A test that was a sign of heaps of fun sessions to come for Corentin, who got himself a brand new 10m2 Vertigo kite.
Kitesurfer: Patrice, GONG boss & shaper, with the Vertigo, FeelX bar and a twintip.
Equipment and design
“First test yesterday of the new GONG Galaxy kite on our secret spot in Vendée.
I have a huge crush on the FeelX bar (the 52 in this case) which is magnificent and ultra pleasant in the hand with the super practical square un-twister.
The kites are very beautiful, the storage bag for the bar and the kite backpack are impeccable. Nice job on the design by the way”
Perfect in jumps, loops, upwind,...
“On the water, no surprises for a first session on this Vertigo 10m2 and TT. The sunny conditions were perfect with 18 knots and (almost) flat water.
The kite is very stable and reassuring, and I found it very responsive when steering. As a reminder, I weigh 68kg for 1.73m.
My modest level does not allow me a detailed technical analysis of the kite but I felt perfectly at ease, throughout the session, with a response that completely met my expectations on such a kite (jumps, loops, upwind…)
I will hopefully complete this feedback with a new session quickly (and the test of the Ayto 9m)”
Thanks to the GONG teams and brother Mat Lemaitre for this
great time in the warm, turquoise waters of Ville de Notre Dame de Monts”
