About this kite

The Code Zero is North's foil-kite program: a ram-air performance platform for hydrofoil freeride and race-adjacent efficiency in wind that leaves tube kites on the beach. High glide, strong upwind angles and featherweight packing. The Pro build pushes materials further for competition-minded foilers.
