Just got the new vegas 06 a few days ago and i have flowen all sizes
7m,9m,10, and 12m in the past few days.All super good.

I have made one ajustment to the bar set up. I have found that riding the vegas with an extra long chicken rope you get the most out of your depower, round about 40cm long.

Today i rode the 7m in 30knts with 5ft to 7ft swell at currumbin and the kite just goes off!! So fast.
Later on i flew the 10m and the feel and smoothness of the kite was great, didn't matter where it was you always knew where it was.

I have flown 90% of the kites that are on the market and i have noticed that the vegas seems to carry itself easyily thru the gusty conditions and power is very smooth. People have been out riding at the same time on other kites and have come in complaining about how gusty it is, but you just don't feel the gusts with the vegas.

Hang time is very simliar to a bow kite. Jumps great.

If you want to find out more about the vegas wingtips and cambatterns, just checkout norths website.www.northkites.com

More than happy to answer anyone questions.

Looks like a great kite...North always comes up with the goods. Thought that the North web site is a bit weak, as was the movie....but product seems great from reviews.

Hope to ride one of these puppies soon....but only seen 2 in WA so far...too late to market for Southern Hemi season.

North riders in the Philippines didn't like kite as much as the rhinos so they went straight back to their Rhinos. Said the kite flew well, but the depower had to be set up quite critically or it oversheeted or wasn't juiced enough. One is a North rider and the other i guess would have North tatooed on his tackle if it was big enough, so its a pretty believable. Generally the kite looks like it has good wind range and certainly looks fast when looping.
Price and build quality would probably steer me away until i'm convinced to buy North again.
