Kite Features

Can be easily used in a wide range of wind speeds. It has incredible depower. The power is delivered smoothly thanks to the refined shaping and LE stabilizers. The leading edge of the kite is supported by an advanced five-line system.
Kite Overview
Since the Vapor model was such a big hit it only made sense that they would tweak and improve it. The Vapor II is based on the Vapor design just that it is considerably better. It has high performance steering of a C-style kite has been maintained and the wide wind range and static depower of bridled kites. The Vapor II takes safety very seriously. The flat 5 kite configuration with an advanced five-line system makes for a very secure kite. Not to mention one that has great depower and performance. It is great for all kitesurfers regardless of their skill level.

Control Bar

Overview An advanced five-line system is supported by the control bar. This system supports the kite’s leading edge. This translates into a safer kite that maintains all its performance and depower. The center union rivet is so well made that it will take a road roller to break it. This makes steering and sheeting a piece of cake. You will not feel like you are battling the elements you will feel like you’ve done this a million times before. Features For easy adjustment there is an “on the fly” stopper ball. The cleat bar system features depower adjustment on the trigger-release housing. Converting it into a strap-adjust power system is fairly easy.

The Vapor 2 was top notch back in 2008 and 2009. Compared with the newer kite models it is a bit slower and not so easy to maneuver, but it is still a good kite. It has a huge wind range and nice depower and relaunch. The good thing about it is that... read more

Just got my hands on a Vapor 2. The good thing about it is that it can be used in pretty much any wind range and it is quite stable. It has excellent control and offers nice power and speed. It is a five lines kite and it took me a while to set it up... read more
