The 2010 Vegas is a classic C-shape with a pure C feel and massive pop for radical new-school freestyle. Building on the best points of the ’08 and ’09, the ‘10 Vegas has the classic feel you’ve come to expect from one of the world’s most popular freestyle kites with added benefits.

Designed specifically for freestyle riding, no compromises were made towards developing a kite with the performance potential necessary for tackling today’s most technical new-school tricks. Further development of the 5th element system, allowed us to develop a true C kite with great stability and rock-solid power, combined with maximum safety and de-power abilities. Reduced canopy segments and special construction translates into smooth, intuitive and playful turning characteristics that are easily recognized in kite loops where the kite climbs back up overhead for controlled landings. Our most homogenous Vegas line ever. All sizes offer an incredibly similar feeling in both turning speed and bar load, requiring nearly no adjustment time when switching kite sizes.

Two trim options allow you to set up your Vegas in either “Classic” or “New-school” modes. Classic freestyle mode provides high de-power and gives you the most versatile range for doing big jumps, un-hooked freestyle and even venturing into the surf. New-school mode gives you less de-power, extreme stability while unhooking and less sensitive bar reaction for doing loaded power moves. Simply put, the Vegas is the ultimate freestyle kite with explosive pop to elevate your riding to new levels and to refine your style.
Vegas, we play the music!

North introduces an EVOlution in free-ride kiteboarding! The Evo can be ridden on 4 or 5 lines and bridges the gap perfectly between Vegas and Rebel, uniting new-school and free-ride in one kite. The Evo‘s delta shape offers great sheet-and-go riding, excellent wind range and high de-power. The roundish shape helps the Evo turn quickly and predictably while the new bridle geometry stabilizes the arc for a soft, consistent bar feel and extreme back-stall resistance.

The 4 line mode boasts an innovative new safety system and bar-feel prefect for those who prefer soft, easy handling. In 5 line mode the 5th Element additionally stabilizes the arc, providing very direct bar-feel for new-school riding and the ultimate 5th line safety. Auto re-launch means that you can go for it and never have to worry about re-launchng your kite...just take your hands off the bar and let the kite do the work for you! The Evo is built tough to take some thrashings and the new connection between strut and leading edge easily withstands the high loads of the delta shape.

The North Rhino has always been synonymous with extreme power and big jumps. The 2009 Rhino is no exception. Designed for jumping, racing and getting out in the lightest wind the '09 Rhino has the biggest low-end, best hang-time and best upwind speed of any kite in the North range. Less extreme sweep and a slightly flatter profile in the center and tips contribute to better high-wind stability, less drag in overpowered conditions and smooth, responsive turning. Improved lift makes it easy to get big lofty jumps that are vertical and drag-free. The simplified Attack Control Bridle permits substantial changes in angle of attack (power/de-power) without any undesirable twists in kite geometry which results in a surprisingly crisp and responsive bar feel.

Additionally, the AC bridle allows you to fly the Rhino on 5 lines for maximum safety or 4 lines without losing any performance. Although de-power is not as instantaneous when the safety is engaged in 4 line mode, the AC bridle does allow the Rhino to flip onto it's back and de-power much like a 5th element. This is more than the answer to the Cabrinha IDS System! In order to keep the Rhino as light as possible, more light rip-stop has been utilized in the canopy as well as our tested and well-proven Snakeskin along the trailing edge.

The Rhino can be ridden on 4 or 5 lines. Due to the improved attack control bridle the kite can be made pressure-less even in the 4 line setup. Complete depower in no time is attained only by the 5th element!
