North – Page 2 – Element Sports

North Kiteboarding and North Foiling are part of North Actionsports Group, owned by North Technology Group. The Brand and Product Development team are based in New Zealand, home of the America's Cup and an R&D playground exposed to wind and swell from all directions.

The North brand started in 1957 when Olympic gold medallist and trained engineer, Lowell North, sought to change the world of sailing through precision technology. North pioneered advanced computer modelling in the design and manufacture processes.

Engineered. Refined. Intuitive.

Nothing teaches design like nature. That’s why the North design process starts and finishes on the water. Every day we are inspired – and humbled - by nature’s engineering genius and her beautiful, intuitive simplicity. To that, we add cutting-edge technology and decades of expertise.
