Foilboard Overview
Featuring our patented DropBox fast foil-mounting, North Foilboards are engineered for lightweight durability and shaped for performance and control with fast and effortless touchdown recovery. Concaved decks place the rider's feet below the rails for added stability, while bevelled rails help lift-off. Kite, Surf, Wing or SUP Foil with confidence.
Rise Up
Engineered for an intuitive and direct connection to your hydrofoil, the Seek has a stiff, responsive, Hybrid Carbon construction with deep-concaved deck for greater leverage and heel/toe roll control. We’ve refined the 2024 design for cleaner release and a more comfortable stance, introducing an efficient tri-plane hull design with a slight convex at the tail for smoother, more forgiving touchdown recovery.
Welcome to our world
All the lightweight convenience, portability, and durability of an inflatable with a rigid-board feel. The Seek’s direct and responsive Carbon Sandwich Transfer (CST) Base is curved to match the rocker of the board for outstanding control and pumpability. Featuring DropBox fast-foil mounting. The larger 5’9/6’2 sizes are supplied with removable tail fins, so you can learn to wing before adding a foil setup.
Catch every wave
Pocket frother. Foam chaser. No wave is “too” anything for the Swell, our dedicated prone surf foilboard with an intuitive, direct connection to your foil. Engineered with a lightweight yet durable hybrid carbon construction with high-density dual stringers, the Swell feels stiff, responsive and manoeuvrable. Grip-friendly concaved forward rails make duckdiving and pop-ups a breeze.
Ride like the wind
A direct and responsive performance foil board with instant touchdown recovery, smooth transitions and easy steering. For 2024 we’ve re-engineered the Scoop with a triplane hull design for earlier takeoffs, faster release and a more balanced, forgiving touchdown recovery on more variable angles. Your ideal board for freeride or freestyle kitefoiling, wakefoiling and tow-surf foiling big waves.
The Minimalist
When we set out to design the Scoop Mini, we wanted to craft a board that would perform a single task to the highest standard possible. Instead of trying to do it all, we’ve focused on the essential. Introducing the Scoop Mini, a direct and responsive high-performance kite foilboard for more advanced riders. Featuring a compact, ultralight hybrid carbon construction with durable, high-density core.
Another dimension
Step up your foiling game with roll to ride water starts, magic glide, fast set up and fuss-free travelling. Strength and performance in a lightweight and durable wood core construction. Even on the lightest wind days, this board is your gateway to new adventures.

Foilboard Features
DropBox Fast Foil Mounting
(Seek, Swell, Scoop, Scoop Mini)
Speed-dial your foil setup. Simply drop your foil pre-assembled with screws and t-nuts into the track, slide it backwards, then tighten the screws to fasten. 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 Seek is compatible with most foil systems. Foil mounting screws and t-nuts are included with your board, and come pre-installed into the DropBox track.
Integrated High-density Structural Stringer System
(Seek, Swell, Scoop)
The DropBox foil mounting tracks are embedded into a high-density closed-cell PVC block. 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.
Hybrid Carbon Technology (Seek, Swell, Scoop, Scoop Mini)
Lighter weight construction for stiffness, manoeuvrability and glide. 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. An ultra-lightweight double bamboo reinforcement layer under the standing area adds greater impact resistance and rigidity.
New efficient tri-plane hull
Designed for earlier takeoffs and faster release. 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.
Centreline, offline and V-Strap Inserts
Multiple positioning options for each strap allow you to personalise your stance - or go strapless. On the Swell and Seek, in addition to the centreline and V-strap inserts, there is an offline strap insert option for more ergonomic goofy or natural riding. (Free-Lo, Free, Free-V and Free-Lo V Foil Straps sold separately)
Non-abrasive max-traction Deck Grip
Our custom heat-embossed deckpad with centre-line ridge allows fast, easy foot placement for a more intuitive and direct connection to your foil. The integrated tail-kickpad and transverse markers also provide a tactile and visual stance reference.
