So looks like Vantage kites are getting serious.
They have some big hitters in the company Bruno is now a part of it.
Also kites are designed by an algorithm or something tech related blah blah blah that the owner has invented himself.
Looks like good things coming from this brand.
Has anyone had experience with previous kites?
New ones are yet to drop I say in about a month.
But looking like a good 5 strut flyer.

Wishing good winds for all.
As my local has fark all

Holy ****!!

Maybe angle but going on line length that has to be a record? Solid effort.

So when Best became Eleveight, is this similar? is Vantage the old Wipika??

Thanks for posting.

Don't know if it's the new wipika besides the old faces. Bruno, Alain?
They have Brunos hpi kite tech that they said they will use.
There are apparently 3 new kites coming a 5 strut big air. The 3 strut vulture as pictured and I believe a 3 strut c- kite.
I have no affiliation with this company but I'm going to give one a go and buy one. I shall let you know the outcome.
I just follow the inside gos and find out where the innovation will be coming from. I.e. these guys use a completely different way of design compared to any other brands.
I personally would llike to be riding a kite that has been designed by a computer analyzing load etc and all the other technical **** then tested. Not designed from surf plan.
Or instead of riding a kite that has been tuned to designer/owners personal preference or there own or catering to the team riders riding style.
As every kiters style is unique.
I ride established brand kites. So I'm by no way knocking established kite brands.
Just good to see innovation like this and the new Ocean Rodeo material.
It's a benefit to all of us in the long run.

If you asked a computer to design the best kite it would spit out a paraglider with 1000 cells and it wouldnt fly at all due to weight.

If that is real, that is the sickest jump I have ever seen. Windspeed has got to be more than 40knots to get that high. I hope he is still alive and found a boat back to the country where he parked his car.

The darker band accros the middle of the sky makes it look like photoshop

7m 35-40knots holland.
Forgot to give credit to the rider/pilot.
I don't think photo shop.
But internet the gateway platform to a utopian society is wracked with people thinking fake news.
What a shame lol.
Check out there website and you will get all the info surprisingly not too much marketing hype.
Just put email as being interested and you will be first to know when they are released.

I really cringe reading about algorithm designed kites.

At the end of the day a how does an algorithm correct too much bar pressure through a gust, or too little power when you load the kite.

I see things that happen on my kite after 3 months that I haven't seen before, so ultimately the best designed kite is the one with the most full in testing team.

A computer can't interpret bar to board, chop and a thousand other factors.

If you read how it's designed it's still hands on.
They have just taken it a step forward in design by gathering on the fly loads distortion etc.
As previously mentioned im not a tech head.
The guy who runs the company is.
So I suggest that if you are technically minded in computer science and engineering. Go to website and it will be like reading a children's book for you.
If not you can only interpret what he is on about.
All I wanted to do was show a kick ass jump that would of won kota.
And let kiters know about real innovation not a new inflate valve etc lmfao.
And an algorithm won't help depower load etc. You still have to know how to kite.
I'm presuming that it will be efficient in the air. And will react to input quickly and without delay.
Here's hoping.

I really like the black leading edge and white body thats what all my custom gliders and kites have. So theyve won me over straight away with the fashion

Just a shame hes hooked in so it doesnt count

Xenon are the Kite for you I'd say

Nah i got a goal to land some high end top quality flippy dippy stuff on film then its time to retire the boots and focus on tow ups.

with a small enough foil kite you could match the speed of this tow plane
Itll be wild but worth it. Need to work on a cutaway base rig like design for kiting

Sometimes it feels like you are just repeating yourself

An amazing pic and some good info. A brand and kite to look out for.
Thanks for posting.
