2025 North Nova and Nova Pro Wing - REAL Watersports Review
The standard Nova had noticeably great low-end power and smooth, easy power delivery. But the Nova Pro felt a lot sportier—you get hit by a gust, boom, you feel it, and you accelerate. A beginner could ride it, but my first reaction was, Wow, this thing feels seriously sporty. It also felt lighter in hand and more nimble.

2025 North Orbit Range - Jason Montreal Review
I’ve always loved how easy the Orbits are for the style of riding I enjoy most—big winds and throwing kiteloops. Everything about them just feels effortless, from the bar setup to the way they fly and their long-term durability. Plus, they’re competitively priced in the market, making them an all-around solid choice.

North HM Mast: Gav Hydrofoil Review
North is going up to the next level in terms of performance and user experience. Lastly I do want to harp on about the dropbox system which I think sometimes gets overlooked. I absolutely love this so if you have a North Board and a North foil it's seamless. It just comes in and out without have to think about it. You are not messing around with the screws and I really like that feature.

North Horizon - Downwind Foil Board: Gav Hydrofoil Review
This is a bit of a unicorn board for me. It's one of my favorite ones I've used so far. They have hit the nail on the head with this one. My expectations of this board was that they were going to produce something that's very conservative. I was pleasantly suprised when I opened the board and I saw the dimensions and the shape. They really have gone down the performance route with the quality and durability. - Gav

2025 North Atmos Pro Carbon: Jason Montreal Review
The Atmos Pro has a similar shape and feel to grevious versoins, but this one is lighter and it gives you more control. The heelside chanel is not so grippy that it slows you down, but it helps you to lock in when building speed and load op for jumps. there is clear improvement which you feel in overal improvement, without compromising on control. It reminds me of the Lieuwe Falcon. It is an easy number one in terms of board reviews. - Jason Montreal

2025 North Orbit Ultra: Jason Montreal Review
Lukas: Mainly tech – The Orbit is faster but still a five-strut kite, so not as fast as a three-strut Aluula kite. The wind range is excellent, offering both a good high and low end. It feels amazing on the bar.

North Navigator Pro Bar - SurfFX Review
One thing I noticed right out of the box is how light it is—it’s noticeably lighter. Another thing worth mentioning is that here at the shop, we rarely have to repair North bars. In fact, I don’t think we’ve ever had to replace a center line on a North bar.
