Details: As progressive freestyle kiteboarding evolves, the Vegas adapts and conquers! The '08 Vegas is a high de-power C-design tuned for direct bar-feel and constant power to give you confidence when loading up, unhooking and throwing powered tricks and jumps. Smooth, reactive steering gives the kite a very lively and crisp feel and also makes the Vegas perfect for kite-loops. 5th Element safety lets you go for glory with peace of mind while the Vegas' quick, easy re-launch gets you back up and riding hassle-free after a wipe-out. In 2008 the Vegas easily lives up to it's reputation as the definitive freestyle kite, robust construction and unmistakable style. Combining all the benefits of total de-power with the safety, performance and re-launch benefits of five lines, the Vegas 08 is breaking all the rules! Progressive looks, simplicity and performance come together in the all new 2008 North VEGAS. The VEGAS emerges as a dedicated 5th line freestyle kite with precise turning and steady handling for powered new school moves. Direct bar feedback allows you to feel exactly where the kite is for maximum control when un-hooking and jumping. Together with a 2 pump simplicity and inflatable wing tips, the VEGAS 08 gets you on the water fast and packing up easy. Using a redefined leading edge arc, canopy profile and swept wing tips, the VEGAS challenges what was previously thought possible with a five-line kite, changing angle of attack instantly to deliver a huge power/de-power range. Simply rigged on North's 5th Element, the VEGAS 08 has the direct bar feel and instant turning response of a c-shape kite, without the hassle of bridles or pulleys normally associated with a flat kite. The VEGAS 08 makes setting up for a jump almost effortless by allowing you to depower as you position the kite above your head, then sheet in for power and lift. If you’re looking for competion performance and safety with the simplicity of five lines, then look no further . . . The VEGAS 08 will give you all the tools you need!
