curse was worse ?????

That's bad. You should give all those bad karma kites to some derserving Gin fan :duh: and maybe fate will smile on you :cool: :crazy:

Holt cow, Kober you are a mess.:no:

I don't know B-Roc, kites from Kober might be like the native Americans getting blankets from from the white man. Fly that 10m Sherpa and you're gonna get swine flu.:kiss:

Hope you feel better you Kober.

Cheddarhead - 11-1-2013 at 03:00 PM

Sorry about your misfortune Kober:sniff: Hopefully you get better soon. After hearing what your going thru I will never complain about missing two weeks of kiting again.
