North Toro 5 (2005)

The Toro 05 is the perfect four line kite for advanced riders. Good low end power ensure performance even in light wind. Its thicker leading edge keeps the Toro 05 very stable in the sky and its voluminous profile creates the necessary lift for jumps. Easy handling and a large depower range help maintain control at all times. Water relaunch is also easy due to the kite’s low aspect ration.

The Toro 05 is the kite of choice for advanced riders. Pilots who have a tighter budget but do not want to renounce on fun and performance will also find that the Toro 05 is a perfect option.

North Reflex Tip
The tip of a kite tends to operate at low and changing angles of attack. The result is that kites often look nervous in the air, with the tips wobbling from side to side. Part of our solution to this problem is the patent-based Reflex Tip - an elongated s-shaped profile. In this profile, the trailing edge is designed to deflect airflow in such a way as to slightly increase and stabilize the angle of attack of the entire profile. The desired Reflex Tip shape is controlled and maintained through the use of Carbon Reflex Tip Battens and Reflex Hexribs.

Segmented Leading Edge
The leading edge is composed of conical segments for a precise distribution of stresses that enhances the kites durability. The main seam is tucked away behind the leading edge for protection against shocks.

Turning Speed Controller
Optional points of attachment at the ends of North kites offer the opportunity to attach the back lines closer to the front lines. This reduces the kite's speed and agility. Ideal for beginners practicing with small kite sizes or for wake style.

Self Rescue Handles
These loops attached to the inside of the wingtips make it easier to hold the kite for bodydrag rescue.

Technology Super Seam
The canopy is made of T96008 Polyester Ripstop for low weight and durability. This material is absolutely hydrophobic and UV inhibited on both sides.

Fool Proof Connectors
These connectors prevent the number one cause of kite accidents by ensuring that front lines cannot be attached to the back of the kite and back lines cannot be attached to the front.
