After a successful factory inspection, the new Flysurfer VMG2 kite has been approved by the IKA Technical Committee as registered series production equipment for the IKA Formula Kite Class. This is important because the VMG2 kites will now be evaluated in competition until the end of 2021, when World Sailing will license the 2024 Olympic equipment through a separate agreement with the successful manufacturers.

The FLYSURFER VMG2 is the world’s first Two-Level foil kite with a supported profile technology.
The canopy is normally supported by three bridle levels and brake lines that are attached to the trailing edge. The complex bridle line system is controlled by several pulleys to change the profile’s camber and angle of attack. The VMG2 only changes the angle of attack and uses a constantly cambered profile supported by glass fibre rods to generate an efficient airfoil.
