Built for the water ahead
Reach Kite 2027
Lively, nimble, and effortless to ride, the Reach is North's most versatile go-to kite, at home in light wind, surf, and everything in between. It delivers confident boosts, freeride flow, and progressive freestyle, whatever the conditions throw at you. For 2027, we've refined the Reach's profile for an even smoother, more stable ride, without compromising the direct steering and feel that defines it. A slightly higher aspect ratio improves wind range and depower across all sizes, with a particular focus on extending the low-end performance of the bigger kites.

Technology
What makes it work.
N-Max2 Pro Material Airframe
A durable and lightweight airframe material. The multi-layer longitudinal weave improves consistency and tear strength and has greater bias elongation for more dynamic steering.
Massive Wind Range & Upwind Drive
A precise, draft-forward profile creates an efficient aerodynamic profile entry and more lift - giving you better upwind drive, and control across a wider wind range.
Aerodynamic Contoured Ptp2
A zigzag-shaped single transition panel helps reduce spanwise tension in the seams, smooths out the profile shape, and creates a cleaner transition from the leading edge to the canopy.
Low Drag Thinner Le
The kite is fast-flying with more direct turning, vertical lift, and improved low-end. The thinner LE also increases the loop speed, so it can fly forward and catch you quicker.
Response Precision Bridle Points
Five bridle points support the slimmer LE, maintaining the rigidity of the lighter airframe and ensuring stability for controlled response and consistent performance.
Drift Control
With refined bridle tuning for quick, progressive depower, the Reach has tactile surf handling, responsive steering and excellent drift, ideal for foil and surf.
Easy Relaunch
The kite’s moderate leading-edge diameter provides additional buoyancy, helping the kite release quickly from the water in even the lightest conditions.
Initiate Fast Reactive Turning
Lighter bar pressure and feather-light steering make the kite feel nimble and easy to reposition. This agility is crucial for quick adjustments and mastering tricks.
3-Strut Dynamic Manoeuvrability
Lighter weight, with less rigidity than a 5-strut, makes the kite faster, with more direct steering and quicker turning, for a more playful feel and easier kite control in all conditions.
Progressive Mid-High Aspect Ratio
The mid-high aspect ratio design with wider wing tips and a balanced bridle provides a compact steering radius, improved loft and hangtime, good impulse slack, and a smooth catch.
