What North Has To Say
The Dice is a brand new kite for 2014, aimed at the rider wanting a do-it-all machine with C-Shape flying characteristics. Airton Cozzolino and Tom Court are using the Dice this year, showing you just how versatile it is. Happy performing wakestyle, freestyle or in the waves, the kite entertains on all levels. It is based around a C-Shape profile, using a lightweight three-strut construction.
The kite feels lively in your hands, very direct and predictable in the air. The bar feedback is instinctive and riders find the kite easy to fly right out of the bag. Kiteloops are really easy with the Dice, and it is great fun to ride in the waves or flat water.
If you want a kite that will give you the maximum amount of fun in any conditions, choose the Dice; responsive, fast and great fun!

-

- North Adaptive Tip
-
Since 2012, Rebel, Evo, Neo and Fuse will feature the new "Adaptive Tip". In recent years, there has been a trend leaning towards more reactive kites with even lighter sheeting forces than in the past. Such kites are really comfortable, lively for wave riding and offer more forgiving kite loops because they pivot around the wingtip. However, comparison tests have shown that our team riders and testers actually prefer kites with a harder bar feel because they offer better feedback, precise steering and more dynamic turning, which in turn creates more power. The new "Adaptive Tip" allows users to easily change the sheeting force and turning performance through a simple back pigtail adjustment, allowing you to customize your kite to your desired style and feel.
- TE Force Spread
-
Trailing Edge Force Spread describes the smooth power distribution between the different materials of the kite, forcing the tensions in the right directions. Additionally, especially at the stress points where Dacron and D2 Canopy Material are connected, flattering marks are avoided and the material is not wearing out.
