North 2024 Carve Kite Kitesurf Kite

La Carve is a powerful, responsive, and controllable kite, ideal for carving on the face of a wave, getting into a barrel, or boosting strapless tricks. Designed with a stable, lower aspect ratio for quick pivot turns and excellent drift, the Carve offers an extremely direct feel both in bar pressure and steering initiation.

The intuitive control, especially when the kite is not visible in a big bottom turn, in a cut back, or in a barrel, means you can focus 100% on the waves. The Carve has a longer and more progressive travel, so it feels smooth and responsive throughout the power range and, when you slide, it is reactive until the end.

For 2024, the Carve feels lighter, turns faster, and is more agile. We have redesigned the entire kite from top to bottom for better drift and more responsive steering at your fingertips. It features a reduced aspect ratio, a new panel design, a refined leading edge, and profile for more sensitive steering and lighter bar pressure, more stable and efficient drifting, and less pull on the wave face. The overall improved balance with more sweep in the tips enhances drift, so when you're surfing, it glides along the line, waiting for your bar input.

The wing tips are lighter and we have introduced a smoother curve and a greater backward shape, so the balance is more centered on the profile. A smaller LE diameter reduces pull power, while the additional sweep allows for effortless relaunching of the turn. The Carve is now much smoother, more stable, and easier to handle in gusty conditions.

The Carve flies fast upwind, and experienced sailors will benefit from the kite's impressive power and efficiency. Intermediate riders will find it offers a smoother and easier ride.

Freeride and strapless freestyle riders will love the lightweight reactive steering, longer bar travel, improved hang time, and catch for smoother spins and landings.
