Even when the conditions are cruddy you can spin, rotate and twirl your heart out thanks to the short, convenient length of the board. With the option for strapless freestyle and a quad fin set to keep it loose, the Nugget is the secret weapon in any kiteboarders stash. Get a Nugget and have fun!

Check out our current selection of North kiteboards.

What North Has to Say:

Sometimes you just want to go out and have fun, even when the wind doesn't quite deliver, or the waves aren't as big as predicted the Nugget is the answer! It's a playful board with a wide outline and plenty of volume to get you going early. A quad fin setup helps to keep the board loose and allow you to really throw it about in small waves. Great for strapless freestyle the short length makes rotations and spins really easy. Don't get bummed by the conditions, get a Nugget and have fun all the time!

Sky Solbach:

"I ride the Nugget more than any other board in my quiver because it just makes crappy conditions so much fun. It not only gets you up and going when other boards won't, it also rips in small waves. It's a stoke machine! The obvious step for myself was to improve the overall surfing ability of the 2013 model without losing the light wind ability. I added 2" of length, pulled in the tail and integrated rail shape similar to other high performance models in the range. It retains the light wind ability of the previous Nugget, but puts an entirely new spin on its surfing ability. We even added a 5'5" XL model for heavy riders."

Customer Review - September 20, 2014

The ride is fantastic! Strapless lets you incrementally move forward on board in light wind. It rides upwind with ease. Ride in ocean chop is smooth, not harsh. Turns easily. I was out in moderately light wind, 12-13 on a Core 19 and had a blast- ocean off coast in Central Florida.

Friend of mine tried it today, and liked it better than Space Pickle he had ridden recently. Smoother ride, points better, and turns easier by his comments. Likes it better than his current Dialer, too.

I think it will be a great addition for lighter days around here, and wind tends to be light a lot here!

Hope you get a chance to get out on one!
