“Megaloops on a 12? I’d never done that before. I have so much trust in this kite, in every condition.”– Nick Jacobsen
Big jumps. Big hang time. Big wind range. Designed from the ground up, this kite will rocket you upwind fast, with anti-gravity boosting capabilities. Optimised for all conditions, the North Orbit is a predictable kite that can be flown in the unpredictable. Lightbar pressure allows effortless and precise steering with a massive sweet spot. A stiff frame provides a stable platform to help with overpowered airs and megaloops in gusty conditions. Tested by nature and proven by our athletes.
“This kite does just everything, from super strong winds in Cape Town to chilled light winds in the Caribbean. It feels smooth, powerful, and has more lift than any kite I’ve ever ridden.”– Graham Howes
Features
- Phenomenal Loft and Hangtime: Wide lat 2-stage arc supported by a reinforced exoskeleton frame for precision boosting capabilities. The Orbit boosts and loops with ease and is guaranteed to take your breath away. The flattened 2-stage arc design enables a smooth curved efficient central region of the kite to produce power, with straighter wingtips for more dynamic steering response. The Orbit makes the most use of its area, so it has the best hangtime and best power delivery for its size.
- Powerful 5-strut Performance: High-performance 5-strut kite for incredible stability in a wide range of conditions. A powerful all-terrain high-performance kite.
- Incredible Upwind Performance: A reduced leading edge diameter gives the Orbit a low drag profile, making it sit further forward in the wind window for greater power and efficiency.
- High aspect sweep design: Allows more area in the centre of the kite for efficiency and easy roll to relaunch.
- Controlled response: Light bar pressure for effortless steering or just park and ride.
