He brought to Valence Health experience at McKinsey & Company and a background in medicine. Outside of his professional pursuits, Nathan Gunn enjoys spending time with his family and kiteboarding.
When it comes to inflatable kites, the bow kite stands among the most popular types in the world. It features a relatively flat profile and bridles that attach to the leaning edge, allowing for easy relaunch and secure handling in a variety of wind conditions. A highly versatile kite, the bow kite is used by riders of all skill levels, from beginners to free riders.
Another common inflatable kite is the delta kite, which has earned a reputation for its automatic relaunch. Due to its short and fat profile, the delta kite is relatively slow to respond. Nevertheless, it excels in many different wind conditions.
Popular among freestyle kiteboarding enthusiasts, the C-kite offers riders considerable power and lift, as well as high performance in the proper wind range. The C-kite does not feature bridles and excels only in a short wind range, making it a poor choice for beginners.
