Optimised for lighter weight riders
The Astra’s new lightweight biaxial woven e-glass laminate layup has a responsive torsional flex pattern that suits lighter riders.Lighter weight Biaxial Hybrid Carbon
Using a 380gsm rather than 450gsm e-glass allows us to tailor the weight and overall flex pattern to the rider, ensuring softer landings and comfort in even the most aggressive chop.New double concave to deep-v centre spine
Absorbs impact by breaking the water surface tension, and ensures stable and predictable landings.Enhanced edge control
Phenomenal rail hold for easy upwind tracking and confident boosting, a result of the balanced harmony engineered between outline, rocker and flex.Narrower stance with FlipTech Mounting
More precise foot positioning enables smaller riders to remain in control across every manoeuvre and landing.Medium-high outline curve

Sold separately in sizes S/M or M/L.Optimised for lighter weight riders
Lighter weight Biaxial Hybrid Carbon
We’ve orientated the e-glass and 3DY unidirectional carbon tapes in the laminate layup to optimise the loading of the individual fibres, resulting in a unique construction method with superior performance. The 3DY Carbon Technology. contributes to the board’s lively feel, lower weight and pop.
New double concave to deep-v centre spine
We’ve updated the Astra for 2025 with a double concave to deep-v centre spine for smoother landings and better tracking. The updated quad channel tips help push the water flow out towards the fins, making them more effective in terms of tracking.
Enhanced edge control
Narrower stance with FlipTech Mounting
The Astra has a 20mm narrower stance in all sizes compared to the Atmos. All North TwinTip boards from 2023 onwards have our FlipTech Mounting System, with centreline inserts. Smply flip the bindings around to renew your heelside rail.
Medium-high outline curve
Medium rocker
Lightweight, impact resistant eco core
Paulownia is a highly renewable hardwood species, with one of the highest strength to weight ratios. Ultra-lightweight, with a high shear strength and high impact resistance, Paulownia wood forms a non-toxic core. Each board has a customised core thickness individually fine-tuned to ensure its characteristics are consistent throughout the range, no matter your size or weight.
Dynamic flex
Core thickness variations and taper, as well as detailing, longitudinally and laterally, play the most significant role in controlling the overall flex and feel. Board specific laminate layups then allow us to further fine tune the flex and board characteristics. We adjust the stiffness lengthwise and torsionally in conjunction with the rocker line, plan shape view and profile of the board, to give each board its specific performance characteristics.
