Have to agree, the North kitebag is one of the best I have come across. Had to replace all the zips on my duotone bags due to corroded zappers, very frustrating.
Hey Jorgen, We recommend rinsing your kite with fresh water after each saltwater or dirty water use. This will help remove any salt, sand, or debris that could damage the fabric or affect the kite's performance over time. To rinse your kite lay it flat on a clean surface and spray it thoroughly with fresh water, ensuring you’re rinsing the kite thoroughly to remove any residue. In addition to rinsing your kite after each use, storing it properly when not in use is also a good idea. This means folding it neatly and keeping it in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and other heat sources. Ultimately, whether or not you choose to wash your kite after each session is up to you. Rinsing your kite with fresh water and storing it properly can help extend its lifespan and keep it performing at its best. Please let us know if this helps. See you out there, Jamie 🤙
Hey there, Once the straps have been fed through the openings Hugh points out, lay the bag down shoulder straps to the ground. Place the board on top. Clip the ends of the straps together over the board, pull tight, and you're good to go. Please let us know if you have any other questions. See you out there, Jamie 🤙
Hey there, We found with new materials that the strut tubes last much longer, so weren't needing to be replaced as often. Please let us know if you have any other questions. See you out there, Jamie 🤙
Definitely not generous on size. Not horrible but other brands are significantly more spacious. On rainy sessions I like to pack my kite loose to reduce potential sand abrasion and that’s not possible with this bag
@@gloglebag ocean rodeo, cabrinha, slingshot. But after seeing some newer kites on the beach lately I think I’ll retract that original statement lol. They’re not too bad but not huge
Probably the best bag out there. Good work!
Good to know the internal straps are for carrying a board...could never figure out what they were for

I love the north bags. You forgot to mention the foil assist strip on the shoulder! Nice little feature I thought
I looked the whole video to find out what it was, thanks for answering it ahah
Hi North, do you need to clean your kites?

@@North_Kiteboarding Thank you! ☺️
Do you sell the kite bags separately?
But how do you attach the board on the back?

Shame the repair kit doesn’t come with a spare strut tube anymore!
