North SWELLSurf / Wing Crossover2024

Thinner profile

Redefined rocker line

The flatter board creates more effective surface area, helping to improve your paddling speed. The rocker through the midsection of the board is designed for optimal wave fit and forgiving release.

New tri-plane hull

The double V-shape in the bottom contour of the board is created by a single concave in the centre with an angled planing surface on each side. The water tracks from the central concave and side rails to the two longitudinal spines, allowing the board to lift and release quickly, without sticking. The angled-planing surfaces run right through to the tail, allowing you to touch down on more variable rail angles without catching.

Deep recessed deck for control and pumpability

It also gives you greater leverage, responsiveness, and heel/toe roll control. The recessed deck results in most of the board’s volume being shifted out toward the rails, in turn providing greater balance and stability on takeoffs and touchdown. It also helps you get your front foot through more easily, so you can get to your feet faster.

Compact outline with redistributed volume

The wide point of the board is under your chest, which supports the load better when you’re paddling, and means the board’s centre of buoyancy is under your front foot when you pop up – helping it rebound.

Easy to grab bevelled rails

We've added a concave to the forward rail, so it's easier to hold and balance. While riding you can grab the rail for added stability and control of your foil. The concaved bevelled rail also allows your fingers to stay clear of the planing surface, eliminating drag during take-offs.

Crisp release tapered tail

New customisable strap insert positions

Centreline and offline strap insert options accommodate both goofy or natural riding. (Straps sold separately)

Hybrid Carbon Technology

The stiffer the board, the better it will pump and the more responsive it feels. A light yet durable epoxy composite laminate, with a balanced carbon and e-glass fibre layup is wrapped around an EPS core. High-density closed cell PVC reinforcement around the foil track mount, leash plug, and foot strap inserts spreads the load. An ultra-lightweight double bamboo reinforcement layer under the standing area adds greater impact resistance and rigidity.

Integrated high-density structural stringer system

Two high-density PVC stringers are glued to each side of this block, distributing the load lengthwise, and the full system connects the top and bottom laminate skins for maximum support.

DropBox Adjustable Fast Foil Mounting Track

Our unique structurally-integrated DropBox has a longer track for a wider adjustment range, allowing you to precision-tune the foil set up for your rider weight. A measurement guide next to the track aids correct positioning. Industry-standard 90mm track spacing means the Swell is compatible with most foil systems.

GORE™ waterproof 2-way vent

To prevent air pressure build-up we’ve installed a two-way GORE™ Protective Vent on the top deck. This allows air to pass in and out of the board, while preventing water from entering. The vent is factory-fitted and does not require any adjustment.

Non-abrasive high traction deck grip

Tail kickpad with cutouts on the Swell for your feet while prone paddling.  Transverse markers on the deckpad provide a visual stance reference.
