The explosive pop, powerful fast turns and responsive steering of our high-performance Hybrid-C kite will set your heart pumping. The Pulse comes alive in unhooked Freestyle, and makes landing even the most technical tricks instinctive. Its upright, low sweep design ensures the twist introduced by the steering impulse goes much deeper into the centre of the kite, so it turns throughout the entire canopy and the power delivery is constant through the entire loop. The leaner profile entry and slightly higher aspect ratio of the Pulse makes it efficient and smooth-handling, especially in extreme overpowered conditions. Featuring lighter weight N-FORCE 75 heavy duty canopy reinforcement material for a durable, faster-flying kite with increased performance and lift, drive through the kite loop, better recovery and improved slack line and pop. And introducing new lighter weight bladders in sizes 10m and above. The Pulse is the ultimate in performance freestyle, with impressive freeride capabilities for super-high boosts and kite-loops.

Predictable and versatile, the Triad has had some big upgrades this year. The kite is not only perfect for taking your twin tip riding up a level, but it now excels in all types of surf riding. The wingtip shape has been redesigned to increase drift and down the line performance. The kite has been swept back to increase turning speed and lighten the bar pressure. With a lower aspect ratio, the Triad is faster and lighter, making it perfect for navigating tricky sections in the waves, but maintains its predictable flying characteristics, promoting progression in all disciplines. The Triad maintains its sheet in and go performance due to its luff strut and fairly deep draft, making it an easy kite to progress from beginner to higher level riding. We have redesigned the dacron structure of the kite to strategically place reinforcements only where needed, increasing strength and decreasing overall weight. This multifaceted kite merges ease of use, surf performance, and light responsive bar feel into one intuitive package.

PERFORMANCE FREERIDE
All-round performance and versatility in a huge range of conditions will spark your motivation to push your progression and go for bigger jumps.
We completely redesigned the Spark and newly calculated its lift distribution leading to a more sportive behavior. A slightly wider but flatter wing tip reduces bar pressure and increases the Spark’s turning speed, which leads to a very agile handling.
In order to stabilize the tips during fast turns and small radius loops, the side strut was moved slightly towards the tip.
The flatter leading edge bending curve design in the center improves the Spark’s performance, especially on upwind tacks.
With the addition of the Spark 15 LW and 17 LW you’ll be able to utilize the stable flying characteristics, controllability, power and great hang time in a wider range of conditions.
The Spark combines easy jumping, low bar pressure and control with power, great lift and sportive handling, which allows you to enjoy its outstanding versatility in a huge wind range.

Committing to overpowered airs and megaloops in gusty conditions demands an unwavering trust in your kite. Our iconic premier 5-strut kite delivers incredible top-end control and allows you to hold down more power than any other kite per square metre. Big jumps. Big hang time. Big wind range. The Orbit rockets you upwind fast, with effortless steering, extreme boosting and hangtime guaranteed to take your breath away. Without changing the DNA of the kite, we've engineered it to feel smoother, lighter, faster, and even more predictable in the unpredictable. At North, we understand what riders want in a performance, big air kite. For 2023 the Orbit feels even more responsive in all conditions. We've made small structural refinements to smooth out the canopy, optimizing the profile for less drag, faster forward speed and smoother turning. Slightly refined bridling means the kite feels more stable and forgiving in overpowered, gusty conditions yet retains its ability to fly forward and catch you in kite loops. We've reduced the kite's overall weight with lighter bladders in larger sizes and introduced a new 2-ply canopy material reinforcement on the trailing edge. The lighter the kite, the faster the steering, the more lift it creates, and the higher you jump. We've constructed the leading edge and struts in our lighter N-Dure Dacron to save significantly more weight without compromising strength or durability. We've also introduced two additional bar pressure options so you can choose from a lighter, more forgiving feeling in cruise mode, right through to ultra-direct steering with shorter depower travel in megaloop mode. This new fourth setting gives you the confidence to loop the kite even lower. It is ideal for heavier riders on smaller kites and boosts wingtip support on those crazy 40knot + days. Tested by nature, proven on the podium. The Orbit has your back when the rules of gravity don't apply.

"This is the kite I’ll reach for when I’m not really sure what the day will bring. It's almost like four kites in one." - Jalou Langeree
Time and tide wait for no-one
What are you willing to reach for? The 2021 Reach has no boundaries. Lively and playful, this 3-strut allrounder has unparalleled versatility and wind range. Big jumps. Upwind performance. Effortless relaunch. Its even lighter construction excels in lightwind, foil and surf, without compromising the kite’s durability. Its snappy, responsive steering and power delivery give rise to great boosts, loops and freestyle moves. Your go-to kite in all conditions. The Reach is nimble and easy to ride, with high-performance attributes that guarantee you’ll never grow out of it. Its fuller profile generates power and efficiency, while its 3-strut construction delivers quick, responsive steering in even the lightest wind. In the three larger sizes, the Reach is a powerful lightwind kite designed with a predictable, consistent drive forward for TwinTip riding long after everyone else has gone in. For 2021 we’ve introduced new highest quality low-profile, low-elongation bridle lines for an even more direct response. We’ve adopted lighter weight bladders across all sizes in the range, refined the shape and retuned the short responsive bridle for quick, exponential depower, so you can fly faster, and more efficiently, in an even wider range of conditions. This is the one kite you’ll always reach for.
Boosts and loops with a smooth reliable catch
The Reach has superb loft and hangtime with a compact steering radius and smooth, consistent catch, thanks to its medium aspect ratio design with wider wing-tip and well-balanced bridle.
Incredible stability for foil and lightwind
Boasting predictable, consistent power delivery in every condition, the Reach has exceptional performance at the low-end - especially at slower speeds in lighter wind.
Well-balanced tactile surf handling
Quick responsive steering and neutral static balance helps you fire up your performance in the surf, without any surprises. The Reach drifts well and doesn’t stall - making it your go-to kite for foiling and wave-riding.
DETAILS
NEW HIGHEST QUALITY SHORT RESPONSIVE BRIDLE
Our new low-profile, pre-stretched bridle lines are pre-loaded and measured before cutting to improve accuracy and consistency. This results in reduced shrinkage, reduced elongation and improved longevity. Removing ALL pulleys from the bridle improves safety and gives the kite direct and precise handling. The end result is lower drag, more accuracy and a more direct feeling. New tuning of the short responsive bridle gives the Reach quick, exponential depower, allowing you to ride it in an even wider range of conditions.
NEW LIGHTWEIGHT BLADDERS IN EVERY SIZE
Lighter weight bladders have now been adopted into every size in the range. This additional weight reduction helps the new 2021 Reach fly more efficiently, and improves performance in lighter winds.
NEW LIGHTER WEIGHT CONSTRUCTION
Perfect for foiling and lightwind twintip riding, the Reach has a stable and balanced fuller profile for predictable, consistent power delivery in every condition, and exceptional performance at the low-end. The lightest kite in our range, the Reach’s lighter weight 3-strut construction and more powerful draft-forward profile helps you get up and going in light wind conditions. NEW reduced construction weight helps the 2021 Reach fly more efficiently with even better performance in lighter winds. We’ve kept the weight down for optimal steering and performance without compromising strength or durability, using a small two-ply of canopy along the trailing edge instead of heavier Dacron materials. In the larger sizes we’ve also used a lighter dacron in all of the leading edges and struts.
BOOSTS AND LOOPS WITH A SMOOTH RELIABLE CATCH
The Reach has superb loft and hangtime with a compact steering radius, thanks to its medium aspect ratio design with wider wing-tip and well-balanced bridle. During a loop, many kites will pause before they climb back up, but the Reach has a smooth, consistent catch and doesn’t hesitate to come back around.
MASSIVE WINDRANGE AND UPWIND DRIVE
A powerful draft-forward profile, in combination with optimised profile transition panels, give the Reach a very smooth and efficient profile entry and upwind drive.
INCREDIBLY POWERFUL AND EFFICIENT
The Reach has a slightly higher aspect ratio design for superb loft and hangtime, while its wider wing-tip and well-balanced bridle help to maintain a compact steering radius, ideal for kite-looping. During kiteloops the Reach has a smooth, consistent catch and doesn’t hesitate to come back around.
DIRECT AND RESPONSIVE STEERING
Tactile handling with light bar pressure and steering impulse for a fast response and tight turning radius. The quick responsive steering and neutral static balance help you fire up your performance in the surf, without any surprises. The Reach drifts well and doesn’t fall over, front-stall or back-stall. The bar pressure and steering impulse can be adjusted on the wing tip, allowing you to fine tune the kite's characteristics to your personal preference.
CONFIDENT RELAUNCH WITH SWEPT DESIGN
The moderate leading edge diameter medium high aspect design allows more area in the centre of the kite for efficiency and provides additional buoyancy, helping the kite to release quickly from the water in even the lightest conditions.
PRECISE DRAFT-FORWARD PROFILE
The draft-forward profile, in combination with optimised profile transition panels, give the Reach a very smooth and efficient profile entry and upwind drive. For the Reach we’ve developed a longitudinal profile control that connects to the leading edge seam to ensure a precise profile shape is maintained as close to the leading edge as possible, creating a smooth transition from the segmented leading edge to the curved canopy. This results in an even more aerodynamic and efficient airflow and less turbulence.
PROGRESSIVE FREESTYLE MEDIUM HIGH AR
A forgiving kite with pop when you need it for freestyle manoeuvres. The medium high aspect ratio, combined with a powerful profile, gives the Reach explosive pop. Good pop helps generate line slack for handle passes - simply load up, edge hard and pop off the water for easy Freestyle progression.
PREMIUM TEIJIN D2 TECHNO FORCE CANOPY
D2 Ripstop Fabric by Teijin. Premium high-density canopy material made in Japan, using high tenacity polyester yarn for lightness, high tearing strength and endurance. Teijin Techno Force has the highest strength to weight ratio and longest durability in the industry.
DURALITE SEAM PROTECTION
Lightweight reinforcement to protect from chafing and abrasion along the struts to the leading edge. Thin foam padding is inserted underneath to form a lightweight durable buffer which lifts the kite slightly off rough surfaces, and protects the stitching along the struts and leading edge seams.
KEVLAR REINFORCED STRUT SYSTEM WITH BRIDLE DEFLECTORS
For the most accurate and durable connection between the strut and the leading edge. Bridle deflectors on the leading edge prevent the control lines catching on the struts.
HYPERFLOW RAPID SINGLE-POINT INFLATION
High volume single point inflation system with larger diameter hose for rapid inflation and deflation. Bayonet style main inflation valve compatible with most pumps. No adaptor required.
INCREDIBLE STABILITY FOR FOIL AND LIGHTWIND
Boasting predictable, consistent power delivery in every condition, the Reach has exceptional performance at the low-end - especially at slower speeds in lighter wind. Its moderate leading edge diameter provides additional buoyancy, helping the kite to release quickly from the water in even the lightest conditions.
WELL-BALANCED TACTILE SURF HANDLING
Quick responsive steering and neutral static balance helps you fire up your performance in the surf, without any surprises. The Reach drifts well and doesn’t fall over, front-stall or back-stall - making it your go-to kite for foiling and wave-riding.
Lively and playful, this 3-strut allrounder has unparalleled versatility and wind range. Easy jumps. Upwind performance. Effortless relaunch. For 2024 the Reach is lighter overall. We’ve improved the canopy tension for faster flying, and revised the arc design for a crisper, snappier response, more direct steering and more dynamic recovery. Still nimble and easy to ride, but now with a cleaner profile entry and smoother more aerodynamic shape that’s even more stable in kite loops, the Reach is your go-to kite in all conditions. The lighter construction excels in lightwind, foil and surf, without compromising the kite’s durability. Its fast, responsive steering and efficient power delivery give rise to confident boosts, loops and freestyle, while the short responsive bridle provides quick, exponential depower.

SUPERMODELDOES IT
Supermodel feels like an extension of your body. you always feel where the kite is and what it's doing. That means you can have the most fun on the water and just focus on your tricks, the waves, or whatever the ocean decides to throw at you.The way the kite turns and flies means it's extremely versatile. It gives huge lift to jump super high and just go massive. If the swell picks up you can grab a surf board and ride any kind of waves. Flat water? go for an unhooked freestyle session or light wind foiling.Whatever the conditions or whatever your riding style, Supermodel does it.
Designer NotesBy Damien Girardin
'SuperModel is really a kite that reflects the real essence of kiting in my eyes: have as much fun as possible when we go out kiting no matter the conditions, being, gusty or steady, flat or choppy, waves or kickers, light or strong'
The focus in the design process is really simple, make the highest performing kite while keeping it as precise, forgiving and easy as possible.
To reach this goal, the process is always the same, I spend hours kiting in all types of conditions while analysing what’s happening with the kite. I look for feedback from our clients and riders, and look at video's of our kites flying in as many conditions as possible.
One aspect that I thought could be improved is the reaction to heavy load during over-powered conditions or heavy loaded turns such as kite loop.
Bridle balancing is almost 50% of kite design. So I focused specifically on analysing why some sizes handled better than others during the heavy loaded turns, and applied it to the ones that I felt could be improved. It seems like bridle adjustment could be a never ending project, but I’m confident that the SuperModel 3 is the best kite I could possibly design!
NITRO
PERFORMANCE FREERIDE / BIG AIR
SIZES: 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 12
In 2004 Cabrinha took big air kiting to a new level with the Nitro. A kite that was ahead of its time, it powered riders to the top of the podiums around the world. 19 years later we have broken the boundaries in the big air realm and are bringing it back to our roots.
The Nitro is back. A Pat Goodman design from Cab Design Works, which is the pinnacle of Big Air kiting.
Development was a no holds barred approach to see just what could be created to reach the extremities of height and stability. An Apex series product, the Nitro utilizes the most cutting edge materials, purposely developed for use in inflatable structures to be flown in the extreme demands of big air kiting. With phenomenal warp and weft elongation strength, especially under load, Ultra HT material keeps the kite in a stable arc, but the reactive bias movement allows the kite to turn even when under increased pressure allowing the kite to really fly and recover from loops.
The sport of Big Air kiting is more extreme now than ever before. Tricks, which were individual in the past are now combined into one jump, and the demands on the product have never been higher. To ride to the extremes, you need a kite that will get you there, and the Nitro is that kite.

1971 SCHICKTE PORSCHE EINE SAU AUF DIE RENNSTRECKE, HEUTE LÄSST PORSCHE SCHWEINE FLIEGEN! IN DER GESCHICHTE VON PORSCHE ALS „SAU“, „DICKE BERTA“ ODER AUCH ALS „TRÜFFELJÄGER“ BEKANNT – DER PORSCHE 917/20 NIMMT EINEN BESONDEREN PLATZ UNTER DEN VERSCHIEDENEN 917-VERSIONEN EIN.Heute ist Zeit für eine Hommage an dieses legendäre Auto: Gemeinsam mit Duotone hat Porsche beschlossen, die Markenkooperation zu erweitern und eine zweite außergewöhnliche Design-Edition auf den Markt zu bringen. Da beide Marken einen starken Fokus auf Leistung und Geschwindigkeit legen, passt die Inspiration durch eines der emblematischsten Designs von Porsche Motorsport hier perfekt. In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Porsche Design Team hat Duotone Design Director Florian Panther dieses außergewöhnliche Design wieder zum Leben erweckt und für den Evo SLS 2024 adaptiert. Wer sagt, dass Schweine nicht fliegen können?
Wenn du die ultimative Performance in den verschiedensten Disziplinen suchst, ist der brandneue Evo SLS der Kite, der nicht in deinem Gepäck fehlen sollte. Dank SLS-Konstruktion und -Materialien – einschließlich des unglaublich leichten und langlebigen Penta TX, kombiniert mit Trinity TX – werden bei dem Kite im Vergleich zu normalen Modellen bis zu 15 % Gewicht eingespart. Es geht aber nicht nur darum, den Kite leichter zu machen. Die Konstruktion macht den Kite auch steifer, was wiederum die Flugeigenschaften in allen Bereichen verbessert. Du erhältst mehr Pop und bessere Absprünge sowie eine extrem lange Hangtime. Das Handling ist zudem unglaublich dynamisch, unter anderem aufgrund der neuen Flex Struts, die es dem Kite ermöglichen, sich zu verdrehen, was zu deutlich schnelleren und engeren Turns führt. Die Bridle ohne Pulley bedeutet weniger Wartung und besseres Handling, besonders wenn du deine Kite-Loops hinlegst. Mit dieser Bridle wird der Kite zu einer Verlängerung deines Körpers und du hast in jeder Phase deiner Tricks die absolute Kontrolle. Der Evo SLS ist die erste Wahl für Fahrer, die unabhängig vom Fahrstil einen leistungsstarken und vielseitigen Kite suchen. Big Air, Freeride, Hooked Freestyle und Wave Riding sind mit dem neuen Evo SLS ein Traum – ein perfekter Traum, den du jedes Mal neu erleben kannst, wenn du auf dem Wasser bist!
DER PERFEKTE PERFORMANCE-ALLROUNDERMit diesem Kite hast du ganz unabhängig von deinem Fahrstil Zugriff auf hohe Performance – großartig für Big Air, Freeride, Hooked Freestyle und Spaß in den Wellen.AGGRESSIVER LIFTDank seines steifen Frames und einer direkten und dynamischen Lenkung bietet der Evo SLS unglaubliche Absprunggeschwindigkeiten, Lift und eine lange Hangtime.VERBESSERTES LOW-ENDMit dem neuen Flex Strut Design kann der Kite schneller als je zuvor drehen und neue Höhen erklimmen. Dadurch wird die Low-End-Range erheblich verbessert.BRIDLE-SYSTEM OHNE PULLEYDas Bridle-System ohne Pulley bietet ein dynamischeres und direkteres Gefühl für den Kite und eine langlebigere und haltbarere Bridle für den harten Einsatz.MEHRERE TIP-TUNING-OPTIONENStimme den Kite auf deinen Fahrstil ab, erhöhe die Drehgeschwindigkeit oder verlangsame sie, erhöhe oder verringere den Bardruck und fliege den Kite genau so, wie du ihn fliegen möchtest.SLS-KONSTRUKTIONDurch die SLS-Konstruktion mit Hochleistungsmaterialien, wie dem Penta TX-Frame und der Trinity TX-Canopy, wird das Gesamtgewicht verringert. Gleichzeitig bietet diese Konstruktion eine hervorragende Langlebigkeit und Steifigkeit. 2024 ist das Kite-Modell dank der dünneren Leading Edge und insgesamt weniger Material im Frame jetzt noch leichter.
