Harness the energy

North Team Rider Marley Franco (16) takes on the Triple Crown Challenge.

The ultimate test of downwind foiling skill, endurance, and speed, spanning approximately 70 miles of downwind racing over one week, including the 8-mile Maliko run on Maui, the 26-mile Maui to Molokai Channel and the 40-mile Molokai 2 Oahi across the Ka’iwi Channel. Making its debut with Marley, the new High Modulus Carbon Sonar DW Series Front Wing / Glide Series Stabilizer combination from North takes efficiency to the extreme. At first glance, you’ll see a high-aspect and low-profile design with North’s signature anti-ventilation tips. Dive into the Designer Notes below to discover the engineering North has applied to maintain stiffness with such a low profile, so no energy is wasted during pumping, and the steering impulse feels crisp and direct.
