The North kiteboarding brand owned by Boards & More became Duotone in 2019. It aims to be extremely reliable. It offers kiteboarding lines that provide an excellent connection to your kite. Among the new products you will find, for example, the Duotone FLITE99 lines. These lines have an extra 12% strength. Their elongation is reduced by 15% and they have a smaller diameter compared to previous generations of lines. The benefits of the 15% reduced elongation offer a more direct feel to the kite. In addition, the kite is faster due to the reduced diameter, thus reducing drag.
Developing different product worlds
The Duotone brand wants to be a forerunner in the launch of Kitesurfs and Windsurfs. It tends to develop more products around the foil trend in the different disciplines of the French Federation of Free Flight. The brand has best-sellers. These flagship models include the Rebel and the Neo. The kitesurfs are always of the same high quality as those of the North kiteboarding brand.
The know-how acquired over the years has enabled the people behind the Duotone brand to develop high quality and durable products. Since its creation in 2001, Boards & More has been manufacturing top of the range kitesurfing equipment. It continues to do so by trying to bring innovations. In fact, it has been a pioneer in many technologies such as Textreme and Trinity TX, the click bar… In 2021, Duotone has launched Duotone 2021 kites with SLS (Strong Light Superior) technology. The two kites that are equipped with this technology are the NEO kite and the EVO kite. However, if you are a big fan of the original versions and do not want to change at all, you can always buy the original kites.
