Design details
PERFORMANCE FREERIDE
Sizes: 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 15 / 17m
- New crisper, livelier feeling lighter N-DUR Darcon in all sizes
- New leading edge seam with higher tensile yam
- New revised arc design for cleaner kiteloops
- New ergonomic HyperFlow cap and valve geometry
For 2022 we’ve introduced a new lighter Dacron exo-skeleton in every size and revised the arc design for a crisper, snappier response, more direct steering and more dynamic recovery. Still nimble and easy to ride, but now with a cleaner profile that’s even more stable in kite loops, the Reach is your go-to kite in all conditions. The lighter construction excels throughout the entire wind range, foil and surf, without compromising the kite’s durability. Its fast, responsive steering and efficient power delivery give rise to incredible boosts, loops and freestyle, while the short responsive bridle provides quick, exponential depower. In the three larger sizes, the Reach is a powerful lightwind kite designed with a predictable, consistent drive forward for TwinTip riding - long after everyone else has gone in.

New N-DURE Dacron
The new N-DURE Dacron has a more balanced weave for a crisper, livelier feel. The symmetrical yarn pattern gives the material a lower bias elongation that snaps back to its original shape faster. This provides the kite with a crisper response, more direct steering and more dynamic recovery.
