Vegas doesn’t need an introduction. It is one of the best if not the best C-shape kite on the market. Designed purely for performance, wakestyle, freestyle and megaloops. Vegas offers you the best pop in North’s range which is key for powered newschool freestyle trick and massive jumps. Also after unhooking slack on the lines is massive. After the pop the kite has no power allowing the rider to perform their trick without the kite pulling. Kiteloops on the Vegas are tight, extremely fast and precise. It has proven itself by winning two times RedBull King of the Air at the hands of Aaron Hadlow, who worked closely with R&D team to develop best freestyle/wakestyle kite on the market.
You can tune the kite to match few different riding styles and preferences. Frontlines offer you two settings - freestyle for more lift, depower, reactive steering and precise, tight kiteloop. On the wakestyle setting you get stronger unhooked pop, longer ‘power delay’ which makes handle passes little bit easier and steering is less reactive so you can focus on the kickers or rails. Tuning options on the rear lines are increasing or decreasing the turning speed to suit every rider. Vegas definitely is for intermediate and advanced riders who want to concentrate on extreme manoeuvres, wakestyle riding and kiteloops. With the direct and fast responsive turning you can make lots of kiteloops in very short time, so the riding this kite is pure pleasure whether its big air or freestyle. We recommend you wakestyle bar for 2016 Vegas. The smaller bar has a lower V of the frontlines and the fifth line has less tension. This sets up kite perfectly for any wakestyle tricks. If you are advanced rider and you look for high performance kite with versatility of many customisable setups, Vegas is the right choice for you.

Technologies

• Loaded 5th line
  The loaded 5th line is a “nose line” which provides constant tension. This tension is responsible for fast and reactive steering, powered as well as depowered and a direct, crisp bar feel. Only the 5th line system provides 100% depower in less than one second when releasing the Iron Heart.
• Self Rescue Handles
  The self-rescue handles placed on the inside of the wingtips can be easily found in case of an offshore break down. They guarantee good, comfortable grip while sailing back to the shore during a self-rescue manoeuvre.
• Air Port Valve II
  2016 North kites are equipped with the completely redesigned Air Port Valve II. This new system is not twistable and doesn`t need a velcro system. Thread of the Air Port Valve II is redesigned and is less affected by sand or other materials. The top of the valve can be easily opened or closed. The new valve`s unique and redesigned construction has several advantages, but first and foremost it saves time rigging which gives you more time on the water. Tha Air Port Valve II works with any conventional pump or compressor as it can be connected directly to the hose or bayonet insert. The valve is suited for both, inflation and deflation. Deflation is integrated, which means no external deflation pin is needed. It is simply activated by turning the blue wheel on the inside of the valve completely right.
• Lazy Pump
  Lazy Pump system from North Kiteboarding allows you to inflate the kite from just one valve. Clips close off struts from leading edge to prevent unwanted airflow or simply to deflate only the leading edge. It`s both simple and efficient.
• Kook Proof Connectors
  The kook proof connection points prevent accidents and increase safety by guaranteeing that you cannot accidentally or by mistake connect your lines incorrectly when rigging your kite.
• Anti Snag
  The anti snag webbing prevents the lines from tangling around the wingtip of the kite. This make water relaunch easier and increases safety.
• Technoforce D2
  Teijin is world`s leading supplier for polyester fabrics and sail materials for all kinds of marine sports. North Kiteboarding is using the remarkably Teijin Dacron for leading edges, struts, wingtips and wherever high tension is found. Technoforce D2 is used for North Kiteboarding canopy, which was an exclusively developed for the brand. It has proven its superiority in dynamics and durability since NKB started using it.
• Zig Zag Stiches
  Every single seam is stitched with sewing technique called zigzag. At first they are glued, then stitched. The result is highly durable, clean and good-looking stitch, which overall support stability of the kite.
• Load Distribution Panel
  As kite geometry improves, canopy must continue to resist increasing forces. Load-Distribution-Panels are used to spread these forces, holding the kite`s shape even under the most extreme loads. In practive it gives in any riding situation smoother and more consistent performance.
• Fusion Strut
  This construction allows for a controlled distribution of forces between leading edge and strut. Struts are 100% connected to the leading edge with a flexible Dyneema line, which promotes clean profile and higher canopy tension.
• Abrasion Reinforcement
  All areas exposed to scuffing are strengthened with STPU reinforcements, acclaimed for its durability against abrasion.
• Lines by Teufelberger
  Teufelberger is a leading supplier for ropes, ranging from climbing, sailing and paragliding to specialized lines for kitesurfing. North Kiteboarding uses Teufelberger products for lines and bridles as they provide durability and safety.
• Zipperless Strut
  As in modern high-performance kitesurfing every detail has huge impact, strut without zippers means less weight, which gives results in durability and smoother flying characteristics. These advantages exceed the slightly more annoying process required when changing a strut bladder.
• Bladders of Polyurethane
  Every single bladder is made out of high quality Polyurethane. A material knows for its high elasticity in various temperatures and resistance to pressure. To ensure durable seams and binding the material together perfectly, North is using modern welding technique.
• Durable V Pigtails
  These pigtails assign the load of the line connections to the kite, minimizing risk of fatigue, which makes the kite less prone to distortion and helps with smoothly steering.
• Trailing Edge Force Control
  This system is responsible for providing smooth force distribution between different materials of the kite. It has to force tensions in the right directions. Since 2013, to eliminate stress points between Dacron Trailing Edge and the D2 Canopy material NKB made higher and wider waves. Thanks to this construction change, fluttering marks are reduced and material is not wearing out.
• Heavy Duty Leading Edge Closing Seam
  Special Heavy Duty Closing Seam makes leading edges of all kites intensely enduring. Leading Edge`s Dacron material is strengthened with a self sticky Insignia Tape and additionally double stitched to provide maximum durability for the kite.
