Nova 2025 Wing

Performance & Feel

What stands out first is how little the Nova asks of you. Sheet in and the power delivers smoothly rather than all at once.  Sheet out and it goes quiet, sitting neutral overhead while you find your feet or ride a section of swell. The GripLock Carbon Boom is a large part of that. It's light in the hands, and sliding your hands forward or back along it lets you trim with a small adjustment.

The Nova airframe includes Lightweight UDi carbon tapes run inside the full length of the leading edge, resisting deflection so the wing keeps shape. Norths "Radiate Geometric Panel Layout" keeps tension in the canopy evenly loaded and diffusers spread the strain at the strut and wingtips, keep the profile clean and the flutter down as speed builds. N-X6 trailing edge panels, extended further up the tips for 2025, hold the trailing edge tight, while the compact outline keeps the tips clear of the water through gybes and tacks.

Key Features

• GripLock Carbon Boom: light, stiff and size-matched to the wing size.
• UDi carbon airframe: anti-deflection carbon tapes run inside the leading edge for faster response and better control in gusts
• Radiate Geometric Panel Layout: radial panel cuts and load diffusers spread canopy tension evenly for less distortion and reduced drag
• N-X6 trailing edge: low-elongation panels, extended further up the wingtips for 2025, dampen flutter and help hold shape
• N-HTRS canopy: high-performance canopy material chosen for strength and responsiveness
• Compact outline: shorter wingtips reduce tip strikes through gybes and touchdowns
• LiteVision windows: positioned for optimal sighting
• Double HyperFlow valves: set leading edge and strut pressure independently
• STPU scuff protection: applied in high-wear areas for durability
