Kiteboarding Video: North Kiteboarding 2017 Evo Kite Product Clip
North Kiteboarding - 2017 North Evo
The Evo is the arounder of the range—best suited for free riders at home at all disciplines. The five-strut design, combined with the new Dacron frame 3-D shaping and updated strut-tip design intern an even cleaner profile and faster turning than the previous years.
The Evo works on four or five lines, depending on your personal preference. When hitting the waves, the Evo wants the rider to use a proactive riding style.

If you want to boost, you can take to the sky with a powerful lift and incredible hangtime. If un-hooking is on your agenda—the Evo delivers. With this perfect blend of freestyle performance added to the mix, the Evo won’t ever hold you back. The Evo is the most well-rounded kite within the North kiteboarding range.
This year, the task was to focus on tweaking the fine details. These attributes collectively play at fundamental parts on the Evo’s high performance across all disciplines, and all conditions.

This year, you'll notice the lighter and faster steering. The three new back pigtail positions allow you to customize your kite to your personal preferences. There is a significant difference in all of those settings and you should definitely try them all. The factory settings combine the best of two worlds—fast life but still very responsive. Overall, I would recommend this setting because it fit perfectly to the general flying characteristics of the Evo. The soft setting futures a light bar-load, tighter turns, smooth kite-loops, and soft power development. The hard setting features a heavy bar-load, precise steering, more kite feedback for a full dynamic turning, better jumping and aggressive kite loops. If you're riding anything below 11 meter, I would recommend the four-line 22 meter bar. As the resume, the new progress this year is a new Dacron frame, a new 3-D shaping, for a very clean profile, and a different tip-strut design for faster turning.

If you're looking for a kite that delivers all the new kite style then the Evo in the kite for you.
