PERFORMANCE FREERIDE / BIG AIR

With the brand-new Spark 2019 going big was never so easy! The large wind range will make you smile on each and every day!

No matter, if you want to go big, take your gear into waves or enjoy a mellow freeride session, the Spark won’t be the limiting factor.

Both pros and beginners enjoy the lower bar - and steering pressure and the inimitably stable flying characteristics that make the Spark the go to kite for even GA top team riders in less than ideal conditions. You can handle the enhanced performance with no more than your fingertips and focus on your kiting and not the kite itself. A very sporty handling will make you embrace the kite’s reactions rather than fighting them, which results in fast turning abilities, better upwind performance and most importantly fun.

GA redesigned the outline in the leading edge area and shortened the center cord, leaving the AR as it is, in order to increase the overall performance of the Spark and obtain it one of the most appreciated kites on the market.

FEATURES

ANTI TANGLE WEBBINGS

Anti-tangle webbings at the strut and LE ends prevent line tangling and damages to the kite by tangled lines.

BLADDER

Special surface of the 100 micron polyurethane film prevents the bladder from sticking together.

BRIDLES

Dyneema lines with a polyester sleeve for protection, Logic V-bridles with triangle construction for stiff arc support.

COMPUTER AIDED CUTTING

Fabric panels are cut with a computer controlled plotter for highest quality.

COMPUTER SEWING

All patches reinforcements and connection points are computer sewed.

DACRON

The high-density polyester Dacron, impregnated (waterproof) and polyurethane coated creates excellent dimension stability and lowa water absorbtion.

KITE-BODY SEAMS

Triple zick-zack sewed and glued flat seams result in less turbulences on the wing surface.

KOOK PROOF CONNECTIONS

It's impossible to mix up lines with the kook proof connections to the kite.

LEADING EDGE SEAM

Light glued Dacron cloth reinforces from the inside. Glued and double stitched with a high-density polyester thread and a more flexible nylon thread.

PROTECTION

Heavy duty and super light Kevlar patches in the tip range prevent abrasion at the typical spots. Dacron panels provide force distribution of the connection points.

REINFORCEMENTS

High-density polyester Dacron, Kevlar though™ and heavy duty polyester fabrics.

SEGMENTED AND SPLIT STRUTS

Exact adjustment and definition of the profile as result of the segmented struts in the front part. Split back part of the strut for a stiffer back section and a perfect radius control towards the TE.

STRUT CONNECTION

Stiffest kite frame due to the full circle connection. Optimized ultra stiff connection between the LE and the struts allowing perfect control of the sail tension at the front part of the profile.

SPINNAKER

Special PU-coated, extra light (48g/m²) double rip-stop polyester fabric for a perfect balance of tear strength and dimension stability.

TE CONSTRUCTION

The reinforcement of the TE with a Kevlar TM line makes the dimension of the TE stay the same forever. Kevlar does not shrink or stretch. Stiff lines create a crisp bar feeling due to lack of stretch in the TE. The special shape of the double spinnaker panel brakes down high frequencies and prevents fluttering even after many hours of use.

SPEED PUMP

Easy and fast inflation and teflation due to the speed pump with double cross section connectors.
