Founded in 2000 and rooted in the sailing heritage of Olympic gold medalist Lowell North, North Kiteboarding is a dominant force in the water sports industry. Originally launched under a licensing agreement, the brand was brought back in-house by the North Technology Group in 2018, recalibrating its design approach with a dedicated R&D team based in New Zealand. This strategic homecoming allowed the brand to leverage the advanced composite and aero-hydro expertise of North Sails, directly informing its product philosophy.
