North Kiteboarding have released their 2022 Big Air kites + twintips…


Everything you want is on the other side of Fear.

What does it take to let go of fear? To commit to the unknown? At North we believe the magnetic pull – for freedom, for letting go of yourself and merging with the power of the elements, for performance, for exhilaration – overcomes fear. This pull calls to us again and again. And we’ve responded in 2022 with bold new designs, engineered to harness the power of the elements. 

In stores now, the new Big Air collection and Trace Lightwind twintip are master-crafted to have your back when nature won’t play nice.

What’s new:

green - North 2022 is here  

ORBIT Big Air / Freeride

Seriously Light, Extreme Height.

For 2022 we’ve made small refinements to the bridle and further reduced the weight of the Orbit with N-FORCE 75 reinforcement and lighter weight bladders, so the kite feels even lighter and more responsive in all conditions.

SIZES: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14

It’s Centre-V Spine and longitudinal quad channels provide balanced torsional stiffness, traction and control, while the medium-low rocker is ideal for flatwater.

Brand Director Mike Raper is excited by the new range: “At North, we are all inspired by the power of the elements, and how when you work with each element, rather than resist it, it takes your performance and experience to a whole other level,” he says.

“Our 2022 Range draws inspiration from the unbreakable bond between the elements and our tribe, and while we continue to be led by nature, this year we’ve really pushed the envelope with technology and performance. I’m proud of the relentless evolution and incremental improvements we’re seeing across the range. And I’m also excited to see how our team rider feedback loop has become such an integral part of the design process.”

The 2022 Big Air collection is in store and available to demo at your local North Kiteboarding retailer now.

Stay tuned for our Surf and Strapless Freestyle launch in October 2021, then Freeride, Freestyle and Foil in March 2022.
