Kitemag review the North Jaime

North Jaime Pro Kiteboard Test ReviewThe Jaime is a legendary board and arguably the first twin tip in the ‘new construction’ to get traction in the mainstream market back in the early 2000's. In those early days it introduced a whole new world of pop, performance and durability to the market and blew minds the world over.

The fact that North still have it in the range and that it continues to have that ‘all round performance’ ethos says a lot about its heritage. It is also one of their best sellers.

Kiteboarder review the Manera Union Harness

Manera Union Harness TestFour years ago Manera released the Exo harness to the market. Working with a human kinetic science lab, Manera developed the Energy Dispersion Frame, a technology that disperses the pressure of the kite around the entire harness and eliminates pressure points, fatique and pain, and allows the rider a more comfortable and longer ride.

From the front, both the Union and EXO harnesses look similar and both feature Manera’s spreader bar system: appropriately sized spreader bars for each harness size to reduce warping and lateral contraction along the sides of the harness.

One of the main reasons why snowkiting is so accessible, is the low risk. You can practice on flat surfaces covered by a thick layer of snow with minimum wind speed. Once people get the hang of it, a new world opens up to them.

Kitemag review the North Dice

North DiceThe Dice has carved itself out a nice little niche in the market. Putting itself firmly in both the wave and the freestyle camps and refusing to say it is one more than the other seems to have worked well for it. It could be seen as a risky tactic as if it doesn’t perform well in either department then it’s essentially not met its expectations.

Looking at it objectively you would say it seems like more of a ‘performance freestyle’ kite, but then you see the likes of Matchu shredding in the surf and it is clear that it has plenty of credit here too.

Kiteworld Magazine review the Naish Boxer

Naish BoxerThe Naish actively turns into a corner, like a racing driver, and continues to drive, even if the lines go a little loose. So the relationship between kite and rider feels more natural and very intuitive, so you can really focus on your board.

The Boxer is pivotal, but crucially it’s pivotal with drive and that’s exactly what you want for freeride foiling in light winds.  That feeling is apparent as soon as you put it up. Nice, boxy wing-tips which look responsive.
