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 with his understanding of sail forces and structural loads.

Just like North Kites founder, North’s designers and makers are fascinated by the interplay of the elements and the eternal principles of physics.
