High-End Performance Bridle
The Kevlar lines have a special UV Protec coating to increase UV
resistance and dirt and water resistance. In addition, they have
excellent resilience, good resistance to kinking and bending and
very good splice properties.
integrated Fiberglass Rods
The flexible fiberglass rods are matched to the wing depth and
sewn into pockets. They can be reordered and exchanged per kit
size. After a hard crash, FLYSURFER recommends checking the
bags and rods for damage.
Maintenance
The VMG does not have a mixer, it is recommended to check the
bar setup regularly before the competition. FLYSURFER recom-
mends shortening the back lines of all sizes up to 5cm.
LCL & ADS
The Little Connection Lines (LCL) serve as a predetermined
breaking point, can be used to trim the bridle and facilitate the
exchange of individual lines. The automatic drainage system
(ADS) is an important component for the self-rescue and the
water relaunch.
Two Level Design (A, B)
The first competition kite with a two-level bridle design in the
history of kite sports. The low-stretch Edelrid Kevlar-bridle
reduces drag to a minimum and activates the VMG‘s incredible
upwind performance. The innovative kite changes its angle of
attack in a highly efficient manner in contrast to the conventio-
nal change of the profile camber over the Z level. The result: the
best angle at maximum speed on the racetrack.
Rigid Airfoil
The 2-level design requires a particularly rigid wing to perfectly
support the reduced scale. The top sail of the VMG is additionally
reinforced by glass fiber rods integrated into the rib construc-
tion. The rods are protected at the ends and can be exchanged.
The VMG hardly deforms, the flow is clean and it has a high level
of calm in the air, which constantly instills confidence to push
the limit.
Speed mode
The VMG is controlled by a pulley on each wing side and has no
mixer, the feeling is unique. The holding forces increase conti-
nuously with the force development of the kite, which enables
particularly precise feedback at the bar, as if you had the entire
surface of the kite in your hand. The profile only changes its ang-
le of attack and gives you access to an enormous wind range, the
ratio of power to depower is phenomenal.
High Performance Construction (HPC)
The VMG gets a special material mix: Inelastic Skytex32 on the
leading edge, proven X-Light top and bottom sail as the best
combination of weight and robustness and to support the inner
structure, TX-Light hard finish rib material. The use of these high
quality materials enables a very rigid wing and particularly low
deformation from the center to the wing tips. The bridle lines
therefore change very homogeneously, which has a positive ef-
fect on the stretching and shrinking of the construction, and the
maintenance time is significantly reduced.
02.01 Description & rider requirements
The VMG is specially designed for the requirements of Hydrofoil-Racing competitions. Developed with the technological know-how
of our R&D team and the intense experience of our athletes. The new profile, the line geometry and FLYSURFER‘s innovative Speed
Mode, which makes it possible to control the angle of attack in turbulent air at high speeds, make the VMG undisputedly the most
potent race-competition kite available!
