What's New for 2025?

For 2025, North has introduced the ShiftLock modular track mounting system for custom positioning of any size ShiftLock carbon handle or boom. The Mode Pro now features anti-deflection Carbon UDi Technology inside the LE for a faster, more direct response. The wing's profile sections are thinner up front, with increased depth in the centre for added high-speed performance in a wider wind range. North has also created a cleaner canopy with new radial geometric panel cuts and load diffusers. These work in harmony to distribute tension more evenly in defined load directions across the canopy and improve aerodynamic flow.

Details

The Mode Pro has a stiff, lightweight N-Weave45 airframe and a strong, durable Matrix canopy for efficient power delivery and high-end stability. The super-stiff airframe transfers wind energy into greater forward speed, with explosive boost and hangtime. The high-tenacity canopy complements the increased airframe tension, increasing the wind range and shape-hold in all conditions.

North designed the Mode Pro primarily for speed, but the stiffer airframe also translates into unprecedented loft for higher jumps and forward momentum on landings. With incredible high-end stability, the 3.5 and 4.2m are ideal for use in stronger winds, while the 4.8 to 6.5m are optimised for greater power in lighter air. The wing has a balanced lower aspect ratio with rounded wingtips to reduce tip strike.

Materials:

• N-Weave45 High Tensile Airframe
• Matrix canopy for maximum strength and shape hold

Tech Features:

N-Weave 45 Airframe
The cross-ply reinforced N-Weave 45 airframe creates a stiffer, lighter rig that holds its shape when under load and has a highly efficient power delivery. The biaxial 45-degree laminate helps to control the torsional stiffness of the airframe. North developed N-Weave45, a low-elongation, high tensile strength woven fibre, to help reduce geometric compromise in their inflated structures.

N-Weave45 reduces structural deflection and transfers wind energy into greater forward speed, explosive boost and hangtime for freestyle tricks. The weight savings translates into greater performance, more efficient power delivery in light air, and makes the wing easier to handle in all conditions. N-Weave45 also has very high cut and abrasion resistance. The UPE fibres that make up N-Weave45 are known for their resistance to water, moisture, most chemicals, UV and microorganisms. UPE is also known for its durability and toughness.

Matrix-NHTRS Canopy
Compared to a traditional canopy Matrix is 2.5x stronger on the 0/90deg warp/weft direction and 5x stronger on the 45deg bias direction. This gives your wing canopy greater structural integrity for longer. It will maintain its designed shape over time, especially when used in the overpowered conditions that the Mode Pro excels in.

ShiftLock Modular Track Mounting System
The rigid Carbon ShiftLock boom or handles (sold separately) react instantly to your input, while the soft TPU handle ends help protect you and your board.

There are four handle lengths, from the single 1100 boom to the 500, 400, and 250 mm handles. ShiftLock is a re-invention of the Bolt Rope system used in sailing - the most common and robust method to fix a sail to a mast. North adapted this method for wing-foiling, using a double bolt-rope track.

To prove the system's strength and durability, North carried out cyclic load and on-water testing for two years without failure or excessive wear. ShiftLock has a breaking load of well over 710kg. They also kept the system light in weight. Two 500mm ShiftLock Carbon handles (with the track) are lighter than two standard 500mm wing handles.

Carbon UDi Technology
North Sails is renowned for using this technology in their podium-proven 3Di race sails. They've implemented the same material inside the entire Leading-Edge span, from tip to tip, to further stiffen the Mode Pro's airframe.

Radiate Geometric Panel Layout
North refined the panel layout to spread the direction of load evenly across the canopy. The new layout helps to stabilize the wingtips and increases tension under load.

Radial Load Diffuser for even canopy tensioning
The radial load diffuser reinforces the end of the strut and the wingtips, working in harmony with the geometric panel layout to distribute tension more evenly in defined load directions across the canopy. Ultimately, this creates a cleaner canopy with less distortion, which results in reduced drag.

Refined profiles
The wing's profile sections are thinner up front, and North increased the depth in the center for added high-speed performance in a wider wind range.

High speed performance
The Mode Pro is a high-speed performance freeride wing, while the  Mode Ultra is your dedicated racing wing.

Big Air Boosting
North designed the Mode for high-speed performance, but the stiffer airframe also translates into unprecedented loft for higher jumps and forward momentum on landings.

High end stability and impressive wind range
The 3.5 and 4.2m are designed for use in stronger winds, while the 4.8 to 6.5m are optimised for greater power in lighter air. The larger 6.5m is ideal for going at higher speeds in lighter wind. It might be trickier to get up on the foil but once up on the foil it has higher top-end speeds than the Loft Pro (speed is foil dependent too).

Compact outline with reduced wingspan
Balanced lower aspect ratio design with rounded wingtips to reduce tip strike.

Connected dual inflation valves
There are two HyperFlow Inflation valves, one on the LE and one on the strut, with an interlinking valve and hose. The connecting hose allows rapid single-point inflation and deflation. The N-Weave material also has a higher inflation pressure capacity, which enables you to to use a smaller wing size, without sacrificing power.

LiteVision Wide Angle Windows
North placed the longer windows closer to the strut for optimal viewing.

"With its updated canopy panelling and the addition of ShiftLock, this wing is the ultimate weapon for powered up riding, charging and boosting."
