Description
North Astra 2026 – playful, powerful and specially designed for lighter riders.
The Astra delivers exceptional performance for lighter riders without sacrificing control, pop, or stability. For 2026, this board has been refined with an even more responsive flex, optimized proportions, and a hybrid biaxial carbon construction that offers the perfect balance of strength, comfort, and control.
The smaller dimensions, narrower stance, and lightweight biaxial hybrid carbon make the Astra ideal for anyone looking for a responsive board with a smooth feel and soft landings. It feels efficient and fast through the water, flies effortlessly upwind, and delivers consistent rail grip and powerful pop—exactly what you need to progress faster.
The exclusive 3DY Beam Technology reinforces the board precisely along the key load paths, so all the power you exert during takeoff is instantly converted into explosive pop. The clever combination of a double concave with a deep V-spine makes landings remarkably soft and predictable, while the outside edge channels provide even more control.
The Astra is optimized for lighter riders, with adjusted length/width ratios and a stance that's 20mm narrower than the Atmos. This ensures stable and precise handling, even during hard landings or technical maneuvers. The medium-high outline curve makes the board playful and easy to carve, with plenty of grip at all times.
