North Navigator Control System - Freestyle

The go-to 5-line bar from North for old-school freestyle kiters

Are you a dedicated freestyle rider who wants to train your unhooked tricks in full control at your favorite spot? The North Navigator Control System - Freestyle is built for Freestyle/Wakestyle kiters flying modern 5-line kites like the new North Pulse 2025 Kite. This bar combines the trusted comfort, safety, and refined control of the popular Navigator bar—now in a setup specifically made for technical freestyle—with one key difference: the 5-line configuration.

The Navigator Control System - Freestyle features a Long Freestyle Chickenloop without a chicken finger, making unhooking smoother. It also includes a longer leash—great for handlepasses or tricks that require more freedom of movement. Thanks to the Freestyle Leash Ring system, partial flagging is possible without getting tangled. The bar also features a spinning leash ring with a rotating leash pin that prevents leash twisting during spins and makes clipping your carabiner easier. Need to eject? The kite flags out safely via the reliable quick release. Safety and ease of use come together in the patented Connect Quick Release, which can be easily clicked back in—even in high wind or strong current. It’s ISO-compliant and part of North’s modular Toolless Interloop system, which lets you swap loops without tools. The LockGuard ensures you don't accidentally release during a trick. You’ll feel every movement from the kite thanks to the strong SK99 Liros Dyneema lines. The 5th line—color-coded blue for clarity—was added specifically for C-kite shapes, helping to maintain profile integrity and improving relaunch.

The bar itself is crafted with thoughtful details: soft microtexture grip, a slightly oval shape for intuitive hand placement, and color-coded bar ends inspired by North’s sailing heritage (red = port, green = starboard).

In short, the North Navigator Control System - Freestyle is the ideal bar for riders who want to train freestyle tricks with a reliable, user-friendly setup. Whether you're learning your first unhooked moves or have handlepasses dialed, this bar will help you progress with confidence every session.

Important! This is a 5-line bar, only compatible with modern 5-line C-kites!
