The tip-to-tip span is slightly reduced. The centre part of the leading edge has less sweep and we’ve reduced the radius toward the tips, bringing the wingtips further forward. This moves the centre of lift forward, giving the wing more positive lift and stability. The lift pulls you forward and up during tacks and manoeuvres so that you can glide through turns and perform jumps and tricks with ease.
Lighter and more precise handling
The majority of the lift is created in the centre part of the wing which reduces the amount of lift generated by the tips, thereby reducing the wing’s sensitivity to oscillation and helping you to maintain a stable, neutral position when you’re trailering. Whether you’re riding downwind swells, surfing, or simply walking towards the water, the stability is instantly noticeable.
Balanced trailering
Active Twist Wingtips
To counteract the Hybrid Matrix radial panel layout and Hybrid N-Weave45 frame stiffness and ensure the wing remains stable at the top end, we’ve tapered the leading-edge diameter toward the wing tips and used a more flexible material. This allows the tip to deflect and dump any excess power. The tapered wingtips also reduce the wing's swing weight and drag, which helps with overall stability. The Carbon UDi Technology within the LE provides additional support and improves the response time for the tip to spring back.
Maximum low-end power and efficiency
The wing feels smooth to ride and is less sensitive to angle of attack changes. The refined profile section ensures a smooth laminar flow attachment from the LE to the TE (no turbulence)– so the wing retains positive nose lift through all angle of attack changes. This means fewer micro-adjustments in your hand positioning and a lighter feel. When you do a tack, it pulls upward and enables you to glide around effortlessly without any tail drop. It also contributes to the Nova Pro’s excellent loft and hangtime.

Refined Wide-Angle Window Positioning
Hybrid Matrix Canopy
A stiffer canopy is essential because the loading increases with the more rigid airframe. The Nova Pro features our stiffer Matrix canopy in the high-load areas. The first 20% of the canopy in the front of the wing is a lighter-weight N-HTRS canopy material. Matrix is a high-performance stretch-resistant wing canopy material specifically designed to handle the higher loads of the N-Weave45 airframe. Compared to a traditional canopy, Matrix is 2.5x stronger in the 0/90deg warp/weft direction and 5x stronger in the 45deg bias direction. The stronger material gives your wing canopy greater structural integrity for longer, so it can maintain its designed shape over time, especially in overpowered conditions.
ShiftLock
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. We’ve adapted this method for wing-foiling, using a double bolt-rope track. To prove the system’s strength and durability, we’ve 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. We’ve also kept the system light in weight. Two 500mm ShiftLock Carbon handles (with the track) are lighter than two standard 500mm wing handles. The rigid Carbon ShiftLock handles (sold separately) react instantly to your input, while the soft TPU handle ends help protect you and your board. There are five handle lengths, from the single 1100 or 950 boom to the 500, 400, and 250 mm handles.
Hybrid N-Weave45 Airframe
The N-Weave45 segment gives the wing a unique ride performance and crisp input response, with a more forgiving wing tip that twists off nicely during freestyle manoeuvres or wave riding. The ShiftLock track adds stiffness to the strut, making this wing even more reactive and direct, and having the hybrid construction in the airframe helps us to reduce the wing's overall weight even further.
Carbon UDi Technology
North Sails is renowned for using 3Di technology in their podium-proven racing sails. Chasing stiffness in the inflated airframe, we've introduced the same material in the Nova Pro with our new patent-pending Carbon UDi technology. For 2025 the Carbon UD tapes are placed on the inside, along the entire length of the leading edge, providing additional support and enabling us to reduce the LE diameter. This prevents unnecessary deformation while keeping the wing lightweight and responsive.
Contoured GeoStrut
The shape allows you to hold your wing in a more comfortable riding position and can help relieve arm fatigue and elbow strain. Use in conjunction with the new ShiftLock J-Handle for maximum effect.
Dual HyperFlow Inflation Valves
This enables you to inflate the strut to a higher pressure than the leading edge, so you can adjust for the conditions and your style of riding (and deflate your wing faster).
ShiftLock Accessories
The Paddle Mounts are ideal for downwinders, where you wing upwind to your start point and then pack down your wing instead of trailering it behind you, to surf the runners all the way home.
