What’s more, we cater to everyone from beginners to advanced, so whether you are new to wakeboarding and want to try it out, fancy riding for an hour and hitting the sliders and kickers (2011), or just want to come down to get your fix ‘by the pull’ we’ve got something for everyone.

Being the perfect crossover weapon between freeride and new-school freestyle, the 2010 Evo has a huge performance range to tickle nearly every rider’s fancy. The Evo’s super-stable delta shape offers a soft, predictable ride, aggressive jumps and an incredibly steady C-kite bar feel that just begs for you to unhook. Take advantage of the insane pop and stomp the latest new-school tricks. Amazing low-end power gets you up and riding in light wind and the auto re-launch lets you go for broke without a second thought of getting your kite back up; Simply let go of the bar and the kite will do the work for you.

Performance North introduces an EVOlution in free-ride kiteboarding! The Evo can be ridden on 4 or 5 lines and bridges the gap perfectly between Vegas and Rebel, uniting new-school and free-ride in one kite. The Evo‘s delta shape offers great sheet-and-go riding, excellent wind range and high de-power. The roundish shape helps the Evo turn quickly and predictably while the new bridle geometry stabilizes the arc for a soft, consistent bar feel and extreme back-stall resistance.

The 4 line mode boasts an innovative new safety system and bar-feel perfect for those who prefer soft, easy handling. In 5 line mode the 5th Element additionally stabilizes the arc, providing very direct bar-feel for new-school riding and the ultimate 5th line safety. Auto re-launch means that you can go for it and never have to worry about re-launchng your kite…just take your hands off the bar and let the kite do the work for you! The Evo is built tough to take some thrashings and the new connection between strut and leading edge easily withstands the high loads of the delta shape.
