Wonderful kites. Now that they have you riding for them in the States let's hope they start to sell them here too..... See you at the Fall WWBB .

I love Nahant but rarely get there anymore.

Congratz! Gin aren't big over here (in fact, don't think I've seen one at all) but I think the Zulu is one of the best looking kites ever made.

I never really watch snowkiting videos as I have never even went skiing/snowboarding so I can't relate to it as much as others. But I watch Pascal's videos religiously, he rocks on the GIN kites :wee:

Have Fun!

Congrats Kober,

Just don’t let it go to your head. We don’t want to see videos with you and some angry fishermen.
Are you working on the on a kite shop sponsor next? How about a camera manufacturer? So many directions and so little time.

Enjoy the ride.

Nice one mate.

I had around 200 metres of race kites collected over a period of 11 years up until 2009 and without a doubt the Gin Tonkawa race kites were the best I ever owned. Gin aren't just a paragliding company trying their hand at making kites to grab market share. The Tonkawa is unlike any other race kite and I urge anyone who hasn't flown one to do so.

Okay, I did what you asked of me Kober, now where's my Gin team rider sponsorship ??
