The 2026 North Foils collection is presented as a comprehensive, integrated ecosystem designed to bridge the gap between rider and nature across various disciplines, including wing foiling, surf foiling, and downwind exploration. The collection emphasizes technical refinement and “rider-driven innovation,” focusing on cleaner aerodynamics and intuitive handling. By offering a modular range of wings, boards, and high-performance foil components, North aims to provide a seamless experience where the equipment “disappears” beneath the rider, allowing for a pure focus on the rhythm of the water.
Wings
The wing lineup focuses on stability, power, and specialized performance for different wind conditions:
- Nova: The flagship freeride wing, designed for balance and stability across a wide wind range with a focus on intuitive handling.
- Nova Pro: An upgraded version of the Nova using advanced materials and refined shaping for a lighter, stiffer, and more reactive feel.
- Loft Pro: Specifically engineered for light wind performance, providing efficient forward drive to unlock sessions in marginal conditions.
- Rover Parawing: A compact wing designed for downwind exploration; it pulls the rider onto the foil and then packs down for hands-free swell riding.
Boards
The board range is built around the concept of “connection,” with shapes tailored for different skill levels and styles:
- Seek: The foundational board in the range, offering stability and forgiveness for progressing riders while remaining efficient.
- Seek Pro: A performance-oriented version of the Seek, featuring a lighter and stiffer construction for heightened responsiveness and control at high speeds.
- Swell Pro: A compact, agile board tuned for wave riding, designed for early lift and tight, carving maneuvers.
Foil Systems
The underwater components focus on hydrodynamics and reduced drag to enhance the “glide” feel:
- Ultra UHM 73 Carbon Sonar Mast: A high-modulus carbon mast designed for maximum stiffness and minimal drag.
- Speed S178v2 & S208v2 Stabilizers: Updated stabilizers refined for better flow and speed.
- Freeride MA950v2 Front Wing: A versatile front wing designed to provide a balanced blend of lift and speed for freeride foiling.
The 2026 North Foils collection is described as their most comprehensive offering to date, engineered as a “complete ecosystem” where every component—wings, boards, and foils—is designed to work in harmony. The collection is built around the philosophy of technical refinement and “rider-driven innovation,” aiming to provide equipment that feels intuitive and “disappears” beneath the rider, whether they are engaging in powered freeride, surf foiling, or hands-free downwind exploration.
