Hey Peeps,

I noticed this morning that North have announced their new wing set for the Speedster. Gull wing front wing and a redesigned rear stabilizer. 5 knots faster and more manoevreable. The Speedster GT combo

North have also announced two new boards : The Hybrid which looks like a Pro Whip with footstrap inserts and foil mount inserts making it a 2 in 1 setup. Looks sweet.

They have also announced a snub nosed Free foil board which although looks ugly, I think it may be a good little board for travel and freeride.

DM can you confirm that the new North foil wings are compatible with a 2017 speedster?

I've got the the 2017 with the winglets and have no complaints at all, (have had a blast learning on it), but if the performance is significantly better then i imagine it wouldn't cost too much to get a new front and rear wing.

I just don't see myself considering a foil board these days that only has a single foil mounting position.

The North pro foil, the board from last year, has a track mount and it's still in the line up for 2018. Good looking board too.

The thin one doesn't have a track because it can support it without reinforcement, which would add a lot of weight.

Out of interest why not? The Hybrid board looks like it has 3 footstrap positions (which I'm guessing is about 6-7cm of adjustment as it looks nearly the same as the width of the bolt spacing on the bottom which is 90mm). Isn't that enough?
