Control System

The safest, most universally compatible, high-performance control system ever. Now auto-unwinding, stronger and lighter, with unrivalled comfort and grip in all conditions. At North, we know from experience that trust in your control system means everything – especially when you are boosting. The connection point between you and your power source can make or break a session. We’ve poured more than 25 years of research, three years of development, and hundreds upon hundreds of hours of on-water testing into this system, redesigning and improving 70% of the 130 parts that go into it. The Nav Pro is an evolution of our original Navigator Control System, safer, comfortable and easy to use, even while performing at the highest level of competition. With modular spare parts that are easy to replace, ensuring the lifespan of your control system can be extended beyond the industry-norm. The new pro-version of the Navigator is now safer, stronger, lighter, easier to use and packed full of features - like the all-new auto unwind.

Auto-unwind

Smooth and reliable front-line auto-untwist, making it easier for you to focus on your riding, instead of physically unwinding your lines.

20% lighter and 20% stronger

Overmoulded one piece bar with internal truss structure.

Safest single-action reload QR

Helps eliminate your chance of accidental release and accidental unhooking.

New highest quality Dyneema Pro Lines

Strong, ultra-low stretch and high-load industry-leading quality Dyneema SK99 lines.

Unrivalled comfort, and traction

Especially noticeable when your bar is wet – in both hot and cold conditions.

Modular Toolless InterLoop system

The Navigator Pro has a Modular Interchangeable Harness Loop system. There are three new Pro loops: Freeride (as supplied with the Control System), Freestyle (for use with the freestyle leash ring), and our Surf Slider.

Universally compatible with any kite*

The Navigator Control System features a Low-V split, which is compatible with most other kites. If your kite has a High-V setup, we recommend using the North High-V Split Kit accessory with the Navigator / Navigator Pro to adapt your front lines.

Two adjustable bar lengths +/- 5cm

The Nav Pro comes in two bar sizes – M (45-50cm) and L (50-55cm) – adjustable under the bar ends with retractable line winders

Smoother trimming action

We’ve created a new lightweight over-moulded trim handle with a wear-resistant Dyneema trim line and injection-aluminium cleat with a hard anodized coating to ensure a smoother trimming action.

Super wear-resistant

Lab-testing of the grip compound show this new formula is 3.5x more abrasion-resistant than a regular EVA grip – so it will last longer.

Nautical colour coding

The dual-moulded red grip and red printing on the bar ends is clearly visible on the left-hand side – along with the colour-coded, PU-covered leader lines

10cm of adjustment for line shrinkage

Under the floats, 3x leader line knots are spaced at 5cm apart, giving 10cm of adjustment to allow for uneven front / rear line shrinkage

Eliminates accidental release

To prevent accidental activation of the Quick Release while riding, we’ve sourced a firmer shock cord bungee and ensured the handle must travel 20mm before release.

Reduces accidental unhooking

To help prevent accidental unhooking, the security finger is stiffer and now fastened directly to the QR body. When you push on the end it doesn't flare out sideways like it does if it’s connected to the harness loop. And we’ve made the Freeride loop smaller in size and spaced the loop connection points closer together, so you’re less likely to come accidentally unhooked.

Always rinse in fresh water

With more moving parts, it’s important to rinse your Navigator Pro routinely in fresh water so it will continue to spin freely.
