My Comments: Vertigo has now been released here in AUS. Kites are on April 2010 to April 2011 release. sizes 7m,9m,10m,12m,14m

For 2010, the Vertigo experienced its most substantial development since its introduction in 2007. The redesigned shape incorporates a wider canopy and more defined tips, while keeping same high aspect ratio, bringing high performance to a sophisticated kite.With its improved geometry, the 2010 Vertigo is a wave riders dream. You'll find the power you need when you need it. On the wave the Vertigo is capable of releasing power on demand while climbing up the window, even with minimal tension on the lines. The entire 2010 Vertigo line maintains its fast pivot turns, extensive depower, and low bar pressure, and the this year's development adds a direct kite feel and substantially increased lower wind range.With a complete revamp for the 2010 Vertigo, this riders' favorite will be sure to continue to impress on the water.
• Substantially Increased Lower End Wind Range
• Direct feel
• Fast pivot turns
• Extensive depower
• Mid bar pressure

flew one of these - it surprised me with how much i liked it, straight away i felt very comfortable with the kite. low bar pressure, smooth power stroke, liked to be ridden fast but had enough grunt to let you put if you wanted to....good kite.

this question is going to sound like akook, i just got mine and on the leading edge there are 2 atatchment point closer to the center, how will it effect the kite moving the bridle? ps im still waiting for wind

Hi,

They are attachments for a 5th Line. It's a cary over from the last model that was a 5 line kite. This model was super seeded. (ground up rebuild)

I would not recomend moving bridal. That could end very badly. Kite was designed to fly with current set up (4 lines).

Thanks
