North Reach 2026
The North Reach 2026 – the ultimate all-round kite for every session and every level.
Playful, light, and super intuitive: the Reach is known as the most versatile kite in the North line-up. For 2026, it has been further refined with a slimmer N-Max2 Pro leading edge, additional bridle support, and an optimized profile for even faster handling, smoother power delivery, and more lift during transitions.
Thanks to the updated aerodynamic design, the Reach flies cleaner through the air and feels incredibly stable and predictable. The slightly higher aspect ratio and refined bridles ensure more direct steering, dynamic recovery, and fast, progressive depower when you need it. This makes the kite perfectly suited for freeride, freestyle, surf, and foil.
The slimmer leading edge brings multiple benefits: less drag, faster turning, higher loop speed, and vertical lift that makes every jump easier and higher. At the same time, five precisely placed bridle points support the lightweight construction, ensuring the kite maintains its shape in all conditions and you can always rely on consistent performance.
In the surf, the Reach excels thanks to its excellent drift and active, responsive steering. In light wind, the kite truly comes alive – especially in the larger sizes 13 to 19m. These light wind monsters fly surprisingly fast, generate consistent forward drive, and keep your session going when others have already stopped.
The Reach also scores high on practical aspects. The moderate leading-edge diameter ensures effortless relaunch, even in light wind. The light bar pressure and hyper-reactive turning make the kite playful, precise, and ideal for landing new tricks or for quick corrections on foil or surfboard. The 3-strut construction keeps the whole package light, maneuverable, and accessible for all levels.
In short: the North Reach 2026 is the kite that can do it all. From relaxed cruising to powerful boosts, from wave riding to freestyle, and from light wind sessions to strong wind days. A reliable, modern, and versatile kite that is guaranteed to get you on the water more often — with a big smile.
