Light wind? No problem. The Trace has a progressive straight, square outline and large surface area for early planing and upwind performance in the lightest winds. A Centre-V Spine and longitudinal quad channels provide balanced torsional stiffness, superb traction and more control. The progressive medium-low rocker is ideal for flatwater. It also enables phenomenal pop for lightwind tricks and transitions and surprising manoeuvrability for its size. Pair the Trace with our Reach 13/15/17m to maximise your ride time in the lightest of winds. For 2024 all North TwinTips feature the new FlipTech Mounting System, with centreline inserts for added rail longevity.
FEATURES
1/12
Early planing & upwind performance
The combination of extra waterline length, a straighter, square outline, wide tips and medium rocker guarantees early planing and superior upwind performance in the lightest wind.
2/12
Centre V-Spine and quad channels
The longitudinal quad concave channels with V-spine in the middle provide added stiffness and help to deflect the water, thus creating less drag and less resistance across the board’s surface.
3/12
Phenomenal pop
The progressive medium-low rocker line is ideal for flatwater, and it creates a board with phenomenal pop for light wind tricks and transitions, that is suprisingly manouevrable and easy turning despite its size.
4/12
Ideal for use with the 13/15/17m Reach
The Reach’s fuller profile generates power and efficiency, while its lighter-weight 3-strut construction delivers quick, responsive steering in even the lightest wind. In the three larger sizes, the Reach is a powerful light wind kite, designed with a predictable, consistent drive forward for TwinTip riding long after everyone else has gone in.
5/12
Hybrid carbon construction
Strategically placed layers of unidirectional carbon tape reinforce the E-glass laminate for well-balanced flex so you can ride for longer, with flow and form. This unique layup is sandwiched with a Paulownia wood core and reinforced with e-glass patches in high-load areas.
6/12
Balanced rocker, outline and flex
Balanced rocker, outline and flex for excellent upwind tracking. The flex characteristic of every TwinTip Board is determined by multiple features built into each specific design. 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.
Paulownia is a highly renewable hardwood species, with one of the highest strength to weight ratios. Ultra lightweight, with a high shear force and high impact resistance, Paulownia wood forms a non-toxic core which significantly displaces the amount of foam or resin used in manufacturing, thereby reducing carbon emissions. 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.
8/12
Durable ABS rail.
For long-lasting, impact-resistant performance.
9/12
Stainless M6 standardized hardware.
Standardised SS316 M6x16mm hardware across all twin tip boards and accessories enables the use of the same PH3 screwdriver for assembly and makes replacement of parts super easy.
10/12
Ergonomic handle.
Lightweight and ergonomic TPE material with ultimate grip when wet.
11/12
40mm Fins included.
Strong, abrasion resistant composite fins with dogbone washers and M6x16mm standardised screws.

FlipTech Mounting
For 2024, all of the North TwinTip boards our new FlipTech Mounting System, with centreline inserts. This means if you wear out one side of your board, simply flip the bindings around and you've got a shiny new heelside rail again.
