North – Carve

The Carve kite is an exceptional option for wave riding, barrel tucking, and strapless tricks, thanks to its reactive and controllable design. Its lower aspect ratio provides fast pivot turns and excellent drift, with a direct feel in both steering initiation and bar pressure. The 2023 model has undergone refinements that improve its performance and make it smoother and more responsive throughout the depower range, even when sheeted out. The kite’s balance and drift have also been enhanced, allowing for more intuitive control, especially when the kite is not visible. Its reduced leading-edge diameter and thinned-out profiles provide smoother power delivery, wider wind range, and softer landings. Additionally, the Carve’s lightweight bladders and canopy reinforcement enhance its surf-tough durability while improving turning speed in light wind conditions. The 2023 Carve is faster and generates more power, making it a perfect choice for experienced riders, while also providing a smoother, more user-friendly ride for intermediate riders. The kite’s improved hangtime and catch make it a favorite for freeride and strapless freestyle enthusiasts who enjoy kite loops and softer landings.
