2023 North Nova Wing V3 - Red - 5m | USED

A wing with maximum low-end to get you up on the foil earlier. Top-end performance that lets you exploit gusty conditions. Your front and back arm pressure is even, not backhand-heavy. The wingtip geometry and balanced dihedral also prevent oscillation side-to-side when gripping the front handle, riding downwind swell, surfing, or simply walking towards the water. The new draft-forward curvature in the profile section generates more lift in the front of the wing. A stiffer, more responsive airframe means the canopy stays clean through a wider wind range. We’ve minimised flutter and created a clean trailing-edge release with reduced drag. Then, to ensure the wing remains stable and comfortable in overpowered conditions, we’ve tapered the leading-edge diameter, concentrating the stiffness in the LE centre and allowing the reflexed wingtips to dump excess power.

Rigid GripLock Handles

The handlebars are wrapped in a soft EVA grip for comfort, and enable you to slide your hands into optimum trimming positions to control the wing’s pitch, yaw and roll, while keeping your body positioned perfectly over the foil. More freedom in your hand placement lets you choose the best feel based on the conditions, your arm length, and your body size.

Cleaner canopy

We’ve minimised flutter and created a clean trailing edge release with reduced drag. From front to back and from wing tip to strut, everything's tight. TE TENSION. To increase the trailing edge tension, we’re using a sailing term called take-up. Basically, where it's loose, we pull the seam together to take out that excess shape where it's flapping.

Stiffer, more responsive airframe

How they're tapered makes the LE stiffer in the center and allows the tip to reflex and dump any excess power. The tapered wingtips also reduce the swing weight of the wing. It reduces drag from the wingtips, which also helps with the stability. And allowing the tips to bend slightly, keeps the trailing edge tight.

Revised panel layout

In the rear panels, the seams run in the load-bearing direction from wingtip to strut, while in the front it runs vertically, helping retain the wing’s true profile shapes.

New wide angle window

New strategic positioning helps you see downwind and improves safety on the water, while keeping weight to a minimum.

STPU Scuff Protection

We’ve identified the areas of greatest wear and tear on your wing and added strategic reinforcement. For 2023 we’ve also introduced small STPU bumpers on top of the leading edge for added protection when the wing is upside down.
