NORTH HYPERFLOW INFLATE VALVE works on new North kites starting in 2020 and beyond. Valves also work on Slingshot, Cabrinha, and Eleveight kites. Made with Tear-Aid to work with any bladder

How to install a fixmykite.com self stick valve?

1. Valve Removal: If replacing valve, carefully peel off old valve. If old valve does peel off, cut around circumference of valve to remove
2. Cleaning: Wipe area where valve will be placed with provided alcohol swab. DRY COMPLETELY WITH A CLEAN PAPER TOWEL.
3. Peel and Stick: Lay bladder out flat. If possible, have a friend lightly hold bladder on table or other smooth even surface. Peel off paper backing, center valve over hole, and place valve on bladder.
4. Press: Press valve from center outward to remove air bubbles and ensure proper adhesion and creases.

*Pro Tip- Use a hair dryer to heat the valve. This makes it easier to remove the valve. After placement of the Fixmykite self stick valve use the hair dryer again to warm the adhesive. Press the valve from the center out massaging and stretching creating positive adhesion. Be careful not to overheat the bladder or new valve.

Add Velcro Option
The "Add Velcro" option provides you with attached Velcro at the base of the valve just as you would see with the original factory bladder.  This part of the valve goes on the inside of the kite casing; the Velcro prevents the bladder from twisting when tightening the screw-cap. 

MEGA Option: The MEGA valve option refers to the size of the TEAR-AID PATCH ONLY.  MEGA patches are 4 inches in diameter as opposed to the standard valve patch which has a 3” diameter. This extra inch means 77% more adhesive base and surface area compared to the standard valve patch size. The MEGA-valve patch is necessary when the old valve is cut from the bladder or leaves a tear during removal. The additional surface area provided by the Mega valve Tear-Aid patch allows quick and easy bladder repair eliminating the need for an additional bladder patch. The Mega Valve Patch can also be used if the valve area of the bladder is warped.

If your old valve(s) cleanly peel(s) off, a larger Mega patch in most cases isn’t necessary.

Add Bladder Patch Install Kit Option
The Bladder Patch Install Kit is for use when your old valve has to be cut out of the bladder leaving a hole larger than the valve. If your old valve peels off of your bladder easily, you do NOT need the bladder patch kit. The Bladder Patch Install Kit includes a baggie of talcum powder and a 6x6-Inch (15.24 x 15.24cm) adhesive patch.

North 2021 Navigator Control System

Think less, feel more

Release and reload faster with the intuitive single-action reload Connect Quick-Release, and switch effortlessly between disciplines with the Toolless Interloop, our no-tools required modular harness loop replacement system. The Navigator Control System connects you intuitively to your kite, using premium leading technology Dyneema lines for precise performance. For 2021, we've widened the range with a new smaller bar size, and we've refined the ergonomic design even further for greater durability, increased tactile control and comfort. Sensing your kite's position just became second nature.

Sizes:

•  38-43cm
•  45-50cm
•  50-55cm

Includes:
Control Bar complete with Lines, Connect Quick Release, Standard Freeride Loop with Finger, Standard Leash, Repair Kit, 2 Spare LockGuard

Harness Loop Options:

•  Short Freeride Loop - Surf / Freeride
•  Standard Freeride Loop - All Terrain / Freeride / Freestyle (INCLUDED)
•  Long Freestyle Loop - Unhooked / Wakestyle
•  Slide Surf Loop - Surf / Foil

Features:

Premium 100% Dyneema SK99 flying lines

• Strong, thinner profile, pre-stretched flying lines mean less parasitic drag and uncompromised direct performance. With 88m of flying lines in the air, you can really feel the difference thinner line creates. Our latest technology high-load LIROS DC-401 Pro flying lines have extreme stretch resistance and minimal diameter (1.6mm).

Adjustable bar length options with NEW smaller bar size

• Fine tune the turning speed of your kite. The Navigator is available in three sizes 50-55cm (L), 45-50cm (M) and NEW bar size 38-43cm (S) - suited particularly to small freeride kites and freestylers. The small bar reduces kite sensitivity during handlepasses. To extend/retract bar length simply pull out cassettes on the bar-ends, rotate 180 degrees and snap back into place.

NEW grip with offset finger bar and colour-coded components

• Feel more connected. The Navigator is designed with a comfortable ergonomic grip for a natural grasp and the tactile offset finger bar is slightly oval, so you can feel when the control bar is orientated correctly. The colour-coded grip, leader tubing and line retainer pull tabs give a nod to our sailing heritage, port (red) and starboard (green).

Connect Quick-Release with intuitive single-action reload

• Fast, safe releases in a wide range of conditions. Our patented Connect Quick Release (QR) raises the bar in kite control system safety. The red QR handle has been ergonomically designed to fit in your hand comfortably for an industry-standard push away release. All loaded or running surfaces feature highly polished 316 stainless steel and low-friction components. The stretchy, larger diameter bungee inside the QR helps reduce accidental release.

Toolless Interloop System with LockGuard

• Switch effortlessly between disciplines - no tools required. Simply push, twist, pull, lock and go. Loops are made from optimised TPU material for flex and durability, with a more rigid freeride security finger to prevent unexpected unhooking. Flexible LockGuard safety ring prevents accidental release of your interloop.

NEW larger spinning leash attachment ring

• Our NEW oval-shaped leash pin ring has been elongated for easier fastening of the leash carabiner, and spins to help prevent your landing line from twisting.

Soft EVA bar ends with retractable line winders

• The positive buoyancy bar ends with integrated line winder bungees are injection moulded in one piece with no seams for long-lasting quality. The bar ends ensure nothing hard comes in touch with you or your board, float the entire bar, and also contain the concealed rear line adjustment. Even the best quality lines shrink over time, so after a month, we recommend you check your lines are all even and drop them to the bottom knot. It?s easy and takes only a minute to make the change.

Protective PU covered leader lines

• To help prevent line abrasion from uncovered lines against your skin, we've used colour-coded PU tubing covers. The covers also help them remain rigid and out of the way when the flying lines aren't under tension.

Adjustable cleated trim system

• Provides industry-proven line-adjustment when needed. The cleat base has been designed with NEW circular geometry for consistent bar spin, in other words, no jamming when you?re doing a barspin megaloop. In overpowered conditions the cleat allows you to shorten your front lines and adjust your body position.

Lightweight over-molded trim handle with Dyneema lines

• Easy to reach molded trim handle doesn't hurt when it hits you. Made from Nylon/EVA for strength with a textured soft-touch grip. Top quality German-made extremely high wear Dyneema depower and trim line with a special impregnation coating for resistance to abrasion.

Durable covered mainline, with customised TPU tubing

• Symmetrical multibore landing line channel allows the landing line/flying line to pass through without snagging, regardless of the orientation when deploying or reloading. Crafted from a patented material specifically formulated for high abrasion flexible applications.

Custom low-friction spinning handle

• Unspin your front lines easily.

Adjustable length flying lines 22m (12m + 10m)

• 22m lines have a split at 12m, which is far enough for the bar to travel to completely depower our largest kite when you flag out. Remove the standard 10m top section of flying line and 12m lines are ideal for schools to teach with and for foil racing. 8m and NEW 6m line extensions are available as an accessory for wave riding or tighter kiteloops.

Kook-proof flying line connectors

• Ensure you always set up your flying lines correctly. Designed to be exactly the same length so you can easily change the front (knotted end) and rear (lark's head loop) connectors to match most other manufacturers' kite configurations. Please familiarise yourself with the safety procedures and trimming instructions outlined in your kite?s user manual.

Premium Quick-Release Leash

• The Navigator Control System is supplied with a premium quality freeride Leash with a high load carabiner, soft neoprene cover and non-abrasive elasticised webbing. The NEW leash QR mechanism has been modified to ensure correct orientation is maintained when released for consistent, safe release and reload.

Navigator Connect Interloop (Harness Loop)

Our Toolless Interchangeable Harness Loops come in four sizes for different disciplines. The Navigator Control System comes complete with the 23cm Standard Freeride Loop, so we've packaged the other three interloops as one set. The set includes the Wave/Freeride Short Loop, which enables closer reach for smaller riders; the Freestyle/Unhooked/Wakestyle Long Loop for advanced riders only (no security finger) and the Slide Surf/Foil Loop for ultimate freedom (really excels in toeside riding) and use with rope harness.
