Why You’ll Love This North Big Air Package
Built to Boost Higher
The 2026 Orbit’s higher-aspect-ratio profile, thinner leading edge, and forward camber create efficient vertical lift, increased loft, and longer hangtime with smooth, energetic power delivery.
Designed for Loop Progression
Slimmer swept wingtips, faster flight, and a responsive five-point bridle help the Orbit turn precisely, move forward through the window, and catch the rider more smoothly after a loop.
Explosive Pro Carbon Release
The Atmos Pro’s stiff 12K and triaxial carbon construction stores and releases energy rapidly, converting a hard, controlled edge into powerful pop and efficient big-air sends.
Confidence When Overpowered
A stable five-strut kite frame, precise carbon-board edge control, and the auto-unwinding Navigator Pro create a composed system for demanding powered conditions.
Inside the Complete North Big Air Package
2026 North Orbit Kite
A premium five-strut big-air and freeride kite with a lightweight N-Max2 airframe, N-RS3 triple-ripstop canopy, high-aspect-ratio design, low-drag leading edge, and three performance tuning options. It delivers top-end stability, direct steering, vertical lift, fast loops, and dependable catch.
Navigator Pro Control System
North’s premium control bar features front-line auto-unwind, SK99 Dyneema Pro lines, maximum-traction grip, adjustable width, a modular toolless loop system, and an ISO-21853-certified single-action quick release.
2026 North Atmos Pro Twin Tip
A high-performance 12K and triaxial Pro Carbon board tuned for aggressive riders. Its rapid response, torsional stiffness, edge channels, quad-channel tips, and 3DY reinforcement deliver precise tracking, explosive release, and controlled performance under heavy load.
North Kite/Wing Pump
A high-airflow double-action pump with single/double-action switching, pressure gauge, anti-sand filter, large hose, adaptor, and pump leash for fast, accurate inflation at the beach.
A Cohesive Performance System
The Orbit, Navigator Pro, and Atmos Pro are purpose-matched around powered freeride and big air, creating a direct connection from bar input to edge load, takeoff, flight, and landing.
Big Air Performance Feel
Top-End Stability
Five struts support the Orbit’s canopy and maintain its profile at low angles of attack, giving riders greater control, wind range, and confidence when conditions become gusty or heavily powered.
Fast, Precise Steering
The thinner leading edge, swept wingtips, and response bridle allow the Orbit to turn directly and fly forward efficiently, improving kite positioning before takeoff and recovery after loops.
Locked-In Edge Control
The Atmos Pro’s carbon stiffness, tuned rocker, edge channels, and quad-channel tips help the board hold a powerful line upwind and maintain control while loading for a send.
Smooth, Predictable Landings
The board’s double-concave-to-deep-V center spine breaks surface tension to smooth and stabilize touchdown, while its edge channels maintain precise control through the landing.
2026 North Orbit Wind Range
| Orbit Size | North Wind Range | General Use |
|---|---|---|
| 6m | 20kt+ | Extreme high wind and maximum control |
| 7m | 18–36kt+ | High-wind big air and fast loops |
| 8m | 16–35kt | Powered big air and strong-wind progression |
| 9m | 14–32kt | Versatile big-air size for many riders |
| 10m | 12–29kt | All-around freeride, boost, and hangtime |
| 11m | 11–27kt | Moderate-wind boost and added low end |
| 12m | 10–25kt | Light-to-moderate wind and maximum float |
| 14m | 8–22kt | Light-wind freeride, lift, and hangtime |
Important: Published wind ranges are manufacturer guidance, not a guarantee of safe operating conditions. Rider weight, board size, skill, water state, gusts, current, elevation, and local conditions materially affect suitable kite size.
Orbit Kite & Navigator Pro Bar Guide
| Orbit Size | Package Bar Default | Control Character |
|---|---|---|
| 6–7m | 38–43cm | Controlled small-kite steering for high wind |
| 8–10m | 45–50cm | Balanced response for everyday big air |
| 11–14m | 50–55cm | More leverage and responsive large-kite turning |
North’s official freeride recommendations overlap at the boundaries: 38–43cm for kites under 8m, 45–50cm for kites under 11m, and 50–55cm for kites over 8m. The package defaults above simplify selection; experienced riders may override them to tune steering speed.
2026 Atmos Pro Board Size Guide
| Board Size | North Rider Weight Guide | General Feel |
|---|---|---|
| 136 × 40cm | 55–80kg / 121–176lb | Fast response for lighter riders or strong wind |
| 138 × 41cm | 65–90kg / 143–198lb | Versatile all-around performance size |
| 141 × 42cm | 75–100kg / 165–220lb | More support, edge area, and landing platform |
| 144 × 43cm | 85–120kg / 187–265lb | Maximum support for larger riders or lighter wind |
Choose from rider weight first, then adjust for local wind and preferred feel. A smaller overlapping size feels quicker in powered conditions; a larger size adds low-end support and landing area.
Key North Big Air Technology
N-Max2 Five-Strut Airframe
A lighter, durable airframe and stable five-strut structure support the Orbit’s thinner leading edge while preserving rigidity, response, and top-end control.
Higher-Aspect-Ratio Orbit
The 2026 aspect ratio increases from 4.3 to 5.2, producing a lower-drag, higher-lift profile with more central canopy area for efficiency, loft, hangtime, and relaunch.
Atmos Pro Carbon Construction
12K spread-tow carbon, 300gsm triaxial carbon, and 3DY carbon reinforcement create rapid energy return and a lightning-fast response when the board is loaded.
Navigator Pro Auto-Unwind
A ceramic bearing enables smooth front-line auto-untwist, helping keep the control system organized after rotations while maintaining direct steering and trim access.

Advanced package: The Orbit is user-friendly within the big-air category, but the Atmos Pro is a stiff, highly reactive board tuned for aggressive riders. This package is not designed as a learn-to-kite setup. Big-air riding and kite loops require professional instruction, suitable conditions, reliable safety equipment, and substantial independent riding experience.

2026 North Orbit Big Air Package FAQ
Is this a complete big-air kiteboarding package?
It includes the Orbit kite, Navigator Pro control system, Atmos Pro board, and North pump. Twin-tip bindings, harness, spreader bar, and personal safety equipment are not included.
What is the 2026 North Orbit designed for?
The Orbit is designed for big air and performance freeride, with a focus on vertical boost, loft, hangtime, top-end stability, direct steering, and controlled kite-loop progression.
Is this package suitable for beginners?
No. Although the Orbit offers predictable five-strut stability, the Atmos Pro is a stiff, fast, aggressive carbon board. This combination is best for intermediate and advanced riders with reliable upwind, transition, launch, landing, and self-rescue skills.
Which Navigator Pro bar should I choose?
Use 38–43cm for 6–7m Orbits, 45–50cm for 8–10m, and 50–55cm for 11–14m as a package default. Experienced riders may choose within North’s overlapping recommendations to tune steering speed.
How do I choose an Atmos Pro size?
Start with North’s ranges: 136 for 55–80kg, 138 for 65–90kg, 141 for 75–100kg, and 144 for 85–120kg. Then adjust within the overlap for wind strength and preferred response.
What is the difference between Atmos and Atmos Pro?
The Atmos Pro uses a stiffer full Pro Carbon construction for faster response, stronger edge loading, and more explosive release. The regular Atmos has a more forgiving Hybrid Carbon flex and is easier on the knees.
Does the Atmos Pro include fins and a handle?
Yes. It includes the twin-tip accessory kit with 40mm composite fins and an ergonomic handle. Twin-tip bindings and binding mounting hardware are not included.
Can Windance confirm my big-air setup?
Yes. Contact Windance before ordering and we can match the Orbit, Navigator Pro, and Atmos Pro sizes to your weight, experience, local wind, and performance goals.
Why Choose the 2026 North Orbit Big Air Package?
The 2026 North Orbit Big Air Kiteboarding Complete Package combines North’s redesigned five-strut boost and loop platform with the immediate response of the Atmos Pro Carbon and the precision of Navigator Pro control. For experienced riders chasing height, hangtime, cleaner loops, stronger edges, and greater control when powered, this is a focused performance system built to send.
