Why You’ll Love This North Freeride Package
One Versatile Kite Platform
The Reach is North’s all-conditions go-to kite. It combines light, reactive steering with smooth power delivery, quick depower, efficient upwind drive, dependable relaunch, and enough drift for surf or foil sessions.
Performance Without Harshness
The Atmos delivers responsive load and release, strong edge control, and explosive boosting, but its balanced Hybrid Carbon flex is easier on the knees than a full-carbon performance board.
Premium Control and Safety
The Navigator Pro features front-line auto-unwind, SK99 Dyneema Pro lines, an ISO-21853-certified quick release, adjustable bar width, and a modular toolless loop system for a clean, direct connection.
A Setup You Can Keep Progressing On
The package is approachable for progressing riders yet dynamic enough for advanced freeride. It supports better upwind angles, clean transitions, carving, first jumps, powered sends, loops, and confident landings.
Inside the Complete North Kiteboarding Package
2026 North Reach Kite
A lighter, faster-flying performance freeride kite with a slim N-Max2 leading edge, N-RS3 triple-ripstop canopy, refined five-point bridling, and a progressive mid-high aspect ratio. The Reach delivers direct steering, quick recovery, responsive depower, lift, drift, and impressive low-end efficiency.
Navigator Pro Control System
North’s premium control system is stronger, lighter, auto-unwinding, and engineered for dependable high-performance use. It includes adjustable bar width, smooth trimming, nautical color coding, a Pro Freeride Loop, and modular serviceable parts.
2026 North Atmos Twin Tip
North’s popular big-air and freeride board uses Triaxial Hybrid Carbon construction, a Paulownia wood core, balanced flex, precise edge channels, and a double-concave-to-deep-V spine for powerful tracking, dynamic pop, and smooth predictable landings.
North Flex Pro Bindings
Supportive twin-tip bindings with triple-density cushioning, a contoured anatomical footbed, GripFlex traction, ramped lateral support, and adjustable KnitFlex-lined straps. They are designed to absorb impact and keep the rider comfortably connected during powered freeride and big-air sessions.
North Kite/Wing Pump
A high-airflow double-action pump with single/double-action switching, an integrated shockproof pressure gauge, anti-sand filter, large-diameter hose, adaptor, and pump leash for faster, cleaner setup at the beach.
Ready to Rig
The control system includes lines, a standard leash, quick release, and Freeride Loop. The Atmos includes 40mm fins and an ergonomic handle, while the Flex Pro bindings include the required mounting hardware.
Performance Feel
Lively, Nimble, and Direct
The 2026 Reach’s lighter airframe, thinner leading edge, and responsive bridling create quick, precise steering with a smooth feel through the bar. It is easy to reposition and reacts cleanly to changing wind or riding direction.
Strong Upwind Drive
An efficient draft-forward kite profile combines with the Atmos’s precise edge control to produce confident upwind tracking across a wide range of conditions.
Boost, Float, and Smooth Landings
The Reach generates clean vertical lift, loft, and a smooth catch, while the Atmos’s deep-V center spine breaks surface tension to soften and stabilize landings.
Playful Across Disciplines
Quick depower, agile turning, and controlled drift give the Reach the versatility to move beyond twin-tip freeride into surfboard, foil, carving, and light-wind sessions.
Reach Kite & Navigator Pro Bar Guide
| Reach Kite Size | Recommended Navigator Pro | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| 5–7m | 38–43cm | High wind, lighter steering input, fast small-kite control |
| 8–10m | 45–50cm | Everyday freeride, versatile steering speed, broad all-around use |
| 11–19m | 50–55cm | Larger kites, light wind, more leverage and responsive turning |
North’s official freeride guidance overlaps at the range boundaries: the 38–43cm bar is intended for kites under 8m, the 45–50cm bar for kites under 11m, and the 50–55cm bar for kites over 8m. The pairings above provide a simple package default; experienced riders may choose a different width for their preferred steering speed.
2026 North Atmos Board Size Guide
| Board Size | North Rider Weight Guide | General Feel |
|---|---|---|
| 136 × 40cm | 55–80kg / 121–176lb | Fast and responsive for lighter riders or powered conditions |
| 138 × 41cm | 65–90kg / 143–198lb | Versatile all-around freeride and big-air size |
| 141 × 42cm | 75–100kg / 165–220lb | More low-end support, stability, and landing area |
| 144 × 43cm | 85–120kg / 187–265lb | Maximum support for larger riders, lighter wind, or easier planing |
Tip: Weight is the starting point. Riders prioritizing low-end power, early planing, or easier progression may prefer the larger overlapping size. Riders prioritizing fast response in strong wind may prefer the smaller overlapping size.
Flex Pro Binding Size Guide
| Binding | US | EU | Foot Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 4–6.5 | 36–39 | 19–21cm |
| M | 6.5–8.5 | 39–41.5 | 20–22cm |
| L | 9.5–10.5 | 41.5–44 | 22–24cm |
| XL | 10.5–13 | 44–47 | 23–25cm |
For the best fit, your toes should be able to stretch and flex. The upper strap should feel secure without rubbing or restricting circulation.
Key North Technology
N-Max2 Pro Airframe
A durable, lightweight multi-layer material gives the Reach greater tear strength and dynamic steering response while supporting its slimmer, lower-drag leading edge.
Three-Strut Maneuverability
The light three-strut structure helps the Reach turn quickly, steer directly, drift cleanly, and remain playful across changing conditions.
Triaxial Hybrid Carbon Atmos
Fiberglass and strategically positioned 3DY carbon reinforcement create torsional control, efficient load transfer, responsive pop, and a more forgiving flex than a full-carbon layup.
Navigator Pro Auto-Unwind
A ceramic bearing inside the quick-release system enables smooth front-line auto-untwist, reducing manual line management after rotations and transitions.
