North Sonar MA v2 | Wing Foil Review

North Sonar MA v2: Alvaro Bajo, North's ambassador, reviews the North Sonar MA v2 main features and feelings compared to the previous model. Hi! I’m Alvaro Bajo, Madrileño living by the sea in A Coruña (Spain). After having practiced literally all water sports, I began my wing foil journey in May'21 to become my favourite by far!  My best sessions sor far have been at Esmelle (local), Pozo Izquierdo (national) and Lake Garda (international). I’m quite sure my coming trip to Mauritius will change this a little bit haha. My wing foil setup is the Nova Pro, Seek 4’6” and Sonar MA850v2 combined with the S208 stab, CF85 mast and C600 fuselage. I stared surf foiling a week ago and I’m totally hooked! I ride the Swell 4’6” and the Sonar SF930 combined with the S215 stab, CF72 mast and C600 fuselage. My goal is to motivate people to get into foiling, choose the best gear and improve their technique by creating videos for my YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/c/alvarobajo).

SONAR HA850 & HA1050 Review Foiling Mag

The HA foil range is one of the finest current offerings available. The HA range is going to suit ambitious intermediates and above that have decent pumping ability and are maintaining foil flight on jibes and tacks. If you have aspirations of racing or simply riding faster, or dropping into bigger swell whether it’s winging or tow foiling, this is a system to seriously consider. The HA range definitely has a bias towards fast tow-in sports. Read the full review here View the Sonar front wing here
