This kite is among the best when it comes to big air and freeride. Most recently, Jesse Richman won KOTA on this kite.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe North Orbit 2022 stays true to its iconic construction with five struts and super clean design in three different colors: Marine Green, Pacific Blue and Red Sea. Of course, the unique features are also preserved in this 2022 model of North Orbit. With the North Orbit 2022, you will still be able to easily jump to unknown heights. The open 5-strut design ensures you have huge amounts of hang time to land again. Plenty of time for single, double or even three double backrolls. You think of it, North Orbit 2022 will make it possible! Are you a more experienced kitesurfer and maybe ready for your first kiteloops? Even here, you will be surprised by the characteristics of North Orbit 2022. This five strut kite is surprisingly fast and pulls very comfortable kiteloops where you don't have to worry about North Orbit dropping you from the sky. Before you know it, North Orbit 2022 is completing loops and ready to grab you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat we like about North Orbit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e✔️ Lots of hang time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e✔️ The North Orbit has a huge top end and can be controlled in high winds without the kite feeling overpowered.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e✔️ North Orbit has a light bar pressure and is a very intuitive kite.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e✔️ North Orbit is a kite that is easy to develop on.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you should be aware of at North Orbit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✖️\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you are a beginner, you will appreciate more the North Reach, which is more \"forgiving\".

This kite was designed to rocket you upwind fast, with effortless steering, extreme boosting and hangtime guaranteed to take your breath away. Tested by nature, proven on the podium. The Orbit has your back when the rules of gravity don't apply. For 2022 we've made small refinements to the bridle, so the Orbit retains its light steering impulse, stability, high-end performance and kiteloop recovery.

It also improves the overall static balance of the wing by reducing weight in the front of the kite. Bladders make up a bigger weight percentage than any other material used in a kite.

If you prefer a more direct steering and shorter depower travel, you're able to move the setting forward on the wing tip.
