History of the ZULU II
The ZULU are people from South Africa. The name ZULU comes from the expression
ama
zulou
, which means the people from the sky. Regarding the performances of our new kite,
we wanted to call it ZULU and to remember the expression
ama zulou
.
For what level of rider…
The ZULU II excels in the most extreme moves, while not punishing errors; easy and forgi-
ving while performing to the max. The perfect blend of explosiveness and comfort! With
its C-shape tendency, the design of the ZULU II comes from a very precise balance of all its
components. The result is an incredible versatility in all disciplines:
FREESTYLE: Its favourite playground. The ZULU II`s low end power will allow you to always be
safe and perform, often by using a kite size below average. The depower of the ZULU II
offers a soft and safe character that will quickly give you complete confidence. Its instant re-
launch will be a perfect ally in your freestyle sessions and the lift of the ZULU II will make you
discover a new perspective of your spot…
WAVE: The Zulu II is agile, playful and extremely stable. With its light bar feeling you will be
able to forget your ZULU II and focus completely on the most difficult passages in the waves.
Its intuitive and responsive handling will offer you your best wave sessions.
FREERIDE: Connected on its freeride setting, the ZULU II will delight the purest freeriders. Its
huge depower range will offer you a comfortable and smooth ride. Its ability to fly in very low
winds will allow you to enjoy the slightest breeze. The Zulu II will also allow you to reach very
high speeds, with an incredible sense of fluidity.
COURSE RACING: The upwind performance of the ZULU II is impressive. Its fluidity and
reactivity give you a feeling of smooth flight, without resistance in the air. The best GIN KITE-
BOARDING riders in course racing like Seb Salerno (2nd PKRA 2009) have demonstrated the
excellent performance of the ZULU II.
BEGINNERS: The Zulu II is a model of ease and safety. Its safety system is intuitive, easy to
access and makes the ZULU II a very popular kite for beginners. The many reinforcements
and the excellent manufacturing quality of the Zulu II make a robust and durable kite. Again,
its possibility of instant relaunch makes the difference.
