Talking to Mike Raper from North Foils - Passion, Products and Progress

Mike Raper is the Brand Director of North Kiteboarding and North Foils. Mike is extremely passionate about watersports and has an extensive background in the area. We talk through North's philosophy as a brand and their approach to designing foiling gear. We also talk about their new Ranger parawing and midi foil board, and how they work in combination.

In chatting to Mike, I learnt a lot about North Foils and the foiling industry more generally. Noting that I have no affiliation with North, I came away from our discussion impressed with how North have evolved in recent years, developing some great products for foilers at all levels. Enjoy
