The North Nova is a perfectly balanced, user-friendly all-around wing with a huge wind range and light, intuitive handling. Ideal for freeride wing foiling on flat water, in chop, and in the surf. Thanks to the instant power delivery, you'll get on the plane in no time—just pull up and go. The Nova feels exceptionally light in your hands, steers effortlessly, and accelerates easily without excessive pumping. This makes the wing suitable for both beginner foilers and experienced riders looking for maximum efficiency from every session.
The GripLock Carbon Boom comes pre-installed as standard and gives you complete freedom of hand position. The light yet extremely strong carbon handle with a soft EVA grip provides greater control, less hand fatigue, and a lower overall wing weight—ideal for faster, more responsive handling and smoother transitions during jibes and tacks.
To further optimize the frame's stiffness and responsiveness, the Nova features Carbon UDi Technology . This patented (pending) technology, derived from North Sails' 3Di development, utilizes ultralight anti-deflection UD Carbon tapes running the full length of the leading edge. This reduces flex, increases torsional stiffness, and provides a faster snapback effect. The result: a more responsive frame, more efficient pumping, and greater control in all wind conditions.
The Active Twist Wingtips allow the tips to flex in a controlled manner to dissipate excess power when you get overpowered. This lowers swingweight, reduces drag, and gives you extra stability and control at high speed or in rough conditions. Thanks to the Balanced Trailering design, the tips generate less lift, keeping the wing extremely stable and neutral when riding downwind, catching waves, or holding the wing overhead while walking.
For optimal handling, the Nova features Neutral Lift , a cleverly positioned and optimized draft that maintains a light, neutral pressure through every change in angle of attack. This means fewer hand adjustments, greater stability, and easier, effortless transitions.
The trailing edge is constructed from durable, lightweight, and minimal-stretch N-X6 panels . These panels increase tension on the trailing edge, dampen flutter, and deliver a cleaner, more aerodynamic release with minimal drag.
The Dual Valve HyperFlow Inflation System allows you to inflate the leading edge and strut separately. Thanks to its locking clip connection, you can inflate the strut to a higher pressure than the LE, providing increased stiffness and instant power delivery—without the hassle of inflation.
The North Nova is available in six sizes , so you have the perfect setup for every wind and sailing area. The 7m is also a durable and cost-effective option for light winds, ideal for getting out on the water even on marginal days.
