The birth of Duotone Kiteboarding did not come without its challenges. In 2017, rumors began to circulate that the existing kite brand from Austrian company Boards & More, known as North, would not continue under the name North Kiteboarding. Eventually, after months of speculation about various brand names for the 'new' kite brand from Boards & More, the decision was made, and Boards & More continued with North under the new brand name Duotone Kiteboarding. In essence, not much has changed. The designers have remained, Duotone Kiteboarding still possesses the same passion for kitesurfing, and they continue to produce with the same, if not better, quality. The same model names for kites and boards such as the Duotone Vegas, Duotone Evo, Duotone Rebel, Duotone Neo, and Duotone Jaime remain. For a significant period, Duotone produced their kiteboards in the world's first snowboard production facility powered by 100% clean energy: CAPITA Mothership. Up to the present day, Duotone continues to have their kiteboards produced by SWS Board Technology in Dubai.

The product history of kitesurfing at Duotone dates back to 2001. Even earlier, in 1957, Lowell North started the brand specializing in sailing. Later, the interest shifted to windsurfing, and the precursor of Duotone began producing windsurfing sails. In the nineties, the potential of kitesurfing was recognized, and in 2000, under the leadership of Ken Miller, David Johnson, and Till Eberle, the first kite was released under the name of the predecessor of Duotone Kiteboarding: the Rhino 1. We now know that many kite classics would follow, such as the Duotone Vegas, Duotone Rebel, Duotone Neo, Duotone Evo, and more. All of them have their roots in the same passion for the sport of kitesurfing. In the past, Boards & More conducted an extensive search for a place where Duotone kites could be manufactured with the highest quality, and this commitment to quality is reflected in today's Duotone kitesurfing products of the highest caliber.

In addition to the Duotone kites, development in Duotone boards is always changing. For every kitesurfing level and style, Duotone has a board that perfectly complements it. From twin-tip kitesurf boards to wave or directional surfboards, Duotone boards ride like no other and offer Austrian quality. While kiteboards used to be relatively flat with few channels, they are now packed with the latest technologies within the kitesurfing realm. Duotone's latest significant innovation in kiteboards is the 3D designed and cut double diffuser, which you can find in kiteboards like the Duotone Jaime and Duotone Team series. This bottom provides even more grip and softer landings! Also, the space flex tips of your board make it even easier to ride through choppy waters. Duotone Kiteboarding will continue to innovate in the kitesurfing sport, and we will welcome these innovations with open arms.

Duotone Kiteboarding has demonstrated in the past year that they produce kites, kiteboards, and kitesurfing accessories of the quality you would expect from a top-tier brand.
