FREESTYLE / NEW SCHOOL
Higher, further and faster. Three impressive characteristics that make the ZULU 3 the freestyle rider’s best friend. The huge depower range available through the new ZULU 3 bar inspires great confidence to land new tricks faster. Get ready for a bird’s eye view due to huge lift, long hangtime and explosive pop. The ZULU 3’s easy relaunch will complete your perfect freestyle session.

WAVE
The ZULU 3 bestows you with plenty pleasure in the waves due to its great stability and performance that results in a very balanced feel. Should it come to a wipe out you can be confident that you and the ZULU 3 will come out of it with no harm done due to its strong build quality and the GTS (Gin Twin Safety). In combination with its fast relaunch the ZULU 3 is the perfect ally for wave riding.

FREERIDE
After changing two knots on the setting options, the ZULU 3 turns into the freerider’s best friend. The huge amount of depower and the ZULU 3’s easy handling let you achieve high speeds and superior jumps resulting in a lot of riding enjoyment. The ZULU 3 has an incredible windrange and even if the wind directions and the strength change, the ZULU 3 still gives you the riding comfort that you want.

COURSE RACING
Like its forerunners, the ZULU 3 has great upwind capabilities helping you to gain meters fast. With its biggest size of 16m2, the low-wind enthusiasts amongst you will have fun in the most marginal conditions. For its size, the 16m2 has very controlled, fluent and reactive handling. 

SPEED
Sebastien Salerno proved that the ZULU has the genes to go really fast by being the 4th fastest man on the water at the Luderitz Speed Challenge in 2010 achieving 100.54 km/h. 

BEGINNERS
The ZULU 3 convinces the beginner with its easy handling and smooth character. Great stability, loads of depower and easy relaunch make the ZULU 3 a great first kite that will also provide you with heaps of riding pleasure as your skills advance. The even stronger construction of the LE and all its reinforcements make the ZULU 3 the perfect kite for beginners to make their first progress on water and to try their first moves and tricks. Colour coded from the bar to kite makes the setup very simple and obvious, making the life of both students and instructors as easy as possible. The new GTS system offers you comfort through all the manoeuvres and the optimal safety.

BAR:

QUICK RELEASE - NEW INNOVATIVE GIN TWIN SAFETY (GTS):
Developed in collaboration with the Swiss engineering company DOMTEKNIKA and the GIN KITEBOARDING R&D team, the GTS system is a pure Swiss designed innovation!

NF S 52-503 certified, the GTS system combines two safeties in one. The secondary safety is located inside the main safety. It is therefore impossible to accidentally activate the secondary safety before having activated the main safety. 

The two safety systems of the GTS are both pushed in the same direction for releasing, away from the body. A simple, intuitive and easily operable movement allows you to release the GTS . The GTS is positioned in your field of view, both the primary and secondary safety are positioned at the same place for optimal memorization of the release movement.

The mechanisms to release and to lock are simple, intuitive and effective. 

The two moulded parts of the GTS system underwent an extensive study to create perfect ergonomics and innovative interlocking:

• The upper part of the main safety perfectly fits into the hole of the bar during un-hooked and powered situations.
• The holes placed on both sides of the main safety allow a self-cleaning of the system thanks to the natural inflow and outflow of water.
• The ergonomic shape of the two pieces allows an instant use for left or right-handed people.
• The two pieces are made of polymer; they are extremely resistant to the elements and meet the advanced requirements of GIN KITEBOARDING.

The GTS system’s chicken loop remains attached to the harness, thereby avoiding any danger of injury or blockage with the harness hook when releasing, this can sometimes be the case with safety systems that have an opening chicken-loop.

A releasable kite leash can be connected to the D-Ring on the chicken loop designed for this purpose. The release of the leash can be activated during un-hooked riding and moves.

DEPOWER LINE:

STRENGTHENED ELASTIC STRAPS:
Hidden inside the endcaps during riding while during transport and storage they keep the lines from unwinding.
