2025 North Reach Kiteboarding Kite

Hot Box Reach Review with Dustin:

I had the chance to test one of the first production runs of the 2025 North Reach, and wow, what a ride! Right from the moment I pumped it up, I could tell it's got a higher aspect ratio and more sweep in the wing tips than previous models. As soon as I hit the water, the difference was obvious, the Reach is lightning fast and delivers epic hang time. Plus, the new N-Max2 material makes it lighter and a lot stronger, so you get that solid, durable feel without compromising on performance. Overall, the new Reach is playful, responsive, and smooth, perfect for riders who want to push their limits while enjoying every second on the water.

From North

Lively, nimble, and easy to ride, the Reach is our most versatile go-to kite in all conditions. For 225, we’ve introduced an N-Max2 airframe for lightweight durability, improved the low end, and added more depower. The new Reach has a more swept design, slightly higher aspect ratio, and refined bridle positioning points for a playful, smoother and faster-flying kite with more direct steering and dynamic recovery.
