2025 North Swell Wing Surf Foil Board

Surf-inspired, we’ve re-engineered the 2025 Swell foilboard for cranking turns and riding waves with a wing. The shape’s refined for a cleaner, faster lift to foil, with a curved surf-style outline for optimal wave fit and deeper carves. The Swell remains a crossover board for heavier riders for strapped prone, kite, wake, and tow-foiling in smaller sizes.

Features

• Longer planing surface and chopped tail for faster lift to foil
• Curved surf-style outline for optimal wave fit and deeper carves
• Efficient tri-plane hull design for effortless release and forgiving touchdowns
• Crossover board for strapped prone – kite – wake and tow-foiling in the 4’4 and 4’5
• Ti- DropBox fast foil mounting (165x90mm)
• Centreline
• offline and V-strap insert options (straps sold separately)

Materials

• Lightweight and durable Hybrid Carbon Technology
• All titanium mounting hardware included

Technology

Elliptical outline 

Curved surf-style outline with pulled-in nose and tail for optimal wave fit and deeper carves. The shorter the board, the more effective it is for pumping, the less swing weight, and more maneuverable it is when riding up on the foil.

Tri-Plane Hull Design

Designed for early taakeoffs and fast 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. As foiling develops, we’re seeing a progression toward riding lower and using the touchdown as part of your turn. The angled-planing surfaces run right through to the tail, allowing you to touch down on more variable rail angles without catching.

Wing, Prone, Kite, Wake and Tow-Foiling

In the 4’4 and 4’6, the Swell can be used as a crossover board by heavier riders.

Hybrid Carbon Technology

Lighter weight construction for stiffness, maneuverability, 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. Carbon Dual T-stringers top and bottom run the length of the board and a durable PVC reinforcement layer under the standing area adds greater impact resistance and rigidity.

Crisp Release Chopped Tail

The defined edge on the tail allows for faster release off the water and drag-free touchdowns.

Deep Recessed Deck for Control and Pumpability

The concaved deck, especially in the standing area, positions the rider’s feet level with the foil for more efficient pumping. It also gives you greater leverage, responsiveness, and heel/toe roll control. The recessed deck results in most of the board’s volume being shifted out toward the rails, in turn providing greater balance and stability on takeoffs and touchdown. It also helps you get your front foot through more easily when prone surfing, so you can get to your feet faster.

Non-Abrasive High Traction Deck Grip

For a more intuitive and direct connection to your foil, high traction non-abrasive heat-embossed deckpad with centre-line ridge allows fast, easy tactile foot placement. Tail kickpad with cutouts on the Swell for your feet while prone paddling. Transverse markers on the deckpad provide a visual reference.

Centreline, Offline and V-Strap Insert Options (straps sold separately)

Multiple positioning options for each strap allow you to personalize your stance – or go strapless. Centreline and offline strap insert options accommodate both goofy or natural riding (straps sold separately).

DropBox Adjustable Fast Foil Mounting Track (165 x 90mm)

Speed-Dial your foil setup. Simply drop your foil preassembled with titanium screws and t-nuts into the track, slide it backwards, then tighten the screws to fasted. All titanium mounting hardware included. North’s 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. The measurement guide next to the track aids correct positioning. Industry-standard 90mm track spacing means the Swell is compatible with most foil systems.

GORE Waterproof 2-way Vent

The EPS core of a high volume board is affected by extreme temperature changes. To prevent air pressure build-up we’ve installed a two-way GORE Protective Vent on the top deck. This allows air to pass in and out of the board, while preventing water from entering. The vent is factory-fitted and does not require any adjustment.
