The North Jaime Pro 2013 Series is bridges the gap between free-ride and freestyle. There are a number of reasons why the Jaime is the longest running and best selling twin tip model of all time. It could be it?s super versatile feel, all-round performance and ability to adapt to a huge range of conditions. It could also be its incredibly smooth feel through choppy water and butter soft landings. Some even say it?s the fact that despite the Jaime?s comfy and easy free-ride feel it is still able to produce explosive pop similar to our more powerful new-school boards. But it?s probably mostly due to the fact that Jaime (the man himself!) continues to relentlessly strive year after year to refine and improve his model not only for his own personal enjoyment and progression as a rider, but to please all those loyal fans out there that just can?t get enough of the Jaime board and can?t wait to see what?s next!

Possibly the most universal board in the North range, the North Jaime 2013 has plenty of pop for throwing powered new-school tricks yet maintains a smooth, comfy feel.

The Jaime still leads the way in terms of construction, utilizing a new carbon beam on the top and bottom, which allows us to save up to 10% off the weight and delivers more progressive flex and pop. This season the Jaime comes with an even more freestyle oriented outline for more aggressive unhooked freestyle performance.

To keep the comfortable freeride roots, North have scooped the board more and made the flex slightly softer. With 7 years of pedigree behind it the 2013 Jaime is the most refined board North have built, the flex is comfortable, yet still allows riders to be aggressive. Carving is smooth and predictable thanks to the smooth outline and the double V shaped bottom gives excellent grip. Jaime Herraz defines a certain style of kiteboarding, his signature board emulates that style, strap in and ride like Jaime!

Combining new-school performance characteristics with plug-and-play free-ride comfort, the Jaime is a legendary, progressive, all-terrain machine and truly a benchmark in a league of its own.

The subtle combination of a round rocker, single concave and Responsive Centre Flex makes the North Jaime extremely smooth through the chop, yet still aggressive enough to keep up with the young guns with amazing pop and a solid, positive feel on edge.

Featuring North's most high-tech construction, harmonic flex and S-bend fins, the Jaime?s emphasis on early planing and great upwind ability make it ideal for gusty winds, to keep you planing through the holes. The 139cm offers plenty of reserves for heavier people even in tricky, gusty conditions, where a little extra planing surface is needed.

The combination of medium flex and new carbon light-wood construction dampens the chop and gives the North Jaime Pro new levels of comfort and gives you the best of both worlds: New school performance and free-ride comfort.

The secret to the Jaime's huge range lies in it's asymmetrical bottom concave that combines a new-school rocker in the centre of the board for speed with a rounder scoop line along the rails for a forgiving ride.

Throughout the test process - North have developed a new construction that translates into more comfort and livelier performance when compared to it's predecessors.
