Adding to the ever-comprehensive North Kiteboarding line-up, here’s their Surf collection for 2024…
The ocean has its own timing and flow. There is no rush. Simply an ever-changing rhythm. North has engineered its new 2024 Surf collection for carving up a wave face, tucking into a barrel and boosting strapless. Let the journey begin.
Sizes: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13m
Smooth and responsive throughout the full depower range, with fast pivot turns and excellent drift, the 2024 Carve is now much more stable and manageable in gusty conditions.
The new Carve feels lighter, faster turning and more agile. We’ve redesigned the whole kite from top to bottom for better drift and more responsive fingertip-light steering. It has a lowered aspect ratio, new panel layout, refined leading edge and profile for more responsive steering and lighter bar pressure, more stable efficient drifting and less pull on the wave face. Improved overall balance with more sweep in the tips enhances drift, so when you’re surfing, it glides down the line, waiting for your bar input.
The Carve flies fast upwind and experienced riders will benefit from the kite’s impressive power and efficiency. Intermediate riders will find it offers a smoother, more user-friendly ride.
Freeride and Strapless Freestylers will love the light reactive steering, longer bar stroke, improved hangtime and catch for rotations and softer landings.
“The Carve is a very fast & direct kite which is perfect for wave riding, it’s also my go to kite for a strapless freestyle session as it has a lot of hang time.” – Capucine Delannoy, Women’s World Champion

Engineered for larger waves, the Charge Pro with Futurelite technology is a high-performance dedicated surf shape with fast response, speed and drive that delivers a smooth, powerful ride with a positive feel in critical turns. It also excels at carving, driving upwind, onshore riding, and is versatile enough for aerial tricks.
“The Charge is smooth to ride yet sharp during the turns, it also goes upwind very fast which allows to catch a lot of waves during a session.”– Capucine Delannoy
