In partnership with paraglide high-performance world-champion race glider designer, Hannes Papesh, North presents our first RAM-Air kite design for the 2028 Los Angeles Quadrennium.
Engineered for aerodynamic efficiency, with balanced stability and deformation resistance for maximum speed and range, high wind advantage and light wind performance. The design is the result of complex proprietary computer simulations.
Please note: The 19m is Mens Formula Kite Class only. The 21m is not approved for the Formula Kite Class
"Our North Formula kite design is super light, extremely stable, and has a slightly different bridling system, refined to deliver speed and performance to the far edge of fast. We're proud to celebrate our sailing heritage and join the other North Sails classes dominating the worldwide racing podiums." —Mike Raper, North Brand Director.
