{"product_id":"north-orbit-kite-2026","title":"North Orbit Kite 2026","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2026 Orbit - the previous model year of North's big air kite, still available in the sizes showing below. Same brief as the current one: boosting, megaloops and hangtime, for riders whose answer to \"what do you want out of kiting\" is \"to go up\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFaster-flying thinner LE\u003c\/strong\u003e — The 2026 Orbit is faster-flying with more direct turning, vertical lift, and improved low-end. The thinner LE also increases the loop speed, so it can fly forward and catch you quicker.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAerodynamic Contoured PTP2\u003c\/strong\u003e — A zigzag-shaped single transition panel helps reduce spanwise tension in the seams, smooths out the profile shape, and creates a cleaner transition from the leading edge to the canopy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResponse 5-point bridle\u003c\/strong\u003e — The extra bridle point supports the slimmer LE, maintaining the rigidity of the lighter airframe and ensuring stability for controlled response, energetic feel, and increased depower.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduced drag, increased lift\u003c\/strong\u003e — The Orbit's segmented arc is slightly narrower in the shoulders and wider in the wingtips, for reduced drag and faster turning. The slightly deeper profile in the centre creates more lift.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eN-Max2 Pro-Technology Airframe\u003c\/strong\u003e — A durable and lightweight airframe material. The multi-layer longitudinal weave improves consistency and tear strength and has greater bias elongation for more dynamic steering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5-strut stability\u003c\/strong\u003e — Five struts provide additional canopy support, keeping the profile steady for incredible top-end stability, wind range and more control over the canopy movement at low attack angles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigher aspect ratio design\u003c\/strong\u003e — Low-drag, high lift profile. Sits further forward in the wind window for upwind and boosting performance. The HA ratio provides more area in the centre of the kite for efficiency and relaunch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn size: most riders boosting in a solid sea breeze are on a 9m or 10m, with a smaller one for the days it really blows. Go up if you are heavier, down if you are light or ride in consistently strong wind. The 2027 Orbit is on the site if you want the current model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColours: Orange, Turquoise, Deep Purple.
