North Reach 2026

The all round freeride kite for every kitesurfer from North

The North Reach 2026 is the perfect kite for kitesurfers looking for a reliable all round performer. This kite truly lives up to its name, because whether you want to freestyle in a relaxed way, land your first big jumps or enjoy riding waves, the Reach can do it all. Its forgiving character makes the kite ideal for beginners taking their first steps, while the direct response and solid performance continue to challenge more advanced riders. With the Reach 2026, North has created a kite that genuinely performs for everyone.

The 3 strut design of the North Reach 2026 offers an excellent balance between weight and stability. The kite feels light and agile, while maintaining control in stronger wind or gusty conditions. This makes the Reach very accessible for kiters who are still getting used to different wind conditions, and at the same time playful and fun for riders with more experience. The N Max2 Pro Airframe gives the kite a strong and durable construction with a direct feel. You feel exactly what the kite is doing, which builds confidence, whether you are practicing your first board off or simply cruising. Thanks to the 4 bridle attachment points, the load is evenly distributed across the frame.

One of the biggest advantages of the North Reach 2026 is the improved low end power. The kite gets going early, allowing you to ride powered up in lighter wind. This means more time on the water and less waiting on the beach. When the wind picks up, you always stay in control thanks to the effective depower. You can easily depower the kite when needed, without it ever feeling aggressive. The upwind performance is also impressive. The efficient shape and stable power delivery allow you to ride upwind effortlessly, even with a smaller board or in lighter conditions.

The N HTRS High Tenacity Ripstop canopy material has low stretch and high tear resistance. This means the kite keeps its shape, even after many hours on the water. The lightweight bladders contribute to the overall light feel of the kite and provide quicker response and easier relaunch after a crash. The North Reach 2026 is available from 5m to 19m, so there is always a size that matches your weight, board and wind conditions.

In short, are you looking for a reliable and versatile kite that grows with you from your first sessions all the way to advanced riding? The North Reach 2026 kite is the logical choice for all your sessions. With its accessible character, solid performance and wide range of use, every session becomes a success!
