I love the North stuff even though the supply has always been challenging here in the uk.
the stuff is all good and good value for what you get.
their website now only shows previous years equipment and has the feel of a brand on its last legs.
any one know anything?
I think it will be a shame if they disappear
Looks like a big reorganisation is happening. Mike Raper is leaving as brand director unfortunately. Maybe Ulli can add something about whats going on exactly.
The article I read says the 26/27 product is complete and will start flowing out March/April. Sounds like it was a good handoff.
I've heard that whole the product team in New Zealand has already been let go, so maybe Uli is gone too. Looking on the North Actionsport site there are lots of job vacancies, which I hope they have filled if the old team are gone already or there could be issues.

Yes I heard they shut the New Zealand office and offered job positions in the Netherlands, which nobody took up !!
Looks like the company is being run by accountants now so is probably going to die a death of zero innovation and cost cutting designs !

That would be too bad. I almost switched to North foils last fall. Ended up trying a Code S foil. Loved it and went that route.

A quick google search shows that they're only looking for graphical designers mostly. But ill give you an A+ for drama!
