Playful yet powerful, the North Astra is a bold addition to your freeride quiver, offering outstanding performance for lighter riders and women. Lighter riders often struggle to control wide, stiff boards designed for heavyweights. That's why Nort decided to create a board with a more responsive flex for smaller riders - a board that offers better control in a variety of conditions, greater comfort and softer landings, without sacrificing performance.

Description

The North Astra's shorter length, narrower stance and basalt-based construction give riders of all skill levels the right amount of flex to control edges, boosts and loops. Its consistent and reliable rail grip gives you extra confidence to push the limits when loading for massive jumps. With its bottom shape and super efficient rocker, the board is fast on the water and flies into the wind. The medium flex is dense enough to deliver a clean, powerful pop, but soft enough to spare your knees and legs on harder landings. Sending the board off has never been easier.

Optimized for lighter riders
The North Astra's laminated layup is designed for lighter riders, with a responsive flex for explosive pop, softer landings and comfort in even the most aggressive chop.

Better edge control
The North Astra has phenomenal rail control for easy upwind riding and confident boosting, a result of the balanced harmony between outline, rocker and flex.

Narrower Stance
More precise foot placement allows shorter riders to maintain control of every maneuver and landing. The North Astra has a 20mm narrower stance in all sizes compared to the Atmos.

Hybrid Basalt Construction
North oriented the e-glass and unidirectional basalt strips in the laminate to optimize the loading of the individual fibers, resulting in a unique construction method with superior performance.

Medium-high contour curve
Smooth cornering and optimized grip. Stronger tip shape.

Progressive Rocker
The North Astra has early planing and great low-end performance, with better control when overpowered.

Unique concave center and quad tips
Absorbs impact and provides stable, predictable landings.

Lightweight, impact-resistant eco-core
At the heart of the North Astra is a lightweight, durable Paulownia wood core. Paulownia is a highly renewable hardwood species with one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios.

Dynamic Flex
The flex characteristic of each TwinTip board is determined by multiple features built into each specific design.

Durable ABS Rail
For durable, impact-resistant performance.

Standard M6 stainless steel hardware
Standardized SS316 M6x16mm hardware on all twin tip boards and accessories allows the same PH3 screwdriver to be used for assembly and makes replacing parts easy.

Integrated Grab Bar
Integrated into the shape of the board, it allows for an easy grip when exiting the board.

Ergonomic handle
Lightweight, ergonomic TPE material provides an optimal grip when wet.

40 mm fins included
Strong, abrasion-resistant composite fins with edge washers and standard M6x16mm screws.

FlipTech mounting
For 2023, all North TwinTip boards will be equipped with the new FlipTech mounting system, with center inserts. This means that if you wear out one side of your board, just flip the bindings over and you have a shiny new rail again.
