N-Weave 45 Airframe

The cross-ply reinforced N-Weave 45 airframe creates a stiffer, lighter rig that holds its shape when under load and has a highly efficient power delivery. The biaxial 45-degree laminate helps to control the torsional stiffness of the airframe. North developed N-Weave45, a low-elongation, high tensile strength woven fibre, to help reduce geometric compromise in our inflated structures. N-Weave45 reduces structural deflection and transfers wind energy into greater forward speed, explosive boost and hangtime for freestyle tricks. The weight savings translates into greater performance, more efficient power delivery in light air, and makes the wing easier to handle in all conditions. N-Weave45 also has very high cut and abrasion resistance. The UPE fibres that make up N-Weave45 are known for their resistance to water, moisture, most chemicals, UV and microorganisms. UPE is also known for its durability and toughness.

Matrix-NHTRS Canopy

Compared to a traditional canopy Matrix is 2.5x stronger on the 0/90deg warp/weft direction and 5x stronger on the 45deg bias direction. This gives your wing canopy greater structural integrity for longer. It will maintain its designed shape over time, especially when used in the overpowered conditions that the Mode Pro excels in.

ShiftLock Modular Track Mounting System    

The rigid Carbon ShiftLock boom or handles (sold separately) react instantly to your input, while the soft TPU handle ends help protect you and your board.

There are four handle lengths, from the single 1100 boom to the 500, 400, and 250 mm handles. ShiftLock is a re-invention of the Bolt Rope system used in sailing - the most common and robust method to fix a sail to a mast. We’ve adapted this method for wing-foiling, using a double bolt-rope track.
 
To prove the system’s strength and durability, we’ve carried out cyclic load and on-water testing for two years without failure or excessive wear. ShiftLock has a breaking load of well over 710kg. We’ve also kept the system light in weight. Two 500mm ShiftLock Carbon handles (with the track) are lighter than two standard 500mm wing handles.  

Carbon UDi Technology

North Sails is renowned for using this technology in their podium-proven 3Di race sails. We’ve implemented the same material inside the entire Leading-Edge span, from tip to tip, to further stiffen the Mode Pro's airframe.

High speed performance

The new Mode Pro is powered by N-Weave45 airframe with a Matrix Canopy. More freeride-oriented, it has a wider wind range than the Ultra, and is easier to get up and riding. It also has ShiftLock, so riders can customise their handle positioning and size. Use the wind range chart to determine the best sizes for your local conditions.

Big Air Boosting

Pair the Mode Pro with a ShiftLock Boom to unlock a whole new bag of tricks.

High end stability and impressive wind range    

The 3.5 and 4.2m are designed for use in stronger winds, while the 4.8 to 6.5m are optimised for greater power in lighter air. The larger 6.5m is ideal for going at higher speeds in lighter wind. It might be trickier to get up on the foil but once up on the foil it has higher top-end speeds than the Loft Pro (speed is foil dependent too).

Connected dual inflation valves

There are two HyperFlow Inflation valves, one on the LE and one on the strut, with an interlinking valve and hose. The connecting hose allows rapid single-point inflation and deflation. The N-Weave material also has a higher inflation pressure capacity, which enables you to to use a smaller wing size, without sacrificing power.
