Description Reliable 5-Strut Big Air Kite from North Kiteboarding Since its introduction, the North Iconic Orbit has become the showpiece within the lineup of North Kiteboarding. This year, North introduces the 2025 North Orbit Iconic, the classic of all 5-strut big air kites on the market. With a significant wind range, easy steering, and great upwind performance, this is the all-rounder for both beginner and advanced big air riders. This fifth edition is optimized in panel layout, bridles, and bladders. As a result, the North Orbit 2025 jumps more easily, pulls impressive kiteloops, and offers incredible hangtime for ultimate big air performance! The North Orbit is a favourite amongst both pro riders and beginners. Utilised by the worlds best such as Cohan van Dijk, Marc Jacobs and UK rider Francesca Maini in global competitions in the most extreme conditions, but everyday riders like you have access to the maximum performance of the new 2025 Iconic Orbit. The sweet spot of this kite is so large and offers a combination of power and handling all in an easy handling package. Thanks to the sturdy 5-strut frame the Iconic Orbit fills you with confidence whether you are going all in on your highest jumps or even pulling your biggest mega loops! High end control in the conditions needed to perform these manoeuvres oozes throughout the kite and it allows you to hold more power, which enables you to fly high and loop lower than ever! Flying higher in the wind window allows the Orbit to give more of a vertical lift rather than those frustrating low but long jumps, which also aids the ‘catch’ after kite loops as the kite climbs above your head a lot faster than most kites in the big air sector, even being a standard Dacron construction. The leading edge shape has been refined with a contunour curved arc that is slightly narrower on the shoulders and wider in the wingtips and allows adjustment of the wingtips which reduces the kites drag and improves turning speed and providing more lift. Due to the changes of the wingtips the bridles have been re-engineered, including new attachment points which builds on the familiar stability you would expect from an Iconic Orbit. No matter how strong or gusty the wind is, the North Orbit remains reliable and forgiving when you are overpowered, even in very gusty winds, the kite feels direct and catches you after a massive mega loop. In the larger sizes, the panels have been updated, improving the low-end performance, especially for heavier riders. The kites feel more responsive and slightly faster. The smaller sizes have a lower aspect ratio, resulting in more hangtime and faster, tighter loops for doubles and S-loops. All kites feature lighter bladders, reducing the overall weight of all kites. In summary, the North Orbit 2025 is the perfect kite for anyone who wants to make big jumps and megaloops. Whether you are just starting with big air or are experienced like Cohan van Dijk, the North Orbit 2025 offers you the best performance. If you are looking for a more ‘advanced’ version of the North Orbit, consider taking a look at the Orbit Pro 2025, a 13% lighter model which is built to be a high end competition ready version of the Iconic Orbit and if you want the big air weapon of all weapons, want a bang for your buck and want to be a rider going the highest, looping the lowest with the most stylish looking kite in the sky, check out the all new North Orbit Ultra featuring a full Aluula airframe.
