The Display and the Vertigo are among the most popular kites in our Perf Series. Although they share a high level of versatility, their personalities are very different:

Display: the queen of progression. Powerful, easy, and stable.
Vertigo: the queen of freeride across a wide range.

Vertigo: the dynamic kite for powerful riding with control and responsiveness

The Vertigo is a playful kite designed for riders who want a lively, perfectly balanced kite capable of handling a more demanding program.
