Lighter in handling and snappier in response and turning than the Edge, the Vortex accelerates around the tips, turning very consistently without any pause in flight. If you are absolutely dedicated to big air and are a kite loop specialist, the Vortex will help you reach the next dimension. Jump to jaw-dropping heights and then perform kite loop combinations with confidence, knowing the Vortex will move to catch you every time. For those looking for extreme performance, the Vortex always provides intuitive feedback of kite position through the bar and is tuned to continue guiding you, even accelerating through a second kite loop. Thanks to its super responsive handling and light weight, the Vortex can be moved with great agility around the window to generate power without tiring your arms. If you have good kiting skills, the Vortex is simply very intuitive. The control is superb, you will also be impressed by the range of each size. If you're starting to get comfortable with kite loops, the Vortex's performance and turning speed are the ideal place to start. We have been working and testing Aluula on various kite and wing prototypes for three years. Being able to combine materials to achieve combined performance and reliable strength without compromising any aspect of build quality is always a top priority, and a reason why our regular customers place their trust in our products. For the Vortex we chose to use our robust triple-ripstop fabric with an Aluula leading edge. Aluula's incredible strength, stiffness and lightweight qualities have helped improve handling, particularly in performance at low levels and when climbing out of the window, when handling for power and lift is key. The increased rigidity of Aluula materials helps maintain the Vortex's designed shape under heavy loads and extreme conditions, for optimal handling and long-lasting performance; this last aspect is always a crucial part of the design of any of our products.
