QUAD CONTROL


North's new Quad control bar also comes equipped with the new Iron Heart III. The front line safety system works similar to a 5th Element by allowing the kite to fall to the water and lay de-powered on it’s back in perfect re-launch position. Although reliable in most situations, it does not offer the same level of safety of the 5th Element system. Learn More

NO GAMBLING.
NEITHER WITH STYLE - NOR WITH PERFORMANCE

The 2010 Vegas is a classic C-shape with a pure C feel and massive pop for radical new-school freestyle. Building on the best points of the ’08 and ’09, the ‘10 Vegas has the classic feel you’ve come to expect from one of the world’s most popular freestyle kites with added benefits.
Designed specifically for freestyle riding, no compromises were made towards developing a kite with the performance potential necessary for tackling today’s most technical new-school tricks. Further development of the 5th element system, allowed us to develop a true C kite with great stability and rock-solid power, combined with maximum safety and de-power abilities. Reduced canopy segments and special construction translates into smooth, intuitive and playful turning characteristics that are easily recognized in kite loops where the kite climbs back up overhead for controlled landings. Our most homogenous Vegas line ever. All sizes offer an incredibly similar feeling in both turning speed and bar load, requiring nearly no adjustment time when switching kite sizes.

Two trim options allow you to set up your Vegas in either “Classic” or “New-school” modes. Classic freestyle mode provides high de-power and gives you the most versatile range for doing big jumps, un-hooked freestyle and even venturing into the surf. New-school mode gives you less de-power, extreme stability while unhooking and less sensitive bar reaction for doing loaded power moves. Simply put, the Vegas is the ultimate freestyle kite with explosive pop to elevate your riding to new levels and to refine your style.
Vegas, we play the music!

AGAIN ONE STEP AHEADM


Still one step ahead, the fifth edition of our tried and tested 5th Element Bar is possibly the most effective and trustworthy safety system on the market.

The Iron Heart III requires minimal release forces and is not affected by harsh sand and saltwater conditions. The double de-power line in combination with the Sliding Stopper and Stopper Ball ensures that the bar is always where you want it to be in all situations. Our small, lightweight Vario Cleat allows you to quickly and easily adjust it to your desired de-power stroke while the system automatically trims your lines to the perfect length. If the dangling trim line has ever interfered with your flow in the past, you can now forget about it focus on your riding: Simply Velcro the dangling portion to the stopper ball so it’s never in your way. The Micro Loop is no longer an integrated feature, but for those who like the comfort of riding with fixed power, the system can quickly and easily be fitted. Learn More
