2014 Best GP V3 Freestyle/Wakestyle Kite

2014 Best GP V3 Freestyle/Wakestyle KiteThe 2014 Best GP is like a shiny, new, 5-speed turbo with leather trim and a bumpin' system. It'll definitely throw ya back in the seat when you stomp on it, and the handling will not disappoint. This rig is built for performance, as you'd expect for world class freestyle and wakestyle riding.

Check out our current selection of Best kiteboarding kites.

New for 2014, Best has modified the profile of the GP's canopy and leading edge for improved slack-line feel. The new wing-tip design helps to stabilize your load and pop, while a new, trim profile in the big sizes maxes out the up-wind performance. Best has also beefed up the strut closures for added protection to the bladder material. The all new Twist Lock inflation system tops it off with an extra helping of stoke.

The 2014 Best GP is for the type of rider who is going out each and every session with one thing in mind: throwin' hammers.

What BEST Kiteboarding has to say:

Dominate the competition

So you think you have what it takes to be a freestyle superstar, a bag full of seriously committed tricks, insane style and a game face that shows you are handing out a schooling and taking no prisoners. So isn't it time that you stepped up to the kite to match your aspirations? The GP is the ultimate newschool and wakestyle kite and it's the choice of world champions when it is time to dominate. Youri and Gisela could ride any kite they wanted, but they joined Best to compete on the GP because the GP is team designed and 100% competition focused.

The GP's Reflex curved LE increases the canopy lift area; you get more power, pop and upwind ability so you can dominate the competition zone. The Reflex LE design means no other C-kite can match the way the GP slacks out after you pop, it's guaranteed to help you stomp your double passes and it's the reason our pro team choose the GP.

Twin-Tune rigging lets you swap front lines between newschool and wakestyle settings at a moment's notice. Newschoolers can tune in more reactive steering, increased depower and vertical lift to push their riding. Wakestyle riders can dial in more pop, less reactive steering and maximum slack allowing them to reinvent their style and blow away the competition.

After two year's meticulous development we've added the Twist-Lock LE Valve to the GP so you can be on the water in less time with less pumping. Team rider input has driven refinements to canopy and wing tip shaping, improving stability and responsiveness that will help you nail those 'balls out' tricks. Our Double Core RS canopy fabric is built with twice as many reinforcement fibers as standard cloths and it's so durable that we'll guarantee your GP for life. Add in a 5th-Line Safety system, original Canopy Framing and 3D Kevlar Airframe construction and you have a performance package that delivers Bomb Proof Build quality you can trust.

If you're looking for the competitive edge this season then it's time you joined the best newschool and wakestyle riders in the world on the GP and started to dominate the competition.

Best Kiteboarding GP Bar V3

If you going to be a freestyle superstar then you need a bar that is built to handle any abuse you can throw at it and exceed your aspirations for quality and performance. The GP-Bar is designed to be the ultimate 5-line kite control bar and it's packed full of high-tech construction, durability, safety and ease of use features that will help you dominate.

The Pro-cuff+ QR has been revised with a more intuitively shaped grip area, when you need to activate your safety you can be sure it will work first time, every time. We know you set your own standards high but you can kite safe in the knowledge that the Pro-cuff+ QR meets international safety testing standards and has one of most consistent and easy to reassemble QR that you can ride.

Above the double thickness, 8mm Depower Line you'll find an all new depower cleat design. Built from the ground up for one handed operation and maximum flexibility it allows you customize your bar for bar travel, depower reach and cleat height. Add to this the revised Back Line Adjusters and you have complete control over every aspect of your bar rigging. A new Front Line Tidy keeps your lines and 5th-line safety running smoothly above the bar while the Underbar Swivel helps locate your chickenloop securely into the underside of the low friction Delrin Bar inserts, ensuring that the transition from unhooked to hooked is as easy as possible. For those times when you don't make the pass you'll be glad that we have reinforced the handlepass leash and added a new one-handed, Pinless Safety release that works just like your favorite Pro-cuff+ QR.

The GP-bar package is finished off with a super tacky, no-slip grip. Extra heavy duty front flying lines are built to take any abuse you can deliver and all flying and leader lines are impregnated with a new low-friction coating to keep the sand out of the weave. The GP-Bar is designed specifically for our GP C-kite and has been tuned and tested by our entire pro-team- it's the most advanced 5th-line bar we've ever made. Take one for a spin today and begin your dominance.
