Gin Shaman 3 12m for sale. Kite only.


I have it listed on flea bay but will pull the listing for a PKF member and reduce the price a bit.

If buying through here I accept Paypal Friends and Fam or similar Venmo.

Pick-up is also welcome.

The kite is near mint. Sold it new to a student who barely flew it then took it as a trade-in.

Get your light wind option squared away before the snow flies ;-)

Most Comparable to Peak 4 and much better than previous Peaks IMO. A little bit heavier build than the PK4. Maybe slightly better upwind IMO than the PK4 but not as smooth handling-wise which could be attributed to the rings vs. pulleys on the Peak. Not enough of an issue that bothered me or anyone I've sold to. Just noting the difference. Both are great kites.

Flysurfer pulled ahead a bit in the comparison with the Peak 5. Took a great kite like the Peak 4 and made it better. As far as I know, they have only changed colors and moved to the lighter fabric on the Shaman 3.1. Otherwise the same kite as this one. For about twice as much as I'm asking I imagine.

I know they aren't as boosty as ram air foils but how is it's lift. My 14m Eskimo is a boosting machine but a bit raw with the power. I don't know if I can justify a new kite given how rarely I fly these days... but you've got me thinking. How much for a bar and lines?

Thanks Feyd - I'm a big fan of the new single skins! So quick and easy to setup/packup and self landing is a breeze...

I'm using SS Peaks for hydrofoiling and Souls for Twintip now.

Ill see what I can dig up. My used bar supply is lean theses days but I'm sure I have something somewhere.
