Mega Loop Madness! Baby Shark and The Brazilian Brothers Check Out the 2026 North Orbit

The Brazilian Brothers had a chance to hook up with big air legend Baby Shark (Josue San) and see what he thought about the 2026 North Orbit. The wind there in Prea was 30 knots and the kite's purple colorway matched Baby Shark's Astra board perfectly, so Baby Shark was pretty stoked as he headed into the water.

What's New with the 2026 Orbit?

The Orbit and Orbit Pro have been combined into a single offering, and the shape has been refined into a higher-aspect design that sits further forward in the wind window for better upwind, boosting and hangtime.

The Orbit now has three performance adjustment points on the wingtips. Using the lower attachment will result in a faster kite with less bar pressure, and the top one will move slowly but with lots of power. It's easy to swap among these settings to fit the conditions and your riding preference.

What Did Baby Shark Think?

The conditions were nuking with sick waves, and he had an absolute blast out there on the 2026 Orbit. He thinks the new shape is a game-changer for big air. In fact, he pulled off a world first mega-loop board-off trick, so that really says a lot about what the kite is capable of.

Who Is It For?

With the combining of the Orbit and Orbit Pro for this year, this is a kite for both freeride and big air. Newer riders won't find it intimidating, but more advanced riders will be able to get a lot out ot it as well. However, the North Orbit Ultra is coming soon, and it's going to use a brand new material. Nope, it's not Aluula, but Baby Shark thinks it'll be a game-changer for those who want top performance, and he can't wait to get out on one.
