The Swiss Army Knife
Currently I have the 6m and 10m sizes in stock. Quantities are limited, so please contact me to see what is still available. I've been putting some time on them, and they are living up to the hype. The 10m will be an excellent lightwind option for most riders below 200 lbs.
In short, the Marabou2 is the most versatile kite I have ever ridden. It legitimately can be purchased as your first kite to learn on (water or snow), but still be the tool of choice as an advanced rider for foil-boarding and mountain snowkite exploring. And it has the efficiency to be used for twin-tipping on water, unlike other single skin kites. The Marabou is much more performance oriented than the Flysurfer Hybrid, and will offer better speed, upwind penetration and lift - something to keep in mind if these are performance characteristics you're interested in.
If you hate the idea of needing a different type of kite for each different kite discipline you participate in, ditch all the others and get a Marabou 2.
From GIN:
Close your eyes and imagine… you arrive on a beach with a little bag that weighs less than the bottle of water you carry. You turn your head into the wind and wonder if the anemometer would even show 7 knots. You remove the 12m from its tiny pouch and without as much as a single stroke of a pump, you are ready for an unforgettable ride on mirror-smooth waters. You distance yourself from the shore without ever looking at your kite – you can literally feel its stability and reliability. The wind is gusty and your kite floats in the water for several, long minutes. But you don’t need to worry – for you know that it will never completely fill up with water.
Welcome to a new dimension – the dimension of the MARABOU!
KEY FEATURES:
INNOVATIVE | ACCESSIBLE | LIGHTWEIGHT
LIGHTWEIGHT
Thanks to the innovative design of the Marabou 2, Kiteboarding will enter a whole new dimension. Half of the surface won’t sink! Plus, it is extremely compact and lightweight, so it can be carried anywhere.
INNOVATIVE
The hybrid single-panel and closed-cell construction of the Marabou 2 allows you to enter a whole new dimension when using the innovative design. Its new rounded and square shape allows you to experience an incredibly small and light kite that delivers exceptional power on foilboards, twintip boards or surfboards.
The closed leading edge allows the kite to be positioned further forward in the window and offers more upwind performance.
ACCESSIBLE
The Marabou 2 performs excellently in light winds and offers amazing stability. Its depower and maneuverability will make your session easy. In addition, if your kite falls into the water, you can relaunch it.
The zip on the inside of the leading edge allows for quicker deflation of the canopy and offers the option to leave the zip open when snowkiting for quicker deflation in an emergency.
