2024 North Orbit Vs The North Reach?

[@olavisoosaar]

100% Agree with Jake - also for years owned both. 9m2 Orbit and 9m2 Reach . Most days I go with Reach - also take 2-3 boards along with me. Foil, lightwind twintip and main twintip. So I simply switch boards depending on the wind, kite stays the same. When it is nuking I go with Orbit for loops and big-air. Reach is the kite you pick up 80%+ of the time for freeriding and and is far superior to Orbit if you plan on foiling. Reach is a bit faster than regular Orbit, but not so stable and consistent to climb above you when wind gets stronger and you go for loops. Reach has a bit better low-end also than Orbit, thus is why it might be better suited in larger sizes also (11-12). For big-air / loops - in strong winds - will always pick Orbit. As their marketing slogan said - predictable in the unpredictable. This is what counts when it is nuking 😀 Both are excellent kites, simply depends on what you want to do. As Jake said, if you can get both - get both 😀You won't be disappointed.

Hi Jake, thx for the vid. Can u do unhooked session with reach ? thx a lot

[@JakeKelsick]

You can definitely unhook with the reach but if you do a lot of unhooking I'd look at the Pulse

[@RedRoulette]

Super video thx 🍻 I have a question.. in the same day do you use the same size of the reach and of the orbit ?

Nice vid brotha 🙌

[@JakeKelsick]

Yew! Thanks boss man. Gotta get you back down here for some sessions 🙌🏻

I feel like I should get the reach. Deep down I want the orbit tho. I am scared I am going to be held back on these windy days…

Wich the weight on Orbit?

[@totococozza]

Ciao, I need to ask a question I am 100 kg If I use kite foil board what kite size I need to buy ? Consider light wind condition of 10 knots average Best Toto

Ciao Totò Non sono kelsik ma peso 100kg e mi sto prendendo un orbit per la tt e uno due monostrut usati per il foil: col 9 reach e un foil grosso da principianfi con vento leggero proprio leggero con uno o due loop riesci tranquillamente a partire ma come ti fermi il kite rischia lo stallo e se cade in acqua devi avere un’ottima tecnica per ripartirlo ( e devi nuotare col pepe in culo perchè se non riparte il foil segue la corrente e non lo recuperi più) e se non ci sono troppe raffiche riesci a usarlo anche con vento sostenuto… per capirci l’altro giorno ho posato il foil che mi sembrava di essere troppo invelato e faticavo troppo per gestirlo, ho presa la tt e saltavo 5 metri almeno…se gli altri usano la 9, col foil potresti tranquillamente usare una 6 o 7, per 10 nodi potresti prendere un monostrut 10 o 11 o un cassonato

Grazie del consiglio..
