I’ve had lots of North Reach kites over the years and have always enjoyed them, but the 2026 is a huge improvement. I think these are the nicest all around kites I have ever flown. They still jump really well on a twin tip, but the drift has improved such that it is actually fun to surf as well. This year’s Reach loops easily with a smooth and tight loop, but it’s not twitchy and it’s easy to control.
The build quality is great, the colours are awesome this year, and I couldn’t be happier with my 12 and 9m North Reach kites!!!
