Does anyone has any info/photos on the 2013 North surfboard line.
Their site has the new twin tip line but not the surfboard line.

2013 North surfboards are $1000.00. Wow! Really? So much for that idea.

Whip X-Surf 5'10 would go well with my 6'1 Wainman but i think i'll just have to wait to see how much they will retail.

Omg. These board are so ugly. North makes amazing kites and boards but guys pls better graphic! The 2012 boards were jewels, from construction to aesthetic. I couldn't resist buying both the Wam and the Kontact. Great boards. Definitely not going to replace them with these 2013s....

Forget this rubbish, I owned different kitesurf boards... Wam, Kontact, Naish Global... then I switched to a Tuflite from CI all merrick and what a different... this is real surfing. Now I am riding a std PU Channel Island Semipro 12...(500€), much better than any other board I had ever ride, smooth, precise and real surf (of course strapless). The only problem is some pressure dents if heavy jumping, but nothing to worry about it. A very good choice is also BWS Ian Alldredge model or Josh Mulcoy Pro Model..
Std kitesurf boards are ugly, not suitable, heavy and very expensive... you just pay the logo on the board.

That is the reason why Cabrinha is offering std PU boards... check website. I think the others (North, NAish, Slighshot...) will adopt this initiative soon.
Forget bamboo, EPS... robust but heavy, it does not surf.

But I did it in June, now price is 590 euro (shipping was included) and top customer service. It takes 6 weeks since the boards are manufactured to your specs.
