Til Eberle ffs the man who didn't want North to engage in kitesurfing in the first place.
This is a catastrophic blunder of epic proportions imv, as usual, corporate ego's clashing and screwing a totally niche market with their bean counters..

So funny. I've been on North gear for 12 years now and have never heard of this guy. Now, all of a sudden, we see 25 completely staged photos of him surveying all the equipment with his duotone shirt on, acting like he designed it all. Does this guy even kite?

Brand loyalty is not a religion? Is it?
Not for me but hating a brand is

It's funny how brands and marketing play tricks on us.
I saw kiting for the first time in a time and place where pretty much everthing was North, Cabrinha and Naish. And now those are the brands that I buy.
Now I have mainly North kites, but I don't see myself buying Duotone's. I foresee my next kites to be Naish, in spite of the infamous Octopus.

I got more comprehensive and comprehensible information from the PinkDuotonePride thread.

Why do you guys assume Cabrinha clients won't buy ion if they find out the brand has some relation with another brand North/Duodenum?
Brand loyalty is not a religion? Is it?
Post of the day! Duodenum. The first part of the small intestine immediately beyond the stomach, leading to the jejunum.

Sorry I am not buying a kite with the duotone name on it. I read the interview and they somehow they talked themselves into it being a good name. It is bad marketing. The name is clunky and lame. Nobody knows how to pronounce it. It sounds like a vacuum cleaner. I have been a loyal North kiter since I bought my first Vegas in 06.

If you want to know more about Till, then you could read this...
https://www.iksurfmag.com/articles/issu ... influence/
He's super passionate about kiting and is the reason you have all the Rebel's Neo's and Vegas's to play with now. He's a very hands-on guy when it comes to Boards and More, and he kites whenever he can too, pretty handy in the waves...
