2022 North Pulse Kitesurfing Kite



2022 North Pulse Kitesurfing Kite

Freestyle / Wakestyle

Sizes:5m,6m, 7m, 8m, 9m, 10m, 11m, 12m, 14m

INCLUDES: Kite, Bag, Repair Kit

DESCRIPTION

The explosive pop, powerful fast turns and responsive steering of our high-performance Hybrid-C kite will set your heart pumping. The Pulse comes alive in unhooked Freestyle, and makes landing even the most technical tricks instinctive. Its upright, low sweep design ensures the twist introduced by the steering impulse goes much deeper into the centre of the kite, so it turns throughout the entire canopy and the power delivery is constant through the entire loop. The leaner profile entry and slightly higher aspect ratio of the Pulse makes it efficient and smooth-handling, especially in extreme overpowered conditions. Featuring lighter weight N-FORCE 75 heavy duty canopy reinforcement material for a durable, faster-flying kite with increased performance and lift, drive through the kite loop, better recovery and improved slack line and pop. And introducing new lighter weight bladders in sizes 10m and above. The Pulse is the ultimate in performance freestyle, with impressive freeride capabilities for super-high boosts and kite-loops.

FlexPulse structure

The low sweep hybrid-C arc shape gives the kite a more powered turn through the entire wing. Its upright design ensures the twist from the steering lines runs deeper into the centre of the canopy.

Bridled Hybrid-C Design

Combining the attributes of a C-kite and a less upright, wider 2-stage arc kite together gives you a kite that’s not only efficient, but still has many of the attributes and behaviours of a C-kite.

Dynamic edge response 

A combination of higher aspect ratio, smaller diameter leading edge and aerodynamic, leaner profile entry enables the Pulse to fly forward quickly after an explosive pop or when checking a rail edge.

More durable leading-edge seam

There is a large amount of force on the closing seam of the leading edge due to inflation pressure and steering movement. We’ve replaced the thread in the closing seam with a new durable higher tensile yarn that has improved fatigue and wear resistance.  

New lightweight bladders in sizes 10m and above

Bladders make up a bigger weight percentage than any other material used in a kite. The lighter the kite, the more efficiently it flies, the greater the performance in lighter winds, the faster the steering, the more lift created and the higher you jump. 

New DuraLite seam protection 

Lightweight reinforcement to protect from chafing and abrasion along the struts to the leading edge. Thin foam padding is inserted underneath to form a lightweight durable buffer which lifts the kite slightly off rough surfaces and protects the stitching along the struts and leading edge seams.  

New HyperFlow geometry 

The rapid inflation system cap and valve base geometry have been updated for more comfortable opening and closing in colder conditions (when your fingers are freezing).

Lightweight N-FORCE 75

For a durable kite that can hold its profile for increased performance and lift, but is also dynamic, flexible and can twist to turn. 

Aerodynamic PTP

For a stronger, smoother transition, more profile efficiency, better handling and a more balanced feeling.

Durable Dacron

All of the inflated structures and the wingtips in the Pulse are constructed from the highest quality Dacron, for the best strength to weight ratio in a heavy-duty application for a Freestyle kite.

No-pulley bridle

Lower drag, more accuracy and a more direct feeling.

Performance tuning

Bar pressure and steering impulse can be adjusted on the wing tip, allowing you to fine tune the kite's characteristics to your personal preference.
