Kite Details & Specs
2023 North Carve Kitesurfing Kite
The Carve is a powerful, reactive and controllable kite, ideal for carving up a wave face, tucking into a barrel or boosting strapless tricks. Engineered with a stable, lower aspect ratio design for fast pivot turns and excellent drift, the Carve has an extremely direct feel in both bar pressure and steering initiation. For 2023, we've put the Carve back into its wave riding category. Refined bridling for a longer, more progressive travel means the kite feels smoother and more responsive throughout the full depower range. It is still reactive when you sheet out – to the very end. Improved overall balance also enhances drift, so when you're surfing, it glides down the line, waiting for your bar input. More intuitive control - especially when the kite's not visible on a big bottom turn, cut back, or in a barrel - means you can focus 100% on the surf. The Carve has a slightly reduced leading-edge diameter and thinned-out profiles. This gives the kite smoother power delivery, improves the high-end wind range, and helps you ride deeper in the pocket for longer. The kite won't pull you aggressively off the rail, and you'll have softer landings when doing big jumps. The 2023 Carve will also relaunch faster in critical situations. We've introduced lighter bladders in all sizes and a lighter 2-ply canopy reinforcement. This reduces weight and helps improve the turning speed in light wind while maintaining the Carve's surf-tough durability. The Carve now flies faster, generating more power and board speed. It rockets upwind. Experienced riders will benefit from the kite's impressive power and efficiency, while intermediate riders will find it offers a smoother, more user-friendly ride. Freeride and Strapless Freestylers will love the improved hangtime and catch for kite loops and softer landings.

Choosing Your Board
Cross or Charge
Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob? That's nothing compared to the tension that comes from deciding which surfboard style camp you belong do. We break down the different boards based on who would ride them from the Twilight series.
Jacob - North Charge Rider
Jacob is a physically fit and athletic individual who enjoys pushing himself to the limit. He has a strong connection to nature and is drawn to activities that allow him to experience the power and beauty of the natural world. With this in mind, the North Charge would be an ideal fit for Jacob.
The board's fast and dedicated surf shape, along with its smooth turning and power, would allow Jacob to execute powerful cuts down-the-line, much like when he sinks his werewolf claws into his latest victim. This type of wave riding is similar to the thrill and adrenaline rush he gets from his wolf transformations.
The Charge's exceptional upwind drive for onshore riding would also appeal to Jacob, as he enjoys testing his limits and taking on challenges. The surfboard's ability to pop strapless freestyle tricks with ease would provide Jacob with an opportunity to showcase his skills and creativity and transform into an absolute beast on the water.
Edward- North Comp Rider
As a vampire, Edward has incredible speed, strength, and agility, and he uses these abilities to push himself to new heights. Edward is also deeply in love with Bella, and his passion for her is just as strong as his love for surfing.
The Comp would be the perfect surfboard for Edward, as it has a number of features that appeal to his vampire abilities. The board's dedicated strapless freestyle performance, with explosive pop, would enable him to showcase his skills in a way that no other surfboard could.
In addition to the Cross's high-performance capabilities, Edward would appreciate the board's thinner, more durable, and even more responsive design, meeting his high standards developed over so many centuries of life. When he slaps the lip of a wave and sends up a burst of spray, it almost looks like he sparkles.
Bella - North Cross Rider
Bella would love the North Cross surfboard because of its smooth carving, versatility, and user-friendly design. As someone who doesn't want to be limited to just one style of riding, she would love how the board blends the line effortlessly between surf and strapless freestyle.
Bella would appreciate the effortless acceleration, more drive off the rail, and a faster, more reactive bottom shape that would make it even more fun to ride. With its instant speed and comfortable stance, the Cross provides generous volume and width for a forgiving ride with great upwind speed and powerful pop for freestyle tricks.
The Cross is the ultimate all-rounder, instantly familiar, intuitive, and easy to ride. Bella would love how it carves, jumps, and pops, allowing her to play in the waves and bust out her favorite freestyle tricks with ease. Overall, the North Cross surfboard would allow Bella to enjoy the ocean and embrace her love for both adventure and freedom.
