2025 North CODE ZERO PRO Kite

FEATURES

• Efficient light wind power delivery

  The Code Zero is a light, fast and reactive single-strut performer with effortless one-handed control and efficient light wind power delivery. Ideal for foil and waveriding, the Code Zero flies and turns quickly - with excellent drift and manoeuvrability. Drift is ideal for foiling, where you travel at very high speeds and it's important the kite goes along with you.

• N-Max2 Pro Airframe and lighter construction

  This helps contribute to the Code Zero’s playful, agile feel and fun, dynamic steering. The Code Zero has an N-Max2 leading edge and strut, a double-canopy layer to reinforce the trailing edge, and lighter-weight bladder material in every size. DuraLite wingtip chafe protectors provide abrasion resistance only where you need it. In light wind kiting, you want to go out using the smallest possible kite in the least amount of wind. To keep the kite flying, the less weight it has, the easier it is to fly. We wanted to see how light you could go without losing performance or making it too fragile. Engineered using the lightest materials possible, we’ve taken a minimalist approach – there’s nothing on it you don’t need.

• New sizing

  We’ve started to introduce more linear sizing with the new 3.5 and 4m kite, and continue the 14m, which is ideal for learning in light wind. But if you’re <70kg and hydrofoiling, you won’t need bigger than an 8m – even in the lightest winds.

• Stable balanced geometry

  The kite is stable and evenly tensioned with a balanced geometry, which ensures it has minimal flutter and maintains its upwind capability. The balanced geometry makes one-handed steering a breeze, which means you can always foil in your preferred stance.

• Bridle optimised for better control

  The bridlepoints are designed to sit on the intersegments, ensuring the bridle loads through a thicker part of the LE for a more direct/solid feel.

• Ride lighter wind conditions with a smaller kite

  With its responsive power delivery in light, shifty conditions, the Code Zero reacts very directly on steering impulses. Depending on the size, the Code Zero performs best in its low-end range, and will carry you through the lulls and gusts. When you’re riding with more wind, the smaller sizes are ideal for freeride foiling. The kite is lighter and faster through the window, making it fun for performing tricks.

• Lighter weight bladders

  These ingredients combine for a super lightweight kite with the fastest response and turning speeds possible.

• Increased depower and bigger range

  We’ve introduced a more durable and flexible lightweight N-Max2 airframe material for a smoother response, more direct steering and more dynamic recovery. The new N-Max2 LE and strut material is optimised for better consistency and durability. 8% lighter than a standard Dacron (156gsm), the material's multi-layer longitudinal weave also improves tear strength by 30% and has greater bias elongation.

• Trailing Edge reinforcement

  A double layer of canopy material at the trailing edge provides optimal tension in the canopy shape, keeping it as smooth as possible and helping the kite to fly faster through the sky. Two layers of canopy material are softer than using a single-ply reinforcement material, allowing the kite to twist better and be more responsive. Small battens stabilize the canopy and counter flutter on sizes 9m, 10m, 11m and 14m.
