No need to choose between power, precision, hangtime, responsiveness, or drift—the Vertigo combines everything that makes it all click in kitesurfing!
A versatility pushed to a very high level of performance is what sets the Vertigo apart from all other kites. Starting from a strong freestyle/twintip base that delivers immense power and hangtime for executing solid tricks, its shape has been subtly optimized to bring out the qualities that make for epic surf kite sessions, with drift, responsiveness, and ultra-precise bar control.

Extreme Versatility
Switching from twintip to surfing, even to freestyle foiling sessions, or unhooked wakestyle moves—all that is possible with the Vertigo.
This 3-strut kite, which is both rigid, light, and responsive, is incredibly smooth. Its handling is soft and fast thanks to a shape that really glides. There is no resistance felt—it’s super pleasant.
Yet, it still delivers the power needed for twintip riding and for sending big jumps. The bar feedback is clear, and the actions are sharp, providing more radical performance.

One of the specific features of the Vertigo is its relatively large surface area tips with almost no internal twist. This design results in maneuverability that relies more on surface area than on the closing of the tip, allowing the kite to maintain a lot of speed through turns. A delight for both freestyle and wave riding.

Freestyle, Foil, and Surf!
Choosing the Vertigo means opening all doors in kitesurfing. Depending on the conditions, you can choose one board over another with the certainty that you have a kite in your hands that will allow you to push hard. That’s exactly what the Vertigo is about—versatility with a very high level of performance. As illustrated, for example, by Francesco's victory on the Italian Wave Tour earlier this year.
