NORTH SAILS

In 1957 at age 30, Lowell North decided to leave aerospace engineering to become a sailmaker. He never looked back.
North never relied on intuition, he was only swayed by what could be quantified, so he built a company based on science, using constant testing and rigorous scientific methodology to build better sails. And that changed sailmaking forever.

NORTH KITEBOARDING

North Kiteboarding has been a global market leader and one of the world's favorite kiteboarding brands since 2001. What absolutely unites the brand is a desire for a more intuitive, more natural and more powerful experience between water, wind and sky. Born to dare in the highest waters, committed to the unknown.
