Details

For 2025, the Nova Pro is a lighter weight, more agile and streamlined wing, with reduced drag and better upwind angles. North refined the profile for more positive lift, smoother transitions and less sensitivity to angle of attack changes, so whether you're trailering downwind, surfing, or simply walking towards the water, the stability is instantly noticeable. The positive lift, combined with new radial canopy tensioning, also boosts the Nova Pro's low-end power.

Radial panel cuts create a cleaner canopy with less distortion for reduced drag. Radial load diffusers reinforce the end of the strut and the wingtips, helping to distribute tension more evenly, and North increased the proportion of the Matrix Canopy to 80% for greater torsional strength. The extra load-carrying capacity of the Matrix canopy contributes to the Nova Pro's high end, and increases the wind range, while the lighter canopy segment produces less tension in the front for a cleaner entry profile.

The Nova Pro features North's high-tensile N-Weave45 airframe material in the strut and the LE centre segment for stiffness where you need it. They placed anti-deflection uni-directional carbon tapes inside the entire length of the LE for a more reactive airframe that snaps back into shape faster. The strut is contoured to improve the wing's ergonomic feel and prevent arm fatigue when you ride with two separate handles.
(ShiftLock Carbon Wing Handles or Boom* are sold separately. *2.9m is only compatible with 950 Boom. *3.5m is compatible with 1100 and 950 Booms, however the Action Camera Mount can only be combined with the 950 Boom.)

Riding Styles

Specs:

* Two Hyperflow inflation valves allow independent pressure in strut and LE. The connecting hose allows rapid single-point inflation. Wing size is dependent on rider weight, ability and setup. The recommended wing size is calculated on a 75kg rider of intermediate ability.

Tech Features:

Lighter and More Precise Handling
A refined outline and profile with less sweep in the center of LE, gives the wing more positive lift and stability, helping to pull you forward and up during tacks and maneuvers.

Balanced Trailering
Reduced sensitivity to oscillation helps you maintain a neutral position when trailering. The improved stability is instantly noticeable when riding downwind swells, surfing, or walking.

Active Twist Wingtips
Tapering the LE diameter and using a more flexible Dacron material in the wingtips allows the tip to deflect and dump any excess power, while reducing the wing's swing weight and drag, which helps with overall stability.

Maximum Low-End Power and Efficiency
A refined profile section ensures smooth laminar flow attachment from the LE to the TE, for positive nose lift through all angle of attack changes, improved low-end power, loft and hangtime.

Radiate Geometric Panel Layout
Radial load diffusers reinforce the end of the strut and the wingtips, distributing tension more evenly in defined load directions for a cleaner canopy with less distortion and reduced drag.

Wide-Angle Window Positioning
The strategic positioning of the new longer, dual LiteVision windows helps you see further downwind, improving safety on the water while keeping weight to a minimum.

Hybrid Matrix Canopy
Stiffer Matrix canopy proportion increased to 80% for greater torsional strength and structural integrity, while boosting load capacity and wind range. Lighter N-HTRS up front for clean entry.

ShiftLock Modular Track Mounting
North's proven modular track system lets you slide and lock any handles (or boom) into any position. Choose from the single 1100 or 950 boom to the 500, 400, or 250 handles, or front 400 J-Handle. (Handles and boom sold separately.)

Hybrid N-Weave45 Airframe
Lightweight high-tensile N-Weave45 material in the strut and the LE center segment gives the wing a reactive and direct feel with a crisp input response, and more forgiving Dacron wingtips.

Carbon UDi Technology
Lightweight anti-deflection UD carbon tapes are run inside the entire leading edge for additional support, resulting in an even more reactive airframe that snaps back into shape faster.

Thinner Leading Edge and Profile
Reduced LE diameter creates a lighter weight, more agile and streamlined wing with a slimmer overall profile, for reduced drag and better upwind angles. Carbon UDi helps maintain stiffness.

Contoured GeoStrut
New segmented strut improves ergonomics, so you can hold your wing in a more comfortable riding position, helping to relieve arm fatigue and elbow strain. Use with a J-Handle for best effect.

Connected Dual HyperFlow Valves
The independent LE valve and Strut valve are connected by a hose with a clip, enabling higher pressure inflation of the strut than LE, and fast inflation and deflation from a single point.

ShiftLock Accessories
Add an Action Camera Mount or two ShiftLock Paddle Mounts, which can be used to mount a SUP paddle to your wing in place of a handle. The Paddle Mounts are ideal for downwind deflates.

SS316 Swivel Wrist Leash
Your Nova Pro is supplied with an elasticized webbing wrist wing leash with swivel, for fast, safe wing retrieval. A North Wing Waist Belt and QR Board Leash can be purchased separately.

Rider Quote

"The updated Nova Pro is crispier, lighter, and allround a better wing. I love it, especially freestyle and powered up riding."
