The two-stage arc allows the smooth-curved efficient central region of the kite to produce power, while straighter wing tips provide a more dynamic steering response. As the arc shape becomes narrower the kite uses less of its projected area, giving it a smaller turning radius for tighter turns, and less pull or power in turns. The Carve, a narrower span kite, is fast in flight, with less power overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6 order-md-last\"\u003e\u003cvideo id=\"myVideo\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"\" autoplay=\"autoplay\"\u003e\n                    \u003csource type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/0838\/8795\/files\/2022_North_Carve_Tuning.mp4?v=1639559137\"\u003e\u003c\/video\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6\"\u003e\n                \u003ch4 class=\"jeff\"\u003eCUSTOM-TUNED PERFORMANCE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n                \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eBar pressure and steering impulse can be adjusted on the wing tip, allowing you to fine tune the kite's characteristics to your personal preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"container_fluid\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6\"\u003e\u003cvideo id=\"myVideo\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"\" autoplay=\"autoplay\"\u003e\n                    \u003csource type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/0838\/8795\/files\/2022_North_Carve_Bridle_System.mp4?v=1639559138\"\u003e\u003c\/video\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6 order-md-last\"\u003e\n                \u003ch4 class=\"jeff\"\u003eACTIVE LOAD DISTRIBUTION BRIDLE SYSTEM\u003c\/h4\u003e\n                \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eStructurally designed so each tow point and cascade is individually controlled but interconnected as one unit, the new Carve bridling allows for loads to be more precisely distributed from the wing tip to the centre of the kite. This has enabled us to focus the loading on the leading edge for the most direct pivot steering possible - limiting the amount of power that is produced so you generate less speed in your bottom turns and can ride closer to the pocket of the wave. With the new bridle the Carve flies faster. It also FEELS faster and livelier in the air because the bar pressure, steering impulse and pull from the harness are in harmony. The Carve provides an extremely direct feel in both bar pressure and steering initiation, with more intuitive feedback from the bar in both directions, so you'll always know where your kite is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6 order-md-last\"\u003e\u003cvideo id=\"myVideo\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"\" autoplay=\"autoplay\"\u003e\n                    \u003csource type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/0838\/8795\/files\/2022_North_Carve_Reinfroced_Panel.mp4?v=1639559138\"\u003e\u003c\/video\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6\"\u003e\n                \u003ch4 class=\"jeff\"\u003eAERODYNAMIC PROFILE TRANSITION PANELS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n                \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe profile transition panels ensure that as the leading edge expands, tension from the elongation doesn't migrate into the canopy and a precise lateral profile shape is maintained as close to the leading edge as possible.

Down the line drift is most important when the wind is onshore. The more offshore it gets, the more important it is for the kite to fly forward. The Carve’s bridling ensures you’re able to maintain the drift when you're sheeted in, the kite is responsive and goes down the line. But when it’s offshore or you're riding overpowered, there’s more reaction from the kite when you sheet out, and its ability to fly forward is greatly improved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/0838\/8795\/files\/2022_north_Carve_Wind_RAnge.png?v=1639560200\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6\"\u003e\n                \u003ch4 class=\"jeff\"\u003eIMPROVED WIND RANGE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n                \u003cp\u003eThe new bridle load distribution combines with the Carve's larger leading-edge diameter and low aspect ratio design for improved stability, and improved wind range. We’ve maintained the linear power delivery, ensuring the kite is rock solid when it needs to be. Strapless freestyle riders can go higher with better hangtime, yet still have the control and manageability you need for jumps and tricks. Because the Carve has such impressive power and efficiency, we still recommend going a size smaller for wave riding. So, when everyone’s on a 7m, you can pull out a 6m. A smaller kite means even less weight, faster steering and better drift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/0838\/8795\/files\/2022_North_Carve_High_Buoyancy.jpg?v=1639560200\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6 order-md-last\"\u003e\n                \u003ch4 class=\"jeff\"\u003eHIGH BUOYANCY LEADING EDGE DIAMETER\u003c\/h4\u003e\n                \u003cp\u003eFor a rigid, stable kite frame which requires less inflation pressure. The high volume of air in the leading edge ensures the kite stays on top of the white water and is not easily crushed by the waves. The larger leading-edge diameter intentionally produces more drag and helps the kite sit deeper in the pocket. It also allows us to thin out the actual profile in the canopy itself. With less curve through the main body of the canopy and a larger leading-edge design, you end up with less canopy movement or deformation as you ride the kite at lower attack angles or sheeted out.
