A day in the life haha, I think Nate's trying to say there is a heritage with the designers but they produced something unique. For sure they didn't reinvent the wheel or make a "game changer" The two stage arc does make a difference however. The gear is really lofty but has a snappy feel. You'll have to try it out. - Rygo
North Orbit vs. Slingshot Rsptor. Can you make a true review? They are both announced as a boosting machines with the almost same performance. So what is really boosting monster for big air? Could you please do tis compare?
Hi Guys, I'm riding a Duotone Dice(10) with a Click Bar, do you think that it's fine to use the same Click Bar with the North Carve(13)?! Thanks in advance and keep up with the great work!
The new North gear looks very much like Duotone stuff. For example, the semi-transparent chicken loop or the black stripes on the kites's leading edge. I'm wondering if that is such a good idea given the history.
Boards and more, the team who was behind the original North brand is now Duotone. Same kites, same team, same everything; except the name. This is a new brand with the old name. Confusing we know. There's a bit of content online that explains it more thoroughly as my explanation is terse. - Rygo
Paul Epp Hi Paul. This is why we made it clear at the into that this is not a review. Stand by and we'll do reviews this fall. The fact is, we've not had enough time on the kites to do an in depth review yet. Cheers - Rygo
so North is not the pre Duotone North..? not confusing at all.. even the logo is identical.. pulling our leg.. surprised theyre not getting sued for brand confusion.. will stick with the baby goat brand.. Cabrinha..
@@bustedbone14 Yes, two different Brands. Duotone is the same team that used to be North. Same designers, same riders and the same kites. North is a new brand with the old name.
I'm sorry but if you get one of these top brands their all pretty much the same but really sick overview love the boards but I have road a naish kite since I was 7
hey man u getting famus in brazil .looks like u made this video in brazil :).. come kite at top number 1 place in the globe. after this shit pass.lol.. feel free to be at my place ( Jericoacoara villa Ceara Brazil...)
Duotone is for sure the brand we all knew and loved. We still do! The classic gear and team that made it happen all these years. North is new but they want to move forward as their own brand. After getting to know the team behind the brand, it's clear to us they are passionate about the sport and driving forward with a fresh perspective. We totally get both sides though. It's a funny thing with the split. I'm stoked we're getting new perspectives and toys. What kites are you using this year? - Rygo
Androsmeq Hey mate, this account is for a kiteshop. MACkite. We carry both brands. We tried all the new gear and now we're sharing our first thoughts. The week before this trip Blake and I were testing all the Duotone gear in Spain. We'll be doing loads of actual reviews on both brands in the coming year. Cheers- Rygo
Andreas Poke just more toys to play with my friend. If this doesn't appeal to you, give Liquid Force a try. I've been loving their gear this year. They have been around since the beginning and come at a fraction of the price. - Rygo
It feels similar to other kites you've flown before but it's nothing like anything you've flown before.

@@MACkiteboarding I dare you to sponsor me
@@harrycooper765 I dare you to stfu 🤬
hi, what you could tell about reach? it is similar to Evo?
Good overview, thanks guys!

That’s a good one!
Looks like surfboards come with FCSii boxes but original style FCSi fins??
Hi Guys,
I'm riding a Duotone Dice(10) with a Click Bar, do you think that it's fine to use the same Click Bar with the North Carve(13)?!
Thanks in advance and keep up with the great work!
You can. Just swap the pigtails or get some PKS Universal Adaptors. Set the v split lower as well. -Rygo
@@MACkiteboarding Okay, I'm gonna buy the PKS Universl Adaptorss and set the v split lower, thanks Rygo!
Nicely done, thanks.

Isn’t north the same company as duotone?

Looking forward to more reviews north 2020 keep it up!
Cheers! We're looking forward to spending more time on the gear! - Rygo
Really good overview thank you!
Didn’t north stop making kites and isnt it changed to only duotone?
Boards and more, the team who was behind the original North brand is now Duotone. Same kites, same team, same everything; except the name. This is a new brand with the old name. Confusing we know. There's a bit of content online that explains it more thoroughly as my explanation is terse. - Rygo
MACkiteboarding ohw thank you :))
For those who are confused: North is Duotone and Cabrihna is not quite North, therefore North is not North. Welcome to the new North.
@08:53 : if you decide to go for North, beware of buying Kite with "Valve OK" and not the opposite..... ;-)
Where are these kites made? North Kiteboarding.
Sri Lanka
I really want to try that orbit
Joao Silva You should. The Orbit is amazing. - Rygo
Dakhla is not in western sahara .
Dakhla is in morroco or if you prefer morrocan's sahara
That depends on who you ask..
Let aside that it is Morocco and not Morroco,Sahara is a desert while Morocco is a country,and geography is not an opinion.
Watched this whole video thinking this was the new Duotone kit, I'm confused now.
North is Duotone and Cabrihna is not quite North, therefore North is not North.
Everything is just awesome no words about downsides, This makes me think is that your opinion is bought by North 🤪

@@paul.454 Cheers mate. Stand by - Rygo

MACkiteboarding what happened to duotone then?
Duotone is doing quite well. We're releasing a great deal of videos on the new line up shortly here. - Rygo
@@MACkiteboarding are they a separate thing now?
@@bustedbone14 Yes, two different Brands. Duotone is the same team that used to be North. Same designers, same riders and the same kites. North is a new brand with the old name.
Mark Powers so Duotone is the real deal. North is a brand new company
P Z yeah exactly
I'm sorry but if you get one of these top brands their all pretty much the same but really sick overview love the boards but I have road a naish kite since I was 7

I feel like the new “North” is trying to trick people into thinking it is the original company. I will stick with Duotone

I feel that you got payed to promote north now that duotone is clearly the top

Tired of new brands, new models and raising prices! !!!
Andreas Poke just more toys to play with my friend. If this doesn't appeal to you, give Liquid Force a try. I've been loving their gear this year. They have been around since the beginning and come at a fraction of the price. - Rygo
MACkiteboarding Wow, you’re a gem! Thank you.
Orbit loops really well, similar to a Rebel or Rally, really? Another brand that was not needed. There are too much brands now and all are struggling.
the orbit feels like an older switchblade. it feels nothing like a rebel. personally i like the 2020 switchblade way better.
Thanks for the feedback Scott. I'm a fan of the Switchblade myself. What about the Orbit felt like an older switchblade to you?
min 8:25 OOOMMMMGGG!!!!
The duotone twintip designs look shit, the old north look much better
min 6:25 OMG!
I want see kite not kiters!!!:-(
Thanks for the feedback my friend. - Rygo
