4.5/ 5.0
The North Code Zero Pro 2025 is Brad's most-used kite — a single-strut light-wind specialist that genuinely extends your riding season. The redesigned lower-aspect shape with swept wingtips delivers faster, more playful turns and best-in-class relaunch, making it ideal for foiling in marginal conditions. It's not a kite built for power or big-air, but that's entirely by design.
Pros
- +Outstanding relaunch in light winds, especially critical when foiling in deep water
- +New lower-aspect shape with swept wingtips makes turns more direct and playful than previous generations
- +N-Max2 airframe reduces weight without sacrificing durability — important for light-wind performance
- +Flies in 10 knots or less, opening up days other kites would sit on the beach
- +Versatile beyond foiling — works well for light-wind wave riding and strapless freestyle
- +Beginner-friendly due to stable, forgiving behavior and low risk of frontal collapse
Cons
- −Single-strut construction is a specialized tool — not a replacement for an all-conditions kite
- −Limited to light-wind and foiling use cases; lacks the power delivery of multi-strut kites
- −No mention of strong-wind performance, suggesting its range tops out well before high-wind conditions
Best for
Foil-focused riders in light-wind regions who need a dependable relaunch and maximum flyability on marginal days.
Not for
Riders looking for a do-everything kite with strong-wind range, big-air grunt, or aggressive wave performance.
