On this page, you will find the history of the kite brand North Kiteboarding, how it has evolved, and why we are so excited about North Kiteboarding.

North Kiteboarding the Brand

North Kiteboarding is part of the North Actionsports Group, which is a part of the North Technology Group. The return of North Kiteboarding, previously run by Boards & More, came about after the North Technology Group announced an investment in the North Kiteboarding brand in 2020. Kite enthusiasts worldwide were skeptical - would it be possible to reintroduce a new premium brand to the market 20 years later? With the help of a handful of the most experienced and respected designers, the North Technology Group successfully created a full product range under the name North Kiteboarding. The product line, including kites such as the Orbit, Reach, Carve, and kiteboards like the Atmos, Astra, Focus, and Prime, has received a significant boost in recent years, making North one of the most successful brands to date.

North Kiteboarding History

North was established in 1957 when Olympic gold medalist and trained engineer Lowell North founded the brand. He aimed to revolutionize the sailing world, with North pioneering advanced computer modeling in the design and manufacturing processes. In 2019, the North Technology Group decided to invest in North Kiteboarding and merge with Mystic, giving rise to the current North Actionsports Group. North Actionsports Group is headquartered in the Netherlands and offers the highest quality kiteboard, windsurf, foil, wakeboard, and SUP products. North Kiteboarding succeeded in building a wide range of top-quality kitesurfing gear in a short period of time. In the first year, they introduced their most well-known kite, the North Orbit, along with the Puls and Carve. Later, they added the versatile North Reach to their lineup. Combined with the North Bar and Navigator, these kites ensure progression. Currently, like all other brands, they offer a broad range of high-quality kites, boards, and foils.

North Kiteboarding Development

Without development and innovation, you won't get anywhere. The kitesurfing sport heavily relies on equipment, including kites, kiteboards, and bars. Good equipment makes kitesurfing more enjoyable, easier, and helps you progress faster. All that high-tech kitesurfing gear we use today didn't appear out of nowhere. It went through a long development process, and we're curious about the future of kitesurfing equipment development.


North Kiteboarding Pro-Series

The Pro-Series product line by North represents the highest-performing products specially designed for champions or demanding riders. Products like the Orbit Pro, Atmos Pro Carbon, Charge Pro Futurelite, and Comp Pro Dynalite kiteboards are made from the best materials to deliver more power and performance.


  • -15% lighter overall
  • -5 times stronger against tears
  • -50% less stretch compared to standard Dacron. A very rigid material, especially noticeable in strong winds, resulting in less distortion of the kite's overall structure.
  • -Penta TX is used in the leading edge and the middle strut.

N-Weave45

One of the unique materials North uses in its Pro products is N-Weave45, a newly woven fiber with incredibly high tensile strength. N-Weave45 is stiffer and lighter, helping kites maintain their shape much better in high winds, for example.


  • 3x stiffer in the 0-degree direction
  • 2x stiffer in the 45-degree direction
  • 30% lighter (compared to traditional 176 gsm Dacron)
Matrix N-HTRS

Matrix is a canopy that's virtually stretch-resistant and designed to combine with the N-Weave45 frame. The fabric increases the wind range and ensures the kite retains its shape in the most extreme conditions.


  • Designed to combine with the N-Weave45 frame
  • 2.5x stiffer
  • 5x stiffer in the 45-degree direction

N-Max Dacron

The Reach and the Code Zero use N-Max dacron, making the frame lighter and stiffer without compromising the kite's strength and durability. Thanks to the reduced weight, the kite feels more responsive and will fly more dynamically.


  • 12% lighter
  • 21% less stretch
  • * Compared to standard Dacron (156 gsm)

North Kites Over the Years

North Kiteboarding has quickly introduced a wide range of kites to the market, covering various disciplines. Here's an overview of different North kites:


The North Orbit: The North Orbit is North's flagship. With its 5-strut design, the Orbit delivers incredible performance for big air and sets new personal records. Marc Jacobs won the King of the Air in 2021 with the North Orbit, and Jesse Richman claimed the title the previous year, with Nick Jacobsen taking second place. The North Orbit is a fairly fast five-strut kite. Thanks to this five-strut profile, the Orbit maintains excellent high-end performance, no matter how strong the wind is. It allows you to ride upwind easily and is also suitable for freeriding due to its reliability.


The North Pulse: The North Pulse is a playful three-strut kite designed for versatile freestyle kitesurfers. It offers quick turning and excellent pop with slack for unhooked freestyle tricks. If you want to learn kiteloops or jump higher, the Pulse is a great choice. North Pulse is flown on four lines with a no-pulley bridle system.


The North Reach: The North Reach is North Kiteboarding's all-rounder. Suitable for all levels and riding styles, the Reach offers endless possibilities, whether you want to hydrofoil, wave ride, freestyle, kiteloop, or enjoy relaxed freeriding. High jumps, upwind performance, and effortless relaunch are some of the North Reach's key features.


The North Carve: Specifically designed for wave riders, the Carve excels in waves, but it's also great for beginners due to its accessibility. The Carve offers excellent depower and a wide wind range, making it ideal for wave riding and beginners. It performs well in waves with good drift and quick kite response for optimal use while riding a wave. The Carve has three struts and is flown on four lines with a no-pulley bridle system for direct steering.

North Kiteboarding Kiteboards

North Kiteboarding doesn't just develop its kites with the latest technologies; the development of kiteboards is also a continuous process. North Kiteboarding offers a board for every discipline. As you explore the collection of kiteboards, you'll discover the perfect match for your riding style, allowing you to maximize every session. From twintips to wave and directional surfboards, North's boards incorporate the latest techniques and innovations to provide you with the best possible quality and performance. One of the latest innovative features is the single concave combined with four channels in the tips, found in twintips like the North Atmos Carbon and North Atmos Astra. These channels provide extra grip, allowing you to handle more power and ride even faster. In all North boards, the outline, rocker, and flex are perfectly balanced, making it easier to ride upwind and boost with full confidence. North Kiteboarding will continue to innovate and set new standards in the kitesurfing world in the coming years – we're excited to see what's next!
