Has North lost its name? Anyone seen this topic at kiteforum?
kiteforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2399287
But who owns the designs?
if B&m then for North to come back it would be starting from scratch.
So does this mean more Flysurfer kites on the beach!?
Wow - a day when everyone is out on a real kite at last. 
FFS. Just started changing over to North from Ozone. Mainly for the neo which is supposedly the best wave kite second only to cab drifter.
Reading North's claim looks like B&M are contracted to put the North mark on all their 2019 gear and they're trying to wriggle out of it. See what happens there. Don't know if it applies to kites as well. Hopefully someone will still make spare parts for the current product lines.

I don't think it will disappear, maybe just a rebranding.

Cant tell if this post is serious or not. If it is, id say its pretty good indication that North and Cab marketing are working
I think it is proven by science.
(Science is a dude who rides at our beaches who always has the latest North gear and a RE harness)
Sad day but who cares.
Will no doubt be the same good quality product, but with a new name.
Oh no who cares 
I tried all the brands and just tried a Neo yesterday and didnt like it to slow
Also i hate the click bar just prefer the old easy depower sistem
kitesurfers love the big brands but that doenst make you kite better

Yeah but I enjoy kiting a lot more knowing I am on good quality gear, with good backup and resale. Kiting time is precious for those of us that work and pay for our kites, not pimp ourselves for free gear.
Oh, and maybe a little more importantly, a company that might be around for a while, not drop their pants when private equity comes sniffing, or take on mega stars and then go bankrupt.
Happy to drive a 14 year jap old car that's more reliable and better than any of the overpriced euro crap and enjoy quality kites.

So drive a bomb, but spend it all on "quality" kites? Sounds a recipe for a marriage breakup

Same here mate
Yes i know but you just want use people to do free advertise for this big brands but not me get @#?%&
Looks like Airton likes the Lorocopter
No you just advertise the free or cheap kites you are currently riding (oh and boards to).
You are full of Sh1t, like a moth circling it's own narcissistic light...
But ...pretty darn good on a strapless SB. Credit where credit is due.

Looks like just another Big Brand lover
just like the girls love the fashion brands you only paying for the label
yes but i understand you have to do that other wise you lose your massive Team rider discount
There's more to it then getting pics in local newspapers and doing "spinny dick tricks" thru the Red and Yellows like a hero.
I'm glad you moved on because you are a liability.
And I'm even more glad that i no longer work in the industry because now i can say what i think.
