2023 North Nova Light Wind Wing

Waiting for wind? The all-new Nova Light Wind has the power to unlock borderline sessions, lift you up instantly in the lightest wind and keep you on the foil for longer. Its deep profile and ultra-stiff frame provide the most efficient power delivery per m2, carrying you through the lulls and converting the slightest puff into powerful forward momentum. Engineered to feel as light as possible, the Nova Light Wind has balanced load distribution and lift for easier gybes, tacks and low-speed transitions. Rigid GripLock micro-trim handles deliver a more immediate response. Its refined compact outline and rounded wingtips help reduce tip-strike, and the manageable span width is tailored to fit every rider. Go by height to choose just one Nova Light Wind size for your quiver, and end the wait for wind.

Rounded wingtips for reduced tip-strike

The Nova Light Wind has a compact outline with rounded wingtips for reduced tip-strike. The lower aspect ratio and reduced span width means you’re less likely to catch a wingtip in the water. The curvature in the wingtip means that if you do touch the water, only a small part of the wing tip will make contact. This creates less drag and improves your chance of recovery. 

Rigid GripLock Micro-trim handles

Radically transform the way you ride with increased control and reduced hand fatigue. The rigid trim handles offer  an immediate, direct response and balance adjustment. The handlebars are wrapped in a soft EVA comfort grip. Their  length  lets you slide your hands  into optimum trimming positions so you can instantly control the wing’s pitch, yaw and roll,  while keeping your body positioned perfectly over the foil.

Balanced load distribution

Balanced load distribution and lift for easier gybes, tacks and low-speed transitions. We’ve concentrated the weight in the centre of the wing, keeping the tips and canopy light for effortless manoeuvres and a low swing weight.

Aerodynamic Trailing Edge

Travel upwind easily. Our trailing edge technology creates a better laminar airflow and more direct exit for the wind than a tight trailing edge. Testing has showed us that if a wing has a tighter trailing edge it creates a hook, which gives more backhand pressure, but also wants to pull you downwind instead of progressing you forward.

Rapid Inflation/Deflation System

High volume single point inflation system with larger diameter inlet/outlet hose for rapid inflation and deflation. The bayonet style main inflation valve is compatible with most pumps - no adapter needed. All North Wings are supplied complete with a high-pressure inflation pump.

Stiffening seams

Additional seaming in the wingtips helps to stiffen the frame.

North Wing Designer Dano See and Brand Director Mike Raper introduce the features and benefits of the Light Wind, a must for every quiver.
