Why Choose the North Reach + Prime 2026 Package? Complete North kitesurfing package Ideal for beginners and progressing riders Predictable and easy-to-control power Simple relaunch after a crash Strong light-wind performance Effective depower in stronger wind Comfortable and forgiving kiteboard Helps with early planing and riding upwind Suitable for freeride and first jumps Equipment that will remain enjoyable as your skills improve North Reach 2026 Kite A Versatile Freeride Kite for All-Round Kitesurfing The North Reach 2026 is a highly versatile freeride kite designed for riders who want one kite for a wide variety of sessions. Its smooth and predictable power delivery makes it easy to build confidence on the water. Beginners will appreciate the stable handling and intuitive steering, while more experienced riders can enjoy its responsive feel, jumping performance and playful character. Whether you are practising waterstarts, learning to ride upwind, working on transitions or beginning to jump, the Reach provides a balanced combination of control and performance. It is equally suited to relaxed freeride sessions, small waves, basic freestyle tricks and big-air progression. Lightweight Three-Strut Design The North Reach 2026 features a three-strut construction that delivers an effective balance of low weight, stability and responsive handling. The kite feels light and agile in the air while remaining composed in gusty and changing wind conditions. This gives the rider more control and makes the kite easier to manage across a wide wind range. Its N-Max2 Pro Airframe creates a strong and responsive frame, helping the kite maintain its shape under load. Four bridle attachment points distribute tension efficiently across the leading edge and contribute to stable, predictable flight. The result is a kite that reacts clearly to steering input without feeling nervous or overly demanding. Strong Low-End Performance One of the key strengths of the Reach 2026 is its ability to generate usable power in lighter wind. The kite accelerates efficiently and helps riders get onto the plane earlier. This gives you more opportunities to ride when the wind is marginal and makes it easier to maintain speed during your first sessions. Its smooth power delivery also supports waterstarts and helps beginners find a stable riding position. As the wind increases, the effective depower allows you to reduce the kite’s pull while maintaining control. The Reach remains predictable in stronger wind and gusty conditions rather than becoming aggressive. Its efficient profile and consistent pull also make riding upwind easier, helping riders return to the same point on the beach and progress more quickly. Durable N-HTRS Canopy Material The North Reach 2026 is constructed with N-HTRS High Tenacity Ripstop canopy material. This fabric is designed to offer low stretch and high tear resistance, helping the kite maintain its profile and responsive handling over time. Lightweight bladders reduce the overall weight of the kite, improve responsiveness and make relaunching from the water easier after a crash. The Reach 2026 is available in a broad range of sizes, allowing the package to be configured according to rider weight, board size, skill level and local wind conditions. North Prime 2026 Kiteboard A Comfortable Freeride Board for Fast Progression The North Prime 2026 is an accessible freeride kiteboard created for beginners and progressing riders. Its stable and forgiving character makes it easier to develop the fundamental skills needed in kitesurfing. The board planes early, holds its edge predictably and helps riders improve their upwind ability. The Prime also offers a comfortable ride in choppy water. Its controlled flex absorbs impacts and reduces pressure on the legs, making longer sessions more enjoyable. Although it is easy to use, the Prime is not limited to the learning phase. It remains responsive enough for transitions, first jumps and more dynamic freeride sessions as your confidence grows. Progressive Single Concave The board uses a progressive single concave that is deeper through the centre and gradually becomes flatter towards the tips. This bottom shape provides several benefits: Early planing Easier upwind riding Predictable edge control Smooth handling in choppy conditions Reduced spray Softer and more controlled landings Stable handling at different speeds The rounded outline makes the board easy to turn and forgiving when your technique is not yet perfect. Its carefully tuned tip flex absorbs rough water and helps prevent the board from catching or diving during landings. Composite Construction with Paulownia Wood Core The North Prime 2026 is built using North’s Composite Construction. A lightweight Paulownia wood core is combined with biaxial E-glass to create a strong and durable board with balanced flex. This construction gives the Prime a comfortable ride while maintaining enough response for continued progression. The FlipTech mounting system allows the bindings to be repositioned so that both rails can be used more evenly. This helps distribute wear and can extend the usable life of the kiteboard. A subtle grab rail on the deck provides additional grip for riders who later want to practise board-offs. Who Is the North Reach + Prime 2026 Set For?
