About this kite

The Reach is North's versatile three-strut all-rounder: light on the bar, quick through turns and forgiving enough that progressing riders can push into jumps, waves and light freestyle on the same kite. Its wide wind range per size makes it a favourite two-kite-quiver choice for travelling riders.
