2014 North Spike Kiteboard
2014 North Spike Light Wind Kiteboard
Sizes: 141cm, 153cm, 163cm
Super early planing and marvelous upwind performance come standard with the 2014 North Spike, an awesome light wind kiteboard for rounding out the bottom end of your kitesurfing quiver. A light wind weapon, arm yourself with the Spike. Don't let those light wind days suck the life from your body.
The Spike is perfect for those days when you arrive at the beach and the wind isn't quite playing ball. Using a unique shape concept, the Spike combines a large surface area and flat rocker with an asymmetrical concave and straight center section. This gives the board unbelievable upwind abilities and gets it up and going in light winds while others are left on the beach. The 163 offers the best upwind and low end performance in the range, while being very easy to ride. The 153 has slightly less low end, but still gets going very early. Underfoot it feels much smaller than it is, so it is perfect for light wind freestyle and freeride tricks. The smallest board in the range, the 141, is tuned to be more of a light wind freestyle machine. It works really well in gusty conditions and is popular among riders who ride inland on lakes. If you want to make every session count, no matter how light the wind is, you need the Spike in your collection.

Why You'll Love It
Tech & Features
Absorption Flex Tip
Based on a unique new construction of the board in the tip area, the scoop rocker line ensures better response to changing situations. In underpowered riding, the board remains flat for fast planing. In overpowered riding, the scoop bends and provides for an increased level of control and stability. The flex tips absorb shocks and enable soft landings.
Hard Flex
North Hard Flex option features the most aggressive flex + pop in our range. Boards with North Hard Flex have more dynamic power development when jumping, more stiffness for better control on ultra-hard landings and a unique pop to always be one step ahead of your competitors!
Torsion Flex
The special shape of the 3D cap allows torsion of the long axis of the board. This gives them more grip on the heel-side edge, rich and smooth landings, a direct drive and better upwind performance.
Mono Concave Bottom
Early planing, comfortable, and smooth on one side but scary fast and dynamic on the other side are key features of the boards with our Mono Concave construction! Try it, you'll love it!
The Track System
"The Track" is the new mounting system of our twintips. Two sliders made out of reinforced plastic are laminated into the boards during the production process.
