No new foils until spring of 2027...


At least my credit card will remain undamaged for a while then..!

I'm pretty sure some cool toys are coming in the future. Right now I'm most excited about the Parawing from North, so far I've only heard good things from people who've had a chance to try it

Unfortunately the only thing that calls is a change to a new system/brand!

Very hard to see what's new on their site - no sign of any new masts - wasn't there a nice looking surf one in the mix?

Yes the new parawing sounds good but its priced at that point with every other good parawing so what would make you buy it. Looking forward to the reviews on it - I see a few out today!

While the SF foils are great, there is an opportunity for a SF/DW merged foil, maybe 10/11 aspect ratio. The SF530 has that blend, Uli mentioned that took some of the DW profile - would be nice to see one in the 700-900 realm. If that is left till next year they will be way behind everyone else.

I think they're releasing things step by step. At AWSI they actually presented an interesting UHM surf mast, so I think that will probably come later.

Yeah, North is done(for foils at least). This industry moves faster than "No new foils till 2027". They had something special for a min now they are just another kite brand that also makes their own foils that nobody cares about. Also you could never really take them seriously not having viable mast lengths for prone. THANK YOU, NEXT

Only thing i was interested in is the seek pro in lighter construction. I'm still using the seek'25, and i really like the board. The rest is imo just different colors, no major upgrades.

Sounds like you're describing the KT Atlas

100% and plenty of other choice brand options. I agree with TooMuchEpoxy, any relevant brand is pushing new front foils and while I love the SF range, they must be nearly 3 years old. The DW range had potential but no one is really raving on them.
