Designer Mat Pendle started Globe Kites in 2003 after previously co-owning Takoon and Wipika with Bruno Legaignoux. Now with his own company, there are no limits. This has led to many design innovations that have shaped the technology of today’s kites. The moving front-line attachment point common in most kites today was patented by GK. Now the A-KPO bridle is a GK-exclusive innovation for 2008, allowing you to change the balance point of your front lines. Eleven years of inflatable kite design has put GK at the top of product development. Design innovation and refinement of manufacturing techniques are a No. 1 priority at GK, not hype marketing and gimmicks.

Product highlights: Updated versions of the Trix and VSonic kites lead the industry once again. Laser-welded bladders, laser-cut material and a strong LE seam are like none other available. The A-KPO bridle system is now easier to move than ever before, allowing the rider to tune his bar pressure or turning speed. Within seconds, the rider can change the kite for an upwind racing kite to a kite-looping freestyle kite by moving the centre of effort, which is only possible with the A-KPO. The GK Click-n-Go bar is vastly improved for 2009. Chicken loop safety, simplicity and versatility were of paramount importance when designing the Click-n-Go.
