North KiteboardingReview takeaway
North's brand director Mike Raper and designer Pepijn Smith detail the Pulse as a ground-up Modern-C design centred on maximum line slack for unhooked freestyle. Key highlights include the fifth-line single bridle for safe relaunch, a five-strut canopy for stability, adjustable bar pressure, and a 3D arc leading edge that eliminates transition panels. Hugh Pinfold introduces the Navigator Freestyle bar — a compact 38–43 cm five-line bar with offset finger bar, handle-pass leash, and releasable freestyle leash ring.
