The most versatile kite just got even better. The Reach is the shop's go-to kite when we don't know what the day might be. Whether it's twintip, surf, foil, or lightwind days. The Reach will provide all the fun. For 2026, new geometry and material were introduced to the kite. The N-Max 2 airframe, with N-RS3 canopy material, allows the designer to feature a smaller leading-edge diameter. This improves the wind range and kite flying characteristics. The addition of new bridle points gives the kite a smoother, more responsive feel than in previous years. The drift control was also improved, making the kite even better in the surf and foiling The 2026 is still true to the core of all-around kites that you want in our quiver, but with major improvements that will make your 2026 session even more fun to ride.
Lively, nimble, and easy to ride, the Reach is our most versatile go-to kite for all conditions. Lighter overall with more reactive steering, the 2026 Reach has a slimmer N-Max2 LE for faster-flying and extra bridle points for structural support. The kite's new profile enables cleaner airflow and a smoother feel, with more lift for easier transitions. A more swept design, slightly higher aspect ratio, and refined bridling deliver more direct steering and dynamic recovery, with quick, responsive depower. It excels in light wind and surf, and gives rise to confident boosts, freeride, and freestyle. In the 13-19m, the light wind Reach is fast-flying with consistent drive forward.
