Built for the water ahead
Nova Wing 2026
The Nova is North's balanced, easy-to-use all-round wing, with a wide wind range and light, intuitive handling for freeride wing foiling in flatwater, chop and surf. It has instant up-and-go with direct drive forward, and it is light enough in your hands to accelerate without pumping. The GripLock carbon boom gives you freedom in hand positioning through transitions, and active twist wingtips dump excess power when you get overpowered.
- Carbon UDi tape inside the reduced-diameter leading edge for bend resistance and faster snapback
- Pre-installed GripLock carbon boom with soft EVA grip
- Neutral lift through changes in angle of attack
- Active twist wingtips that dump excess power in overpowered conditions
- N-X6 low-elongation trailing edge panels that dampen flutter
- N-RS3 triple ripstop canopy over an N-Dure Dacron airframe
- DuraLite strategic STPU scuff protection
- Dual valve Hyperflow inflation with interlinking hose and clip
- Six sizes from 3.5m to 7m

Technology
What makes it work.
Carbon UDi Technology
Patent-pending technology from North Sails 3Di for added bend resistance, greater snapback, & more efficient pumping. Lightweight anti-deflection UD Carbon tapes run full length of the LE.
Griplock Carbon Boom
We’ve pre-installed a lightweight, high-strength carbon boom handle with soft EVA grip for better control, less hand fatigue, & lower overall wing weight for faster, more reactive handling.
Neutral Lift
Optimised draft position & depth for user-friendly neutral lift through all angle of attack changes, fewer adjustments in hand positioning & a lighter feel for effortless transitions.
Active Twist Wingtips
Tapering the LE diameter allows the tips to deflect & dump any excess power in overpowered conditions, while reducing the wing's swing weight & drag for improved speed & control.
Balanced Trailering
Less lift generated by the tips reduces the wing’s sensitivity to oscillation & helps to maintain a stable, neutral position when trailering, riding downwind swells, surfing, or walking.
N-X6 Trailing Edge Panels
Durable, lightweight, low-elongation N-X6 panels provide greater TE tension, dampen flutter & help to create a cleaner release with minimal drag.
Dual Valve Hyperflow Inflation
Separate LE & Strut valves, with interlinking hose & clip let you inflate the strut to a higher pressure than the leading edge.
