Was just trying to look up some info on Arrows sails and cant find their website, I keep getting redirected to North-Sails.

Do North now own Arrows or am I missing something?

Im pretty sure Arrows no longer exists. I think they were closed down last year or even earlier.

Yep... Arrows are now part of windsurfing history.

They were owned by Boards and More... The company that owns F2, Fanatic, Mistral, North Sails...

I forget the history before this, but I think Boards and More acquired Arrows in 2002 or 2003, and Arrows was wound up at the start of our 2006 season.

I think they had an R&D loft in WA, perhaps someone who was in WA then knows what happened

Arrows sails are no longer as of late 2005 early 2006. The brand/franchise still exists so theoretically it could be resurected if you had some cash to buy it!

It's a shame because they made good sails at the end, i've had a few and they have some neat touches that i haven't seen elsewhere and they're visually impressive as well.

Ant Baker used to live/work for them in Perth, i think Alberto in Surfshack used to them all pretty well.

Cheers
