Wind Catcher

"This yacht's elegant wide wings collect GP as it gathering the wind itself."

- Game description in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity.

The Wind Catcher (ウインドキャッチャー) is a Yacht type Extreme Gear that appeared in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. It specializes in accumulating large amounts of Gravity Points (GP).

Description
According to its profile, the Wind Catcher has elegant wide wings which collect GP as if they were gathering the wind itself. It can be purchased at the shop for 4,400 Rings.

Like most other Yacht type Extreme Gear, the Wind Catcher resembles a Windsurf board, but without a sail and with the mast and board joined together, similar to a boom. On its inner rim, the Wind Catcher is colored dark grey, with two circular foot panels on the bottom and with a green exhaust port on the back point and a handle attached on the top on the rim. On its outward side, the Wind Catcher is colored orange, with white highlights running along the inner rim, and has a rectangular green light on its foremost front. On the top of the Wind Catcher it also has two orange fins, with white highlights and green exhaust ports on the back, strung out.

As a Yacht type Extreme Gear, the Wind Star is capable of Air Riding. By talking off Catapults, the Wind Star can begin gliding through midair and Dash Rings, gaining Gravity Points while doing so, until the rider loses too much momentum and falls. It is also able to ride on opponent's slipstreams, reducing drag and helping to increase speed. The Wind Catcher does not have any unique abilities of its own, but it possesses three GP Gauge UP Gear Parts that in total can greatly increase the amount of Gravity Points the Wind Catcher can store.
