North Kites

North kites have a strong following in the big air scene, and the Orbit is the reason why. It is a five-strut design built for boosting and hangtime, and the Orbit Ultra takes it further with an Aluula Core airframe that cuts significant weight for higher jumps and faster steering.

The Reach is the three-strut performance freeride option, lighter and more manoeuvrable, suiting riders who want an easy kite that still performs. The Carve is North's wave kite, built for drift and predictable behaviour in surf.

North kites pair with the Navigator control bar. If you are coming from another brand, sizing translates fairly directly, though the Orbit tends to feel powerful for its size.
