NORTH ORBIT KITE 2026

The safest, most universally compatible, high-performance control system ever. Now auto-unwinding, stronger and lighter, with unrivalled comfort and grip in all conditions. At North, we know from experience that trust in your control system means everything – especially when you are boosting. The connection point between you and your power source can make or break a session. We’ve poured more than 25 years of research, three years of development, and hundreds upon hundreds of hours of on-water testing into this system, redesigning and improving 70% of the 130 parts that go into it. The Nav Pro is an evolution of our original Navigator Control System, safer, comfortable and easy to use, even while performing at the highest level of competition. With modular spare parts that are easy to replace, ensuring the lifespan of your control system can be extended beyond the industry-norm. The new pro-version of the Navigator is now safer, stronger, lighter, easier to use and packed full of features - like the all-new auto unwind.

Big Air / Freeride Our iconic premier 5-strut kite delivers user-friendly performance with a big wind range, effortless steering and upwind drive. Completely redesigned for 2026, the new Orbit flies smoother, jumps higher and gives riders more control in big air manoeuvres. It is your ultimate kite for loop progression, with more precise, responsive steering and increased loft and hangtime. The pro-technology N-Max2 airframe material has enabled us to create a slimmer, lighter leading edge (LE) for improved efficiency. A new five-point precision bridle supports this thinner LE, while a higher aspect ratio (from 4.3 to 5.2) and a more forward and cambered profile give the kite a smoother, more energetic feel.FeaturesNew Response 5-point bridle attachment systemNew thinner low-drag LE and strutsNew PTP2 contoured to reduce tension in the seamsHigher Aspect Ratio for increased loft and hangtimeMore swept slimmer wingtips for precise responsive steeringMore forward and cambered profile for higher boosts & easier loopsC-ARC Continuous Curved Segment Arc-designStable 5-Strut PerformanceUltralite StitchHold TechnologyLow Profile Bridle LinesThree performance tuning optionsDuraLite Seam ProtectionAirlite Lightweight BladdersHyperFlow Rapid InflationLightweight Trailing Edge ReinforcementKevlar Reinforced Strut AttachmentIncludes Premium recycled fabric Kite BagMaterialsNew lightweight and durable pro-technology N-Max2 airframeNew N-RS3 High Tenacity Triple Ripstop Canopy

In fact, it's one of the most controllable fast kites I’ve ever used.” Gleiten.tv “In its class of 3-strut high-performance kites, the Thrive is by far the most responsive. It shines in the waves, providing smooth and controlled power. It excels in technical loops, offering unmatched performance, exceptional turning speed and smooth control.” Jason Montreal “The Thrive is incredibly fast and requires very little effort to fly… It’s more forgiving on loops, giving riders the confidence to progress.”
