Well, rumor has it that we might see North Sails Kites one day.
Who knows.
But you know how the rumor about Duotone started...and it’s not a rumor anymore.
So I give it quiet some possibility to happen.

If you missed out on the 2016 5th line North Rebel it’s already too late....nothing to touch it since.

Rumor that Cabrinha and North sails are talking together.

Some interesting things are going to happen over the next few months.
1. Boards and More is going to spend heavy marketing dollars to support the new Duotone brand
2. I am wondering who is going to pick-up the northkiteboarding.com domain name? (Boards and More or North Sails?)
3. How is Board and More going to manage the spare parts for the 2018 and earlier year models?

1. For sure
2. Good question. I think B&M is the owner of it ... North Sails needs to sue for it?
3. I don't think B&M will not support it's customers with older parts.

If they spend the same ammount on Duotone as with North, you will see the brand name everywhere anyway.

1. Sure
2. I'm guessing B&M and the link will redirect to the new website
3. Why would this be an issue? It will be the same parts they have in their stock. Very few spare parts have the NKB logo on it.

I read an interview with BM manager and he said DT will support older products, even the 6 months extended warranty.

I guess its a translation of english text, but I could not find the source. But here you are. Article is in polish

Chrome does its job easy enough translating it from Polish to whatever language you want.
In the end, noting bad is happening for the riders, and the brand just gets more liberty to do what it wants.
I'm very exited to read that they are developping a lot more product for foiling as they have definitely some catching up to do with other brands.
But that picture shows a new fuselage and wings. lets hope it still fits the speedster mast !!
