Kiteboarding | 2021 North Reach Review With Shaun Bennett

[@loganramirez316]

Ever since LF going out I feel like a video comparing some kites that can take the spot if the NV

[@davedej1]

Rode a bunch of NV versions and the Reach 2020. Completely different kites imo.

Hey there Gents. My question would be shall I get a 12 or 13 m reach for mostly light wind sessions. I’m 65 kg rider and I’m considering getting a 144 twin tip. Thanks.

[@MACkiteboarding]

Jorge, I would say get a 13m². You could even go bigger to really scrap out some sessions! - Cole

[@nickbergman2710]

Hey Guys! What do you think of a 7, 9 and 12 reach quiver for a 75+ kg rider who wants to go out on lightwind days as well as 30+ knots. Switching between twintip and a strapless surfboard. Curious what you guys have to say :)

[@MACkiteboarding]

Nick I think that would be a sweet quiver. I think you are on the right track! -Cole

[@tunakizal]

I would buy an orbit as 7

[@nickbergman2710]

Seeing the response just now... Have this set for a while now and absolutely love it!

[@sergemann5951]

Hows this compare to other all around kites like Pivot or Rally GT?

[@MACkiteboarding]

The Reach is quicker turning and not as powerful through the loops. - Cole

[@raghuram2815]

Rygo and Shaun - thanks for the video. Have any of you ridden the 17M reach? For twintip obviously. I was considering single-strut 17m kites (like Slingshot Ghost or Airush Ultra) but these are more for foiling. I instead want something for lightwind twintipping which has more continuous power/grunt. Is the Reach 17m good for it? Or would you suggest kites specifically designed for LW (like Cab Contra, Sling Turbine, etc) ?

[@MACkiteboarding]

The larger reach kites are actually light wind specific. How much do you weight? 15 might be more than enough. - Rygo

[@raghuram2815]

@@MACkiteboarding I weigh 200 pounds. And will be using a light wind board for these conditions.

[@MACkiteboarding]

I think a 17 reach would be epic for you. I’m adding a 15 to my quiver soon.

What's up rygo just wondering where your at id love to meet up to ride with you for some lessons or whatever your videos are super informative and I feel you would be a awesome instructor. Trying to progress as much as possible hitting that Plato just need that extra push

[@MACkiteboarding]

Cheers! As of now I’m in central and south Florida. Always on the move. How about you? - Rygo

[@mconti564]

Hey Rygo! Interested to hear how the Reach might work or not for a heavyweight rider, the crossover Bene’s are interesting but let’s find out where it doesn’t work and for whom...

[@MACkiteboarding]

What’s heavyweight to you?

[@bengawain5652]

@@MACkiteboarding same question, I’ m about 90kg. For strapless surfboard I don’t know better buy a carve or a reach? Own already a 7 and a 9 meter. Better a 10 or 11? Is there a big difference?
