Normally availability of their new products is around September.
But already in August they demo the new stuff.
In August we have the World Cup in Germany and also a huge demo at the German tour the week before.
On both events I expect to see B&M demoing their 2019 gear...with whatever name they decided for

I´m North customer from the very start and not happy loosing value on my current equipment. Rebranding is always commercial shit for customers.

IMO, the success of ION is, that it is independent from other kite brands...a Cabrinha rider wouldn't want to wear a North lycra...but an ION is ok.
Now making all North to ION will have that problem...
So I doubt ION will happen.
You're right. And not only that but ION also has windsurfing and other sports' accessories.
The Duotone logo was seen on a windsurfng sail and I doubt they'll use the same brand for windsurfing and kitesurfing.
Would also be interesting to find out if North Sails will come out with their own line of kitesurfing products and, if so, will they buy an existing producer or start from scratch? Maybe they'll sell or give rights to the use of the brand to someone else. The North brand is too valuable in kitesurfing to just abandon it...

That's old. It has been the official NKB hashtag for a while. For some reason they changed from #northkiteboarding a while back.
