Built for the water ahead
Nova Wing 2027
The Nova is North's all-round freeride wing, designed for every rider and every condition. Whether you're carving flatwater, riding downwind swells, or surfing waves, the Nova gives you the confidence to do it all in one wing. For 2027, a new more aerodynamic strut shape, refined airframe, and improved canopy tension deliver a cleaner, more responsive feel, without changing the effortless character the Nova is known for. Its fixed GripLock Carbon Boom and Carbon UDi Technology keep the airframe reactive, stiff, and stable in gusts. From beginner to pro, the Nova wing is your everything.

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.
