North has a wide range of kites for kitesurfers of all levels and riding styles. At Kitemana, we have all North kites in stock. We have also personally tested all North kites, so you can always ask us for advice on which kite or size suits you best. Below, you will find a brief description of all North kites, with a link to the full product description on our website.

North Orbit Kite
The North Orbit is without a doubt North's best-selling kite. The Orbit is known as one of the fastest 5-strut kites on the market and is designed to send you through the air and higher than ever. Jesse Richman won the King of the Air 2020 title with the North Orbit, while Nick Jacobsen took second place. The North Orbit is a fast five-strut kite that delivers incredible lift while allowing you to throw powerful kiteloops. Thanks to its five-strut profile, the Orbit has excellent high-end performance, allowing it to keep performing no matter how strong the wind gets. The Orbit also makes it easy to ride upwind. It is highly suitable for freeride as well, thanks to its reliable yet forgiving character. For riders looking for extra performance, North designed the North Orbit Pro Kite. The North Orbit is flown on four lines.

North Reach Kite
The North Reach is North Kiteboarding's all-rounder and is perfect for beginners. The North Reach is suitable for all skill levels and riding styles. Whether you want to hydrofoil, wave ride, freestyle, throw kiteloops or enjoy a relaxed freeride session, the North Reach is a perfect choice. Beginners will quickly feel comfortable with the North Reach thanks to its friendly and forgiving character. The kite rides upwind easily and helps you perfect your water start as quickly as possible. Advanced riders will also have plenty of fun with this kite. From backrolls to kiteloops, the Reach can do it all! High jumps, excellent upwind performance and effortless relaunch make this kite the perfect all-rounder.

North Pulse Kite
The North Pulse is a playful three-strut kite suitable for versatile freeride and freestyle kitesurfers. The Pulse turns quickly and delivers great pop with plenty of slack for unhooked freestyle tricks. If you want to learn kiteloops or take them higher, the Pulse is also an excellent choice. For North freestyle kitesurfers, the Pulse is a firm favourite. The North Pulse is flown on four lines and features a pulley-free bridle system.

North Carve Kite
For wave riders, there is the North Carve. The Carve performs at its best in the waves, but it is also a very user-friendly kite for beginners. The Carve has excellent depower, which is useful when surfing a wave as well as when you are just starting out. In the waves, the Carve offers excellent drift and turns quickly, allowing you to get the most out of the kite while surfing a wave. The Carve has three struts and is flown on four lines. It features a pulley-free bridle system for direct steering response.

North Code Zero Kite
The North Code Zero is designed for light-wind kitesurfing. The kite has a single-strut design, which saves a significant amount of weight. Thanks to its low weight, the kite flies in even the slightest breeze, allowing you to cruise across the water in light winds with a foil or even a twintip. The kite is very stable for a single-strut kite and has light bar pressure. The pulley-free bridles provide the most direct feel at the bar, so you always know exactly where the kite is positioned in the wind window. The North Code Zero is flown on four lines.

``` A good kite is not something you simply put together. It requires an extensive design process. When developing and designing a kitesurf kite, North uses the latest technologies and innovations in airflow, aerodynamics and kite panel layout. Below, we have described the most important technologies used in North kites.

N-u80: North's new frame material
With N-u80, North has developed its own frame material together with its textile division, North Advanced Textiles. It is woven from 100% Ultra PE, a fibre that is five times stronger than polyester at the same weight. Only the inside features a PET lining with cross-laid Technora reinforcement. This makes the frame stiff in the longitudinal direction while allowing it to twist in a controlled way. What does that mean on the water? Because the material is so strong, North can make the leading edge and struts slimmer. The kite becomes lighter and creates less aerodynamic drag. It turns faster, responds more quickly to bar input and provides more direct feedback. This results in faster kiteloops, higher boosts and a wider wind range. N-u80 is also more resistant to UV exposure, tearing, creasing and wear. N-u80 debuted in the Orbit Ultra, the big air kite from North's Ultra series.

North Pro Series
North Kiteboarding introduced the Pro Series to distinguish its high-performance products. Products in the Pro Series are made using the best materials and technologies, ensuring top-level performance.

North Profile Transition Panels
North kites feature an additional fabric panel connected to the leading edge. This extra panel creates a more gradual and smoother profile at the front of the kite. In other words, the curvature is smoother. This gives North kites an extremely streamlined shape, reducing turbulence and making the kites highly stable in the air while providing a solid feel at the bar.

North Two-stage Arc Design
The flattened two-stage arc design of North kites gives them a very rounded shape in the centre of the kite, where the power is generated. At the tips, North kites are straighter for a more dynamic steering feel. The curvature of the arc differs between the various kite models, including the Orbit, Pulse and Carve.

North No Pulley Bridle
North bridles are simple and do not use pulleys. This results in less wear and therefore a lower risk of your lines breaking. Because the bridles do not have pulleys, you get a more direct connection with the kite, making it feel more responsive and allowing you to better sense where the kite is positioned in the wind window.

Teijin Techno Force D2 fabric
The fabric used in North kites is Teijin D2 ripstop fabric. Over the years, this kite fabric has proven itself in terms of durability and weight. It is manufactured by Teijin in Japan according to the highest possible quality standards.
