North Atmos Hybrid 2023 Kiteboard Ocean Blue

Name: North Atmos Hybrid 2023 Kiteboard Ocean Blue
Brand: North

Our most popular high-performance Freeride board for explosive boosting, looping and stable, predictable landings. The Atmos is powerful upwind with precise edge control. Strategically placed layers of unidirectional carbon tape in the hybrid construction help deliver a well-balanced dynamic flex. Designed to ride overpowered with ease and control, yet still enabling early planing and low-end performance. The harmony between medium rocker, progressive outline and flex makes this the ultimate all-terrain board to take you to the next level, in all conditions. Updated for 2023 with centreline strap inserts for extended rail longevity, and new composite TwinTip washers. Edge harder and release into Earth's atmosphere with the Atmos Hybrid. HIGHLIGHTS Precise edge control Medium rocker with balanced flex pattern Single concave centre to quad channel tips WHERE IT THRIVES All conditions WHAT RIDERS SAY "The perfect amount of pop to send big air moves." - Graham Howes Medium rocker with balanced flex pattern Allows for early planing and great low-end performance with rapid response & explosive pop. Single concave centre to quad channel tips Absorbs impact by breaking the water surface tension, and ensures stable and predictable landings. MEDIUM-HIGH OUTLINE CURVE Delivers easy carving through turns and always provides optimised grip. HYBRID CARBON CONSTRUCTION Strategically placed layers of unidirectional carbon tape reinforce the E-glass laminate in high load areas. This layup is sandwiched with a Paulownia wood core to deliver a well-balanced, more forgiving flex so you can ride for longer, with flow and form. HARMONIOUSLY BALANCED ROCKER, OUTLINE AND FLEX Balanced rocker, outline and flex for excellent upwind tracking. The flex characteristic of every TwinTip Board is determined by multiple features built into each specific design. Core thickness variations and taper, as well as detailing, longitudinally and laterally, play the most significant role in controlling the overall flex and feel. Board specific laminate layups then allow us to further fine tune the flex and board characteristics. We adjust the stiffness lengthwise and torsionally in conjunction with the rocker line, plan shape view and profile of the board, to give each board its specific performance characteristics. DURABLE ABS RAIL For long-lasting, impact-resistant performance. INTEGRATED GRAB RAIL Integrated into deck shape to provide easy grip for board-offs. 40MM FINS INCLUDED Strong, abrasion resistant composite fins with dogbone washers and M6x16mm standardised screws. SINGLE CONCAVE CENTRE TO QUAD CHANNEL TIPS Absorbs impact by breaking the water surface tension, and ensures stable and predictable landings. SINGLE CONCAVE CENTRE TO QUAD CHANNEL TIPS Absorbs impact by breaking the water surface tension, and ensures stable and predictable landings. LIGHTWEIGHT, IMPACT RESISTANT PAULOWNIA WOOD CORE Paulownia is a highly renewable hardwood species, with one of the highest strength to weight ratios. Ultra lightweight, with a high shear force and high impact resistance, Paulownia wood forms a non-toxic core which significantly displaces the amount of foam or resin used in manufacturing, thereby reducing carbon emissions. Each board has a customised core thickness individually fine-tuned to ensure its characteristics are consistent throughout the range, no matter your size or weight. STAINLESS M6 STANDARDISED HARDWARE Standardised SS316 M6x16mm hardware across all twin tip boards and accessories enables the use of the same PH3 screwdriver for assembly and makes replacement of parts super easy.

Pure-comfort seamless KnitFlex inners and triple-density GripFlex footbeds are combined with customised size and stance adjustments for a locked-in feel and dependable support. Sold separately in sizes S/M or M/L. MEDIUM ROCKER WITH BALANCED FLEX PATTERN Allows for early planing and great low-end performance with rapid response & explosive pop.
