About this kite
The Orbit is North's five-strut big-air flagship and one of the most successful competition platforms of the modern loop era. Its signature is composure: enormous lift and hangtime delivered predictably, with enough wind range to hold down carnage conditions. Loops pull hard but recover reliably — the reason it keeps showing up on King of the Air podiums.
