The Vegas is a powerful kite with unprecedented ease of control. Never before has power been so easy to handle!

The Vegas combines the power and hangtime of a high performance kite with the easy handling and soft feel of an intermediate kite. These outstanding qualities together with its fast turning speed make it a perfect kite for technical new school maneuvers and waveriding. Due to its wide depower range and smooth development of power the Vegas is very forgiving, even in radical conditions.

The Vegas is the perfect kite for lighter weight riders and for those who like to be powered up but not overpowered.

The Vegas strengths lie exactly in those areas where many riders are overly challenged by ultra-high performance kites: powerfull kite, easy to control, combination of high performance and intermediate kite, new school and wave riding kite, wide depower, smooth power development, perfect kite for 80% of all kiters.

Many features pioneered by North, such as the use of Dacron (stabilized woven polyester) in a segmented leading edge, have become the standard in high quality kites. We have continued this tradition by reinforcing the canopy only in key areas to avoid unnecessary weight. Nevertheless, our new kites are now more resistant to damage from crashes and abuse and the panels are easier to replace, which simplifies repair work. Key reinforcements can be found spanwise at the leading edge of the canopy and chordwise between the ribs and the canopy.

Ballistic Snakeskin is twice as tear proof as conventional Tejen material!

The tip of a kite tends to operate at low and changing angles of attack. The result is that kites often look nervous in the air, with the tips wobbling from side to side. Part of our solution to this problem is the patent-based Reflex Tip -- an elongated s-shaped profile. In this profile, the trailing edge is designed to deflect airflow in such a way as to slightly increase and stabilize the angle of attack of the entire profile. The desired Reflex Tip shape is controlled and maintained through the use of Carbon Reflex Tip Battens and Reflex Hexribs.

Our Fusion Rib Joints not only ensure the kite's high rigidity and stability, but also help keep the entire canopy smooth and eliminate flat spots.

Dump valves in the tips permit the rider to roll the kite up from one end to the other.

The leading edge is composed of conical segments for a precise distribution of stresses that enhances the kite¹s durability. The main seam is tucked away behind the leading edge for protection.

Optional points of attachment at the ends of North kites offer the opportunity to attach the back lines closer to the front lines. This reduces the kite¹s speed and agility. Ideal for beginners practicing with small kite sizes or for wake style.

These loops attached to the inside of the wingtips make it easier to hold the kite for bodydrag rescue.

Hexagonally modeled ribs provide lower drag, greater rigidity and better fidelity to design than any other rib.

Prevents the number one cause of kite accidents by ensuring that front lines can¹t be attached to the back of the kite and back lines can¹t be attached to the front.

The low-drag solution to tip stability and control, the tip batten keeps the tips from folding in turns and gives the Rhino precise turning response.
