Description

The North Reach is a lively and playful all-round performer with unparalleled versatility and wind range for big jumps, upwind performance and effortless relaunch.

Lively and playful, this 3-strut allrounder has unparalleled versatility and wind range. Easy jumps. Upwind performance. Effortless relaunch. For 2025 the Reach is playful and smoother flying with more direct steering and dynamic recovery.

Nimble and easy to ride, but now with a slightly higher aspect ratio and smoother, more aerodynamic shape that’s even more stable in kite loops, the Reach is your go-to kite in all conditions.

The lightweight and durable construction, powered by a new N-Max2 airframe, excels in light wind and surf. The short responsive bridle provides quick, exponential depower, while its fast, responsive steering and efficient power delivery give rise to confident boosts, freeride and freestyle.

In the four larger sizes, the Reach is a fast-flying lightwind kite designed with a consistent drive forward for TwinTip riding - long after everyone else has gone in.

All conditions. All purpose. All ways ready. The Reach Performance Freeride is the one kite you'll always reach for.

Big Hangtime:

Open arc design for boosts and loops with a reliable catch.

Lightwind Optimised:

Stable and balanced fuller profile delivers power and efficiency in every condition.

Quick Responsive Turning:

Designed with light bar pressure and steering impulse for a fast response with tight turning radius.

Confident Relaunch:

Moderate LE Diameter and swept design provides additional buoyancy and helps the kite to release quickly from the water, even in the lightest conditions.

Features

Technology

N-Max 2 Pro Material Airframe:

A durable and lightweight airframe material. The multi-layer longitudinal weave improves consistency and tear strength and has greater bias elongation for more dynamic steering.

Smooth, Reliable Catch:

Superb loft and hangtime with a compact steering radius, thanks to its medium-high aspect ratio design with wider wing-tip and well-balanced bridle.

Direct and Responsive Steering:

Tactile handling with light bar pressure for a fast response and tight turning radius. Refined bridle tuning gives the Reach quick, exponential depower, in an even wider range of conditions.

Massive Wind Range and Upwind Drive:

A precise, draft-forward profile for efficient aerodynamic profile entry. The single profile transition panel reduces the number of seams, creating a smooth transition from LE to canopy.

Duralite Seam Protection:

Lightweight Duralite reinforcement patches create a durable buffer along the LE seams, protecting the stitching from chafing and abrasion.

Improved Low End and Depower:

A slightly increased aspect ratio (0.15%), more sweep, refined bridle positioning, and lighter-weight materials give the kite a surprisingly light bar pressure, fast turning speed and balance.

High Quality Bridle Lines:

Our precise low-profile, low-drag, no-pulley bridle lines are pre-loaded and measured before cutting to improve accuracy and consistency, reduce shrinkage and elongation, and aid longevity.

Segmented Curve Arc:

The Reach arc shape allows tension to transition evenly through the canopy, as you would see in a catenary shape in nature.

Easy Relaunch:

The kite’s moderate leading-edge diameter provides additional buoyancy, helping the kite release quickly from the water in even the lightest conditions.

Excellent Drift:

The Reach is your go-to kite for foiling and wave riding. It has well-balanced tactile surf handling, quick responsive steering, neutral static balance, and excellent drift.

Progressive Freestyle AR:

The medium-high aspect ratio and powerful profile helps generate line slack for handle passes - simply load up, edge hard and pop off the water for easy freestyle progression.

Kevlar Reinforced Strut System:

For the most accurate and durable connection between the strut and the leading edge, bridle deflectors on the leading edge prevent the control lines from catching on the struts.

Hyperflow Rapid Inflation System:

Ergonomic high-volume single point inflation system with large diameter hose for rapid inflation and deflation. The bayonet-style main valve is compatible with most pumps without an adaptor.

Control Bar

North Navigator Control Bar System

Release and reload faster with the intuitive single-action reload Connect Quick Release, and change quickly between disciplines with the Toolless Interloop, our no-tools required modular harness loop replacement system. T

The Navigator Control System raises the bar in kite safety, connecting you intuitively to your kite so you can think less and feel more. North have taken premium leading technology materials and applied simplified ergonomic design for precise performance with ease and comfort. Sensing your kite's position just became second nature.

Single Action Reload:

Connect Quick Release with intuitive single action reload raises the bar in kite control system safety. The red Quick Release handle has been ergonomically designed to fit in your hand comfortably for an industry standard push away release.

Toolless Interloop:

Push, twist, pull, lock and go. Our Toolless InterLoop makes the customer experience effortless when swapping between disciplines.

Tactile Offset Finger Bar:

For an ergonomic grip and intuitve feel when the control bar is orientated correctly.

Low Friction Co-Efficient Materials:

All loaded or running surfaces feature highly polished 316 stainless steel and low-friction components to enable fast, safe releases in a wide range of conditions.

Integrated Retractable Line Winder Bungee:

Prevents tangled lines when packed up. Bungee retracts out of the way when not in use.

Leader Line PU Tubing Covers:

To help prevent line abrasion from uncovered lines against your skin, while colour-coded PU tubing covers where the leaders come out of the float help them remain rigid and out of the way when the flying lines aren't under tension.

Cleated Trim System:

Provides industry proven depower on demand.

Kook-Proof Line Connectors:

Ensure you always set up your lines correctly. Designed to be exactly the same length so you can easily change the front (knotted end) and rear (larks head loop) connectors to match most other manufacturers kite configurations.

Optimised TPU Material:

For flex and durability.

Colour Coded Components:

Grip, leader tubing and line retainer pull tabs give a nod to our sailing heritage, port (red) and starboard (green).

Injection Molded Soft EVA Bar Ends:

Ensure nothing hard comes in touch with you or your board, and contain rear line adjustment.
