North Kiteboarding
I’ve been working with North ever since my very first World Cup competition in 2003 thus it’s no surprise that my career in kiting has skyrocketed right from its inception!
Intensive product research and development since the inception of kiteboarding puts North at the cutting edge of the latest changes in terms of technical development and trends. Setting new standards through non stop development and always try for the best, a concept that’s reflected in the quality and performance of kites, boards and accessories.
Vast amount of time is being spent testing, refining and tuning before North products hit the shelves all around the globe. Every line of kites is brought to the point where it will satisfy just about any user, while at the same it is refined to be biased toward one type of user or one type of conditions more than another to ensure the best kites in the world. This concept enables you to identify the gear that suits your personal taste, needs and riding style the best. Today the wide range of North kites is aimed at:
New School: Whether you want to do powered handle passes or fly horizontally through the air in a kite-loop, these kites have the top-end performance you need allowing you to learn the latest New School moves and execute them in their most extreme form.
Freestyle: This versatile gear permits first attempts at power moves just as well as cruising on light wind days. In short, a huge range of use for many styles riding no matter whether you prefer to ride hooked-in, jump high and try un-hooked.
Freeride: With North Kiteboarding’s freeride gear everything is comfortable but nothing is extreme. It offers a balanced range of use from carving to cruising with optimum comfort and high edge grip for pure pleasure!
Wave: Whether you tackle monster outer-reef breaks or play in the beach break at your home spot, this gear is made for cutbacks and bottom turns. Rip it up!
Speed: If you want to try the fast lane on the water you will need perfect control at high speeds and in all situations. These boards and kites take you ever closer to the sonic wall.
Innovation is one of North Kiteboarding’s cornerstones. With each item that North Kiteboarding’s designers develop they try to create a new and independent product that truly deserves the label “innovation”. Every season North Kiteboarding shakes up the industry with new innovations. The impressive portfolio of innovations comprises today milestones in kite-safety and performance, amongst them: LOAD DISTRIBUTION PANELS, FLAT DELTA GEOMETRY, LEADING EDGE BRIDLES, ARAMID REINFORCEMENT, 5TH ELEMENT WITH 4 LINE ABILITY, CAM BATTENS, KOOK PROOF CONNECTORS, HEX RIBS, IRON HEART, VARIO CLEAT, and so many more….!
” I’m incredibly stoked and proud to be part of such a dynamic company. Last but certainly not least: Where other companies have failed to recognize the importance of women’s kiteboarding, North has embraced it and has been extremely supportive and encouraging ever since my first World Cup event and I would like to take this opportunity to say ‘Thank you North Kiteboarding’ !
