Amazing kite! I had a chance to try it and also to interview few pro riders after the session. Some of them did their first double loops with Vortex and everyone were amazed by ease of doing loops and responsiveness. Also, few of the riders broke their PR records in the jump heights. So what to say guys - you have to try it to believe it! 😃🤙🏽
Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Vortex! We're stoked to hear about the first double loops and record-breaking jumps! Looking forward to seeing you guys ripping it!
I tested both 8m Edge v12 and Vortex 8m. Overall the vortex is easier to make tricks, his catch on heliloops and zenith is better, faster reactive turning and less bar pressure compared with EDGE. Vortex recovers faster after a kiteloop. Edge v12 has a bit more hangtime, end feels more confortable when riding fully overpowered. But I managend to make my tricks landed easier with the vortex due to his catch and faster stearing you can easily fix a kite position mistake juts before landing. The Vortex is a more allrounded and can do better than the edge in different styles. I also like the vortex for strapless freeestyle. For Foiling i thing the Vortex will be better because its ligther and faster and goes faster foward. I love both kites and now I have a problem, witch one I take for a session :P
Hello great review. I will use it for foiling and we normally like to go fast for long distance normally go out and do between 60 kms or 100 kms. it goes as fast as the Edge on free riding Foil. And also how is the bar pressure compare with the Evo Dlab or other kites with soft bar pressures.
Why is there no 12m kite and bigger ? These Aluula kites are really good in light wind, with bigger kite size flying in no wind. Will you produce a specific light wind kite using Aluula ?
Hi, we love the Edge and we are very happy you use it. The Edge takes people to the moon and the Vortex will help a huge number of riders improve their performance levels. If you are happy with the Edge, you should then try the Vortex... We are working on presenting the comparisons in the rage, more information coming soon.
@@DavidTonijuan A love the Edge, I was comparing specifications and it seams that Vortex needs a bit more wind than the Edge (comparing size x size). Why not make a Vortex 12 that can be compared to a Edge 11 or even a 10?
The question is, has it gotten the easily accessible hang-time? Big air Aluula kites seems to lack that (usually needs to fly actively), that would be a huge differentiator.
all aluula kites should have a special section dedicated to foil and light wind relaunch. as a big air foil rider i want a kite that jumps over 30mt, does doubles but also that is able to roll in the water and fly again in 6-7 knots. with such high aspect it could be a problem
Foil + Big Air (jumps) + Loops kind of cancel each other out.. For foil you need a kite that can fly without producing a lot of power and for big jumps you need a high aspect all panels hit the wind kite and for loops you need a quick turning direct steering kinda low aspect but can take you decently high kite. That’s why triples on a XR Pro are garbage because the kite produces too much power & doesn’t turn super easily through the wind and is bad for foiling as well. It’s a bow kite Only kite that would fit into your description is maybe a Evo Dlab as it’s 3 strut, not super much power & kinda fast turning kite Will still pull you off a foil as it gets too much power It’s like wanting a roadbike for going down the mountain trails super fast - you can’t fit every aspect into a kite
@@candelalux1403some kites do fit it. Evo dlab is an example, new slingshot code aluula could be another one. 90% of today users do bigair and foil on light wind days so nothing strange. About the pull is not a problem, to jump high with the foil I am getting used to go out in 25/27 knots with my 9 and foil
and if possible I would also be interested in a comparison with the Edge in terms of upwind ability, this Vortex is an amazing step in the future, but maybe it's a little less high aspect than the Edge, so for kiters most interested to performance freeride which is the most appropriate, as upwind riding, and taking advantage of apparent wind building?
Don't sound like a car salesman, yet sounds like every new kite manufacturer mouthpiece that has a new kite... 🙈 Compere it to something..... An older ozone, if you're afraid of upsetting other brands.... Only better addition is the 16 point system = less movement / mishaping of the kite under load, ie when looping = less lift/ air volume dump? Ie more air time/ float... If im committed to a brand... You gotta convince me to come over.....
We are currently working on new videos to compare the Vortex with kites like the Enduro and the Edge, providing you with an idea of where this kite fits within the range and what it has to offer compared to the other kites.
I was not interested in this kite at all, then Jesse did his sales pitch ... oh man, I want this so bad now.
🤣Same for me...I need this in my life right now....
Interesting move from Ozone, loved to hear about the 16 point connection points with no pulleys, proper big air kite! 👏

Seems like a really cool kite, great job! I wonder if Jamie will be riding this...
Thanks! Hope you can try one soon! Yes, Jamie has been riding prototypes of this model for the last few months!

sounds good 👌 👍 👌

Hi, the 12m and 13m are coming soon!
I use Edge's can you compare the Vortex to the Edge in terms of big air and hang time.

There will be bigger sizes coming soon too ;) @@epra4918
I tested it yesterday with sized 9m. But I'm curious.what size recommended to do double loops to try?
The question is, has it gotten the easily accessible hang-time? Big air Aluula kites seems to lack that (usually needs to fly actively), that would be a huge differentiator.
Jesse, you da man......... How does it hold up in the waves on a surf board? Is it comfortable?
I wanna see the catch!
Looks good
So many aluula kites now on the market, one new is welcome 😂
What a very American way of sales pitching. As an European I don't trust too much what Jesse said. Too artificial.

Hmmm...now wondering about my recent Evo Dlab purchases....buyers remorse🤣
Shut up and take my money 🔥
hahaha! 😂Contact your local dealer!

After testing the edge this week, I'm more pumped for this kite. Can see why it's coming
@@undertowsurf Edge is a milestone 🔝💪🏻
Everyone loved the boost / float of Edge , though is on the slower side for turns. Imagine a souped up edge, and here we go.
Is this really Jesse?? Where is the tache haha
Noticed the wingtips are collapsing and pivots so much on the doubles
It is fast and powerful yes but it doesn't collapse. The bridles are ultra supportive.
Ok might have been a proto then , anyways nice looking kite
noticed the same, doesn’t look really good during the loops!

$3,100 plus tax and shipping eh- that’s where we are now?
