Description
Lively and playful, this 3-strut allrounder has unparalleled versatility and wind range. Easy jumps. Upwind performance. Effortless relaunch. For 2024 the Reach is lighter overall. We’ve improved the canopy tension for faster flying, and revised the arc design for a crisper, snappier response, more direct steering and more dynamic recovery. Still nimble and easy to ride, but now with a cleaner profile entry and smoother more aerodynamic shape that’s even more stable in kite loops, the Reach is your go-to kite in all conditions. The lighter construction excels in lightwind, foil and surf, without compromising the kite’s durability. Its fast, responsive steering and efficient power delivery give rise to confident boosts, loops and freestyle, while the short responsive bridle provides quick, exponential depower. In the three larger sizes, the Reach is a powerful lightwind kite designed with a predictable, consistent drive forward for TwinTip riding - long after everyone else has gone in

Jake's 2024 North Reach Kite Review
The 2024 North Reach is a versatile, three-strut, all-around kite designed for a wide range of riding styles and ability levels.This model sees several enhancements from its 2023 version. There's a revised wingtip shape and deeper canopy to address previous issues with the kite surging forward and causing over-rotation during tricks. While this change slightly affects the kite's upwind drive, We believe the improved balance and intuitive feel more than compensate for it. The 2024 Reach uses North's nMax Dacron, a premium, lightweight, and stiff material that offers high performance without a hefty price tag. While the Reach isn't specifically designed for light wind riding, it's adaptable enough for various conditions and riding styles, making it a versatile choice for most riders.
