The thrill of rediscovering strong kite sensations with the new Vertigo.
Kitesurfer: Andrew, GONG team rider, on a Steez Wood Flex and Vertigo Aramid.
Rediscovering kitesurfing sensations
“VERTIGO 2026: the kite that made me want… to (really) get back into kiting.
Tested in Morocco 🇲🇦 in proper conditions:
👉 Vertigo 2026 Aramid: 9m².
And then… a real slap in the face.
These days I mostly wing, with a bit of kiting from time to time… But this kite clearly reminded me why I loved kiting so much.
... And above all why I’m going to get back into it seriously 😅
💥 The sensations
👉 Ultra responsive
👉 Huge airtime
👉 Insane pop (a real elevator 🚀)
👉 Super efficient sheeting in/out
👉 And those Aramid struts… it just flies through the air ⚡️
Even when the wind drops, you can still work it easily. And bonus: it drifts really well in waves, super enjoyable.”
A kite with plenty of power!
“ 🎯 The right balance (for me).
Clearly, we’re looking at a kite with a strong pull for freeride / freestyle / big air.
And that’s exactly what I need.
I know that if I switched to a pure big air model like the Ayto…
👉 I’d probably get a bit too sent into orbit 🤣
(relaunches and landings aren’t something you improvise and… I still have a lot to learn)
No desire to end up as the official tester for the Artemis II mission 🌒”
Having fun and sharing
“ 🤙 Verdict
-
A fun, high-performance and accessible kite.
-
Perfect for sending it hard… without getting (too) scared …but… a little bit anyway!
👉And above all: it makes you want to ride again and again.
If you run into me on a spot around Marseille:
👉 I’ll happily let you try it 🙌
LIVE FOR IT.
