2006 North Jaime Pro Kiteboard
The new 2006 North Jaime Pro kiteboard is unmatched in performance. The new outline allows for smoother turning while
maintaining the Jaime Pro's signature pop. The center width and the lengths remain the same as last year's boards adding
slightly more curvature towards the tips. This outline makes the 06 Jaime Pro a more versatile kiteboard for both wave riding
and freestyle tricks. It is extremely light weight and easy to maneuver. If you could only buy one kiteboard, this is definitely the
board to buy. Board comes complete with North straps, pads, TFC fins, and grab handle. Straps and fins are great. Foot pads
are good for wave riding and cruising, but for hard landings I prefer a softer foot pad.


Construction - Solid snowboard construction continues to make the Jaime Pro one of the most durable kiteboards on the market.
This board has excellent flex and can handle aggressive down loops. Six inserts (three on each side) on each foot allow for more
adjustments and a wider stance. Last year's board only had four inserts. The rocker this year looks about the same, however this
year's board rides faster than previous models.
Upwind Performance - The 06 Jaime Pro has excellent upwind performance. Thin rails, 2-inch TFC fins, and feather weight allows
even the Jaime Small to out perform larger competing brands on light wind days.
Sizes Tested -
Small 124cm: Perfect kiteboard for light weight riders and high winds
Medium 127cm: Medium size riders and aggressive freestyle tricks
Large 130cm: Great for heavier riders, light wind kiting, or beginners
North Kiteboarding made an XL - 132cm this year for light winds, however, we did not test it.
