North Neo (2010)

The Neo emerges in the North kites line-up as a comfortable and super easy handling all-rounder with auto-relaunch and predictable bar feedback. Although we've kept a keen eye on simplicity with it's 3 strut configuration, the Neo boasts all of our highest quality North Progression 10 construction details for lasting durability and sleek looks. The Neo's round and compact shape flies equally well on 4 or 5 lines making it a great kite for a wide range of riders and riding styles.

North Fuse (2010)

The Fuse is a brand new kind of free-ride/wave kite with a huge wind range, light, predictable feel and great jumping qualities. Its unique and simple new Attack Control Bridle gives the Fuse smooth, reactive steering that is especially evident when de-powered, making it a huge step forward in terms of manoeuvrability and directness on 4 lines. Additionally, the new AC Bridle gives you the ability to safely and completely de-power the Fuse on its back similar to a 5 line system.

North Rebel (2010)

From flat-water freedom to tearing the bag out of any size surf, the 2010 Rebel is the all-terrain freeride/wave kite of your dreams. Smooth, lively and responsive steering, even whende-powered, makes it the ideal kite for surfing and a blast to ride in any conditions. The loaded 5th line design, in addition to providing safety, gives the Rebel its short and aggressive power stroke that is up to 30% shorter than bridled kites. This means huge range and top-end comfort on those super windy days and the ability to instantly turn the power off and on at will as you link your turns down the line.

North Vegas (2010)

The 2010 Vegas is a classic C-shape with a pure C feel and massive pop for radical new-school freestyle. Building on the best points of the ’08 and ’09, the ‘10 Vegas has the classic feel you’ve come to expect from one of the world’s most popular freestyle kites with added benefits. Designed specifically for freestyle riding, no compromises were made towards developing a kite with the performance potential necessary for tackling today’s most technical new-school tricks. Further development of the 5th element system, allowed us to develop a true C kite with great stability and rock-solid power, combined with maximum safety and de-power abilities.
