History of the ESKIMO
People of the Canadian Far North, Alsaka , Greenland and other Arctic coastal regions, Eskimo (more
correctly called the Inuit) are hard experts of specific climatic conditions due to their environment;
snow and wind belong to their life. It is in all modesty and as a sign of admiration for these peole that
we have baptized our snowkite : the ESKIMO. Our ESKIMO is also an expert in the demanding
conditions found snowkiting; it is at ease and perfectly adapted.
For which level of rider…
The ESKIMO is a high performance kite for experienced riders. On the other hand, its stability, smooth
handling and it’s safety system also make the ESKIMO suitable for beginners.
With the ESKIMO, the GIN Kiteboarding Development Team have created a foil kite which benefits
from the same characteristics as a tube kite :
- fast and precise turning
-
great lift
- large depower range
The ESKIMO surprises with its fast and easy turn. It flies without any effort on the bar and it's lift is
powerful and energic.
The ESKIMO is very useable in low wind, as well as medium or strong wind. Its windrange is
impressive.
The control bar setting of ESKIMO was thought 100% snowkite, with a finish and a wish of well done
details.
The ESKIMO is also very easy to use for riding with mountainboard or buggy.
Construction
A highly skilled workforce take extreme care during the entire manufacturing process of our kites.
Every piece of fabric, reinforcement and detail has been carefully designed, refined and crafted from
the most suitable, selected materials. Everything is then assembled in a finely controlled process to
