North Nova Wing 2023

Description

From North

A wing with power when needed and a sweet spot so generous it makes hard things easy. Maximum low-end to get you up on the foil earlier. Top-end performance that lets you exploit gusty conditions. Engineered to feel light in your hands, the 2023 Nova’s progressive swept outline and refined profile section makes it easy to handle and stable when riding. The wingtip geometry and balanced dihedral prevent oscillation side-to-side when gripping the front handle, riding downwind swell, surfing, or simply walking towards the water. The curvature in the profile section generates more lift in the front of the wing, making transitions smoother, and when combined with improved canopy tensioning, boosts Nova’s low-end power. The stiff, responsive airframe means the canopy stays clean through a wide wind range. We’ve minimized 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 center and allowing the reflexed wingtips to dump excess power. Master of the upwind, glide through tacks, float through jibes, and lofty jumps with bonus hangtime. Whatever goal you’re chasing, the Nova will send you there faster.
