North Kiteboarding Vario Footstraps:
The tried and tested Vario Combo is once again an integral part of North's collection. The Vario Combo has been completely reworked and is now easier to mount, more compatible and more comfortable.
The new design of the Vario Buckles features modified strap insertions that substantially simplify mounting. The ergonomically shaped Vario Pad still convinces with its high comfort and the proven anti-slip structure guarantees a firm grip in all situations.
The new Vario Strap
offers increased size adjustment through the optimized Velcro closure.
Adjusting the size is now much quicker and easier. This is particularly
important if you have to use neoprene booties in cold conditions or
if different riders use the same board. The Vario Combo is compatible with all North Kiteboarding boards of any product generation.
North Kiteboarding Entity (NTT) Footstraps:
North Kiteboarding know every foot is different. The new Entity Combo now comes with a whole range of innovative features such as the NTT ContactPad or the NTT SplitStrap. The entire product once again sets new standards in the evolution of kite sports. The NTT is quick and easy to mount. It offers a variety of settings for a perfect fit.
The NTT has been designed and tested for use together with the new Track System. “The Track” is the new mounting system of our twintips. In connection with The Track, the NTT unfolds its full potential of individual settings, many of which are completely new in kite sports.
The NTT Contact Pad consists of the new, redesigned EVA footpad and the NTT ContactFrame. The ergonomically shaped footpad was developed in cooperation with the leading experts in ergonomics. The Hexagonal Density Control Structure is a new feature. This structure helps reduce pressure in sensitive areas of the foot and contributes to the pad’s low weight. The newly designed Anti-Slip surface ensures a good grip, even in very rough landings and radical moves. Furthermore, the pad is supplied with three NTT Heel Cushions of varying hardness: “soft” for more comfort, “hard” for better control and “medium” for the golden mean.
The NTT ContactFrame is the intelligent basis of the entire footpad that is made of fiberglass reinforced plastic. Its weight-optimized construction perfectly adapts to the shape of our boards. The advantage of this design and material is that the board’s flex characteristics are not influenced in any way. The NTT Contact Frame envelops the footpad and reliably transfers forces to the board. The NTT ContactPad has direct contact with the board, which enhances the board feeling. For even better fit, the NTT ContactPad is available in two sizes (S/M + L/XL)! The entire package combines individual fit, comfort, control and functional design on a completely new level!

DescriptionThe North Select Textreme 2018 is the ultimate kiteboard, built with some of the most advanced techniques and materials around. It’s the fastest, lightest and most responsive board in the range and is perfect for freeride and freestyle. The 2018 Select now utilises a new 2 Channel mono concave underside using smaller fins to improve its early planing characteristics.
Textreme Carbon offers excellent durability and flex characteristics, whilst being 30% lighter than standard carbon. This futuristic material is what gives the North Select its responsive nature underfoot. By combining this with a super fast rocker line and progressive flex the board really comes alive.
Whilst the board delivers amazing pop, it is also exceedingly comfortable when riding through chop! The Select is the most responsive, technologically advanced kiteboard on the market, jump on and feel the future!
While the 2018 tips have been made wider, they have also been rounded to ensure a smooth ride through chop and aid the carving characteristics. The flex has been tuned to give the board an even more comfortable feeling through chop and give the board fantastic pop. It has a lively crisp feel underfoot and is very responsive to rider input.
Jumping on the Select is fantastic; the flex works with the rider to ensure you get good pop every time. The board offers excellent grip and rides extremely fast when powered, but is still forgiving allowing you to improve as a rider.
The Textreme® STF carbon is Formula 1 tested and 20% lighter than normal carbon fibres allowing North to control the flex in a board like never before.
Usually getting the right flex for a smooth ride and excellent pop is always a compromise, you can’t have both. With the Textreme Carbon technology North can offer the rider unrivalled comfort with blistering performance. Excellent for jumping, the Select is extremely fast and very early to get planing.
The Select utilizes unique high-end Textreme Carbon Technology to deliver the “magic carpet” of our freestyle range!
This precision flex and feel gives you crazy, explosive pop for new-school moves and big jumps and encourages you to step up your riding within minutes of stepping into the straps!
Team Series Textreme:
North Kiteboarding, lead by CEO Till Eberle, focused the composite development of the new Select board on further optimizing the carbon reinforcement used. The choice once again fell on TeXtreme®. To achieve weight savings and the mechanical performance needed in all directions, the best material was an unbalanced 120gsm TeXtreme® fabric, which offers extreme stiffness in one direction. TeXtreme® is a high-performance Spread Tow Fabric used to reduce weight on composites. The material is utilizing two proprietary technologies; Tow Spreading and Tape Weaving. First the carbon fiber is spread into thin flat tapes which then are used in weaving the tapes into a fabric, STF. As the fibers are oriented relatively straighter and the fabric structure consumes less resin which reduces matrix dead weight the combination of these novel technologies renders in improved mechanical performance, superior surface finish and significant weight savings.

Track System:
Due to new tricks and an increased variety of people who engage in the sport, it has become more and more important that the entire equipment can be individually adjusted.
For this reason North have set out to develop a multifunctional mounting system for their boards. What North envisaged was a solution that would allow a wide range of adjustments as well as quick and easy mounting of the footpads without having a negative influence on the board’s flex and weight.
The result of this effort is a system that meets all our requirements. North proudly present the new THE TRACK SYSTEM!
The Track System features two ultrasonic welded tracks made of fibreglass reinforced plastic that are laminated into their boards in the production process. The tracks are then CNC milled out of the finished board.
The Track Nuts provide the connection with the footpad. The Track Nuts are made of non-corrosive brass and can be freely moved along the track to both sides. This system offers a whole range of possibilities to mount your footpads. One particular advantage is that the flexible tracks do not interfere with the finely-tuned flex of North boards.
The new S-Bend fins offer more pop, are faster, provide more directional stability and engage quicker after fast landings.
Last but for sure not least, rounded center
rails allow a smoother
So grab a new Select 2018 and feel for yourself what all the hype is about!
