Orbit Kite 2025 - 12 m - Pacific Blue
For 2025, we have refined the Orbit for faster turning, more direct turning response, greater vertical lift, and even greater stability. Thus, surfers of all abilities can boost even higher, loop the kite faster and smoother, and always know where the kite is in the sky. Technical Features Even more predictable in the unpredictable A high-performance big air kite that is stable and consistent in a wide range of conditions, especially in the high end. You can ride the kite overpowered without it getting away from you - it won't front-stall but will fly quickly forward to catch you in kite loops, so a surfer of any skill can experience the best of both worlds, and always know the kite's position in the sky. Extreme boosts and megaloops Send it to extreme heights. With its reliable catch and kiteloop recovery, Orbit always has your back. Orbit has a very large footprint in the sky. This increases the amount of sail area working for you, making the kite super-efficient with great power delivery. It is also fast and responsive in steering and flies quickly through the sky, so it is capable of coming around and catching you, climbing up and giving you plenty of time to prepare for landing. Segmented curved arc design The smooth segmented curve arc LE is slightly narrower in the shoulders and wider in the wingtips. The wingtip has an elliptical shape for reduced drag and slightly faster turning speed, while a slightly deeper profile in the middle creates a bit more lift. Orbit is our most reliable, stable Big Air/Freeride kite. We are confident that it can do it all, but with its extra stability, it is suitable for everyone. Fully re-engineered bridles For 2025, we have adjusted the bridles for the new, slightly lower aspect ratio, further improving overall stability and low-end. We have retained Orbit's controlled response and fast steering, energetic feeling and depower. Working closely with our pro team surfers to put the kite through hardcore testing in every wind made it possible for us to further improve stability, feedback and steering behavior, and to give the kite a lighter, more responsive feel. Aerodynamic profile transition panels The individual PTP helps to smooth the profile entrance, ensuring that a precise lateral profile shape is maintained as close to the leading edge as possible, creating a smooth transition from the segmented leading edge to the curved canopy. The panel helps to reduce any profile discrepancies, resulting in a smoother, more efficient kite, with more aerodynamic airflow and less turbulence. In the smaller sizes, you will notice better hang time and a faster/tighter turning radius. In the larger sizes, the kite is more lively and responsive with increased low end. Thinner, lower volume LE The thinner LE increases loop speed, so it can fly forward and catch you faster. For 2025, Orbit is faster-flying, with a more direct turning response, more vertical lift and improved freeride low-end performance. To achieve this, we have given the kite a thinner LE diameter (approx. 8L less volume). The lower-volume airframe, combined with a slightly lower aspect ratio, results in a higher-jumping, faster-turning, more direct-feeling and smoother-flying kite. Durable highest quality N-Dure2 Dacron inflated structures For uncompromising strength and durability, all the inflated structures and wingtips of Orbit are constructed from the highest quality industry-proven Dacron with the best strength to weight ratio in a heavy-duty application. We have used a layer of markcloth to reinforce the trailing edge. This adds strength and elongation control, protects the lighter inner main canopy body. Lightweight bladders in all sizes The lighter the kite, the faster the steering, the more lift it creates, and the higher you jump. Bladders make up a larger weight percentage than any other material used in a kite, so we continue to use a 17% lighter weight bladder material in all sizes to help the kite feel even lighter and more responsive under all conditions. This further weight reduction improves the low-end capabilities and helps the kite fly more efficiently. It also improves the overall static balance of the wing by reducing the weight in the front of the kite. High Aspect Ratio Design Gives Orbit a low drag profile, making it sit further forward in the wind window for incredible upwind performance. The high aspect ratio design allows more area in the center of the kite for efficiency and easy roll to relaunch. For 2025, we have lowered the aspect ratio slightly for more hang time, better catch and loft. Stable 5-strut performance When you're chasing a storm, Orbit offers incredible top-end control. The five-strut design gives it an incredible amount of stability and wind range, and you have much more control over canopy movement at low attack angles. Orbit has the widest wind range of all our kites. The solid, no-pulley bridle is a little bit longer, and combined with its placement on the kite gives
