I'll have to change my name now North Kiteboarding is no more..

[briansuntrax]

Am sure I recall Fanatic kites back in the day - flat design with inflatable leading edge and battens as struts ?

There were Fanatic twin tips at least up until 2008.

South Kites used to be a kitesurfing brand. Now known as "Magic Bruce".

duotonekiteboarding.com has also been recently registered (23 January): https://www.whois.com/whois/duotonekiteboarding.com

If there rumours were to be true, "Duotone" sounds like a poor choice.

Already posted on 9th post of this thread.

nope, different domain name.

That's true. But same root name, registrant, and contact.

If this new entity wants to call itself "DKB" I suspect it'll have a legal fight on it's hands.

hence the "also": has also recently been registered.

From what I hear North Sails Group (USA) owns the North brand. They made an offer to take over Boards & More (Germany), which was declined. The renewal of the licence to use the brand name was tied to this acquisition.

As purdyd demonstrated above, just one of many registrations.

I hope to something like ION KITEBOARDING or TRUE KITEBOARDING , that’s the best way i think and for sure sounds better than DUOTONE
