Performance Freeride
The Reach has excellent ride quality and flight with a compact steering radius, thanks to its medium-high aspect ratio design with a wider wingtip and well-balanced bridle. During a loop, many kites will stall before resuming, but the Reach has a smooth, consistent takeoff and doesn't hesitate to return.
Includes: Kite, Bag and Repair Kit.
NORTH REACH FREERIDE KITE
Lively and playful, this 3-strut all-rounder has unmatched versatility and wind range. Easy jumping. Upwind performance. Effortless relaunching. For 2024, the Reach is lighter overall. We've improved canopy tension for faster flight and revised the bow design for crisper, more agile response, more direct steering, and a more dynamic recovery. Still agile and easy to ride, but now with a cleaner profile entry and a 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 light wind, foiling, and surf, without compromising the kite's durability. Its quick, responsive steering and efficient power delivery result in confident boosts, loops, and freestyle, while the short, responsive bridle provides rapid, exponential power reduction. In the three larger sizes, the Reach is a powerful light wind kite designed with predictable, consistent momentum for riding with a TwinTip, long after everyone else has come in.
