The Gin Spirit 12m is an all-around, closed-cell freeride foil kite designed by Gin Kiteboarding. It is engineered as a highly versatile "ride-everywhere" solution, optimized to perform flawlessly across water (100%), snow (80%), and land (75%).Key Specifications & PerformanceKite Type: Closed-cell ram-air foil kite.Size & Color: The 12-meter variant is officially color-coded in orange.Wind Range Profile: Known for exceptional low-wind capabilities, the 12m size generates massive, predictable power early on. It effectively mimics the low-end performance of a much larger 15m to 17m traditional inflatable Leading Edge Inflatable (LEI) kite.Handling: Built to feel intuitive and close to an inflatable kite, it offers light bar pressure, rapid turning speed, and highly responsive control.Hangtime: The foil structure delivers phenomenal, floaty hangtime and incredibly soft, controlled landings during big air jumps.Design and Utility FeaturesEngineered for Progression: The kite was developed by paragliding designer Hans Bollinger and fine-tuned by 11-time world champion Maxime Nocher, blending accessible freeriding with race-level design DNA.Easy Water Relaunch: Unlike traditional myths surrounding ram-air foil kites, the Spirit maintains a high internal pressure and stays open on the water. The ultra-thin Dyneema bridles resist tangling, making water relaunches straightforward—just push the bar and wait for it to reposition.High-Efficiency Inlets: The leading edge features highly formed air inlets that efficiently ingest air to make launching seamless, even in minimal breeze.
