Seen on the Generic Foiling Podcast insta feed (from Hood River)
I thought I start a new thread..in case we get near 130.000 views (like the North sonar one 
)
Haha looks like he's having a great time! 
What we need is inflatable wings with drastically smaller LE diameters, more durable lightweight materials, and more refined aerodynamics, not more pool toys. Maybe in 2026.!
Well spotted. I'm guessing there will be at few more pocket kite options by the end of the year.
Very keen to see if Ozone release something given their expertise with the XXLite paragliders.
Yes! So good, bring on the pocket wing options and evolution. So stoked to see this concept gaining traction
of course this one will come with typical North marketing terms likw n-weave fabric... "direct-drive geo handle"... what else.. "max-float canopy".. "carbon no-stretch lines" and more of that whatever
Ohhhh, this is going to be huge. Lot's of wingers have zero interest in jumping and just want to moe the lawn or ride swell. This style of wing combined with ML/DW boards makes so much sense. Bagged out canopies should be a thing of the past too. Hopefully cheaper in the long run as well.
From kitepuertorico IG story: an around the neck - hip pouch it seems. Seems more info coming today
Ah spotted, you ask people not to post thing and next minute here we are. We started on it a while ago as a rescue device to get back to shore if a wing burst, but the use case has really changed lately. We are in the final phases of development of the Tow Kite with production starting soon. It will release March - can't go into to much more as we are still coming up with all the marketing names.
I've been super-impressed with North's offerings lately it seems like their product management is on top of things. Their wings look good, their downwind boards look good an I just saw their new Launchpad drop-stitch dockstart launcher, what a clever product! I admit when Duotone broke away I was skeptical of what North would be doing, but it seems like they are on a great track.
