Gaastra Spark 2023

All-round performance and versatility in a huge range of conditions will spark your motivation to push your progression and go for bigger jumps. We completely redesigned the Spark and newly calculated its lift distribution leading to a more sportive behavior. A slightly wider but flatter wing tip reduces bar pressure and increases the Spark’s turning speed, which leads to a very agile handling. In order to stabilize the tips during fast turns and small radius loops, the side strut was moved slightly towards the tip. The flatter leading edge bending curve design in the center improves the Spark’s performance, especially on upwind tacks. With the addition of the Spark 15 LW and 17 LW you’ll be able to utilize the stable flying characteristics, controllability, power and great hang time in a wider range of conditions. The Spark combines easy jumping, low bar pressure and control with power, great lift and sportive handling, which allows you to enjoy its outstanding versatility in a huge wind range.
