Welcome

As we wave goodbye to those peak summer months, the autumn swells seem to be making an appearance which is perfect timing as the 2017 Neo has just dropped! Check out the product clip for some extra technical lowdown and visuals of this shredding machine in action. Wanna know more? Head on over to the blog where Ken Winner gives us an insight into what it takes to conceptualise, design and evolve the Neo. Congratulations to team riders Matchu Lopes and Patri McLaughlin for their incredible efforts at the GKA event in Mauritius. There was more success for riders in China at the IKA World Championships for Lewis Crathern and Ines Correira. Tom Hebert's been up to his old tricks again, releasing his 5th instalment of Tom's Kitchen. For everything you need to know about the entire 2017 North Kiteboarding range, the catalogue is now available online. We're stoked to share with you our teaser for the all-new North Kiteboarding Academy, which will hopefully be your inspiration to get you riding like Aaron Hadlow, who's latest video 'Reflection' is nothing short of epic!

Congratulations to Ines Corriera and Lewis Crathern for their sucess at the IKA Kiteboarding World Championships. It was great to see Lewis back in action following his unfortunate accident at the beginning of the year. With all that now behind him he showed off his big air skills with energy and style securing him a well deserved win. In the wave discipline it was our girl Ines who was unstoppable. Clearly enjoying herself, she stayed cool, calm and collected even when the pressure was on, showing a dominant attack with powerful bottom turns and snappy top turns, a champion performance!

Reflection - Aaron Hadlow

Watch as the master of freestyle takes to the mirror flat waters of Sicily on the new 2017 gear. Hadlow never fails to deliver on the action front, but that spot: wow! The combination of the two is what makes this video insane!
