North Reach Kite Yellow 2024

North Reach 2024 Kite A versatile and forgiving freeride kite from North

The North Reach 2024 is North's ultimate all-rounder. It is the ideal choice for beginner kitesurfers who want to explore different disciplines, as well as advanced kiters who don't want to be limited to one style, be it wave, freeride, freestyle or big air. The North Reach 2024 offers all-around freeride performance in one kite with an impressively wide wind range. This year, the Reach has become faster and more stable thanks to a revised panel layout and an improved shape of the leading edge.

For 2024, North has further refined the Reach's leading edge shape, allowing the kite to fly more stably through the wind window. Thanks to a revised panel layout with less dacron and the use of lighter dacron in the leading edge, the weight of the North Reach 2024 has been significantly reduced. In addition, the new two-ply trailing edge contributes to optimal steering performance without compromising the kite's strength and durability. All of this significantly improves the performance of the new 2024 North Reach.

We found that the kite now has a more direct steering response and offers additional stability. The Reach is extremely forgiving, easy to sail upwind and has a very fast restart after a drop. The elevator of the new North Reach 2024 has also been improved. If you are interested in learning your first kiteloops with the North Reach, it is certainly achievable.

The North Reach 2024 cannot be pigeonholed. Thanks to its average aspect ratio, the North Reach 2024 can go in any direction. For a freeride kite, the Reach has excellent drift, allowing you to catch the waves without the kite falling out of the air too quickly. Want to try an unhooked trick? No problem. With a good pop, the Reach will give you enough line slack for perhaps your first handle pass. Ultimately, most kitesurfers aim for big air. In this, the Reach offers the perfect stepping stone. With good elevator and average hangtime, your first jumps are no problem, after which you can evolve to kiteloops and more challenging tricks.

In short, the new Reach 2024 has been improved in terms of stability, forgiveness and overall performance. An ideal kite to start your kitesurfing adventure with as a beginner, and for the advanced kitesurfer to explore a different discipline with each session.
